This tender, moist miso banana cake with walnuts (pecans are great too) is so easy and fun with an Asian twist. The miso works surprisingly well, giving the classic banana cake a deeper, robust umami flavour that really elevates the cake. The mascarpone cream and caramel walnuts are completely optional, but I thought it's a cake, so a little icing won't hurt.

If you’re a fan of traditional seafood boil or the viral onion boil that has recently been circulating on youtube and tiktok, or simply because you love eggs, garlic and butter, you need to try this soft egg boil. The preparation is slightly different than the traditional boil, but it's equally buttery and downright delicious. The sauce comes together in minutes, and is so saucy and flavourful you will want to enjoy every morsel soaked up with bread, rice or pasta. If you ain't fancy for soft-boiled eggs, simply hard boil them.

Thursday, January 02, 2025Melanzane a Funghetto in Neapolitan, or eggplants cooked in the style of small mushrooms, a quick side dish that’s simple, quick to prepare and so delicious! You can serve them as a side, or with pasta or as a topping with shaved Parmesan for crostini.

May the New Year bless you all with health, wealth, and happiness!
A festive and refreshing arugla salad loaded with raspberries, pomegranate arils, creamy burrata cheese, shaved black truffle, and drizzled with a truffle balsamic glaze and argan oil!
Burrata is a special form of mozzarella that is characterised by its creaminess. Alternatively, you can also use mozarrella di bufalo or just regular mozzarella. As the name suggests, the mozarrella di bufalo is made from buffalo milk instead of cow's milk. It also tastes creamy, slightly salty and tangy.

Giouvetsi (translated as 'little barley') or youvetsi is a Greek dish made with veal / beef, lamb or chicken and pasta, either kritharaki or hilopites. This flavour-packed one-pan chicken dish in a rich tomato-based sauce is the ultimate Greek comfort food! Traditionally giouvetsi is served with a hard white goat cheese called kefalotiri. Use Parmesan or Feta instead if you like. To make this stew with lamb or beef, you might need to spice it up a bit with cinnamon, paprika, chilli, and more allspice. Replace some of the stock with red wine for a richer flavour.

A chocolate twist on a classic featuring black cocoa and white couverture filling! Engelsaugen, or Angel's Eyes, are small shortcrust biscuits with a fruity jam filling, resembling the American thumbprint cookies. They are a real classic for Christmas's cookie tray. The dough is easy to prepare and is literally melt-in-mouth. Ground almonds are also added to provide a wonderful nutty flavour. I like the effect of the contrast of white chocolate and deep black, but you can also fill your angel's eye biscuits with jelly or melted nut nougat.
