I love bread, good bread I mean, but not always I can eat it all 🙂 not a problem, we always do breadcrumbs that we always need in the kitchen, but this is another good way to use old stale bread 🙂 actually it’s not a recipe, it’s one of those things that people in…
Százrétű Kalács (a Type of Hungarian Layer Cake)
This is a Hungarian recipe that I was thinking to try since a while, and finally today I decided to do it. It’s a recipe I discovered on a Hungarian cookbook and on Youtube, made by one of the most famous food writers/TV conductors in Hungary (Borbás Marcsi), and probably my favorite because she is…
Dödölle, with Spring Onions and Porcini
Here I am with a new post about Hungarian recipes. And it’s another one I really like it 🙂 Dödölle are, let’s say, kind of gnocchi, but they are then usually cooked in a pan with pork lard until they make a nice crust. Usually they are served as a main dish with a lot…
Saddle of Deer, Purple Sweet Potatoes Purée, Asparagus
Here it is another nice recipe with game meat to do on Sunday: as I said other times, I really love game meat, it is very tasty, lean, the animals for sure had a good life and nutrition, it is just one of the healthiest meats for sure. This time I wanted to play with…
Salty Cake with Ricotta and Asparagus
It’s asparagus season, and we don’t want to miss it, right? 🙂 I usually like to eat asparagus simply as a side dish, just boiled, or to prepare a very good Risotto with them. But if you have some time this is also a great way to eat them. And it will be good also…
Roast Chicken, in Cocotte
Roasted chicken, “easy” someone might say 🙂 instead to cook well a whole chicken I think it’s not that easy, and for cooking it well I mean to have juicy meat (also the breast!), nice skin (possibly crunchy) and beautiful fresh flavor of fresh herbs. Most of the times I choose to cook the chicken…
Sfincione di Bagheria
Here we are in Sicily again, with another special and particular type of pizza/focaccia 🙂 I have already wrote a post about the most famous Sfincione (symbol of the city of Palermo), this instead is a traditional recipe of the town of Bagheria. This is also not a light recipe, and it’s something traditionally eaten…
Pasta with Sicilian Pesto
This recipe has nothing to do with the Pesto Genovese, but it’s not less good 🙂 With “pesto siciliano” often we refer to the recipe made with sun-dried tomatoes (delicious!), but also with good and ripe cherry tomatoes (it’s even more fresh). There are different options, someone for example also use pine nuts…all are very…
Puff Pastry Cake with Spinach and Ricotta
The spinach in our garden were ready to pick up, so I had to think to some good recipe 🙂 This is a very easy dish, you just have to find a good puff pastry, and the main job is already done 🙂 For the perfect result is important to drain as much as possible…
Capretto al Forno – Oven Baked Goat Kid
It’s Easter again, and like always in my family, I also like to keep the tradition of eating lamb, or even better goat kid. As I wrote already in the previous post, I know many people nowadays are against that, but I grew up with a different background, we always had animals, and I have…
Coratella di Capretto – Sautéed Goat Kid Offal
I know that many people don’t like offal and some are even disgusted of the idea, and many people don’t like to eat lamb and goat kid too, but I grew up in a family where we always had our own animals so I am since always used to eat every part of them. My…
Meatballs – Polpette al Sugo
Who doesn’t love meatballs (except vegans/vegetarians obviously)? 😀 I am sure that everyone have a family recipe you love, something your grandmother or your mom used to do, and which is one of your favorite comfort food ever 🙂 Today I am going to show my recipe. A cut I love for it is the…
