Spinach and Asparagus Risotto
Coming from Malta, which is geographically very close to Italy, we share a lot of common aspects between our culture and that of Italy.

Homemade Sweet Potato Ravioli
Last week’s weather here in Budapest was not too nice. We had some cold and very cloudy days… the kind of days where you feel like staying under a blanket watching movies all day long. OK I spent a day like this once but then it got a bit boring for me and decided to do…

Quiche
Quiche is another all time favourite at home. It is great for Sunday brunch, light lunch or even dinner accompanied with a leafy salad. It is very simple to make! The basic ingredients for a quiche are the pastry, eggs and milk or cream. You can then opt for a vegetarian version or add meat if…
Chicken & Prawn ‘Paella’
I am sure you have all heard about the Spanish rice dish called paella. A few years ago, my husband travelled to Barcelona for a conference, and obviously while there, he had to try this dish. He tried it twice; the first time in Girona, in a traditional Catalan restaurant, and the paella was really delicious and full…
