Cannelloni with Ricotta and Spinach
This is another very popular recipe in Italy 🙂 It takes a while to make it, but it’s quite simple and not difficult at all. Remember to buy enough spinach, because once you cook/boil them, very little remains 🙂 Once again, instead of ricotta I used an artisanal Orda, which is very similar and it’s…
Arrotolato di Coniglio – Stuffed Rabbit
I know that in some countries eating rabbit is not well seen, but in some other countries like mine it is a traditional food, so it’s normal. And I think it’s very good 🙂 In my family, in Italy, we always had rabbits, so I grew up eating it quite often. And I’m happy that…

Quiche with Romanesco Broccoli
Few days ago I went to my usual vegetable store and I was surprised to find a Romanesco broccoli also here 🙂 It’s a very beautiful vegetable, and it’s also healthy because is rich with antioxidants and C-vitamin.

Mákos Guba – Hungarian Poppy Seed Bread Pudding, with Vanilla Custard
This is an easy Hungarian dessert, to prepare fresh at the moment you need and to enjoy warm (but even when cooled down it’s good too) 🙂 and this time it was my wife to cook this recipe 🙂 Till I lived in Italy I never used poppy seeds, but here in Hungary is…
Pappardelle with Porcini
This is another wonderful ingredient of this season 🙂 I love porcini and I love all the wild mushrooms in general. I was lucky to grow up in a family in the Italian countryside, by the mountains, so my father and uncles always picked up wild mushrooms (and in the last 2 days my father…
