During this time of the year, when peaches are very ripe and in full season, I like to include them in various smoothies, salads, muffins and galettes. One of my favourite summer salads includes peaches, burrata, tomatoes, fresh basil and a balsamic vinegar dressing. A simple meal which is easy to put together and incorporates…

Creamy Mushroom Pie
It’s Pi π Day today and I have decided to share with you this delicious recipe for a creamy mushroom pie! I have made this filling on several occasions and it was always well received and disappears quickly. 🙂 I love anything with pastry as a comfort food… and this creamy mushroom filling takes creates…
Classic Apple Pie
During our holiday in Bavaria a couple of weeks ago, apple season was at its peak. Our family there has a couple of apple trees in their garden and the fruit was pretty abundant. 🍏🍎 Seeing all this, I asked whether I could prepare an apple pie for them and they gladly agreed. Apple pie…
Tomato Galette
You know Summer is very close by when you start noticing a variety of tomatoes at the local farmers market. This is what happened last weekend 🙂 At that instant I knew that I had to get my hands on some of them to prepare a delicious summer-and-sunshine-on-a-plate (aka tomato) galette. This is a simple…
Caramelised Onions, Pear and Stilton Cheese Tart
The first time I made this tart was for lunch last Christmas. I was risking some guests not eating my starter because I know that some of them do not like the idea of mixing fruit/sweet flavours with savoury ones. However, I wanted to make something different than the usual soup and ultimately decided to…

Pizza time!
Pizza is enjoyed by everyone, from kids to adults. The best thing about it is that it can be personalised and topped with your favourite toppings. You can get store-bought pizza dough at most supermarkets, roll it out and put your desired ingredients on top. But what if you could make your own pizza dough…
Spinach, Mushroom & Kimchi Pies
Since last Autumn, we had been experimenting with making our own kimchi at home. The first attempt was way too garlicky, which made the whole thing past the edible zone. Over time, the experiment has come a long way and we are happy with the latest batches that we made. Once you get the hang…
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…
Qassatat tal-Piżelli
Last week, I was really craving some Maltese qassatat. These are the fast food of Malta, along with the pastizzi, square pizza, sausage rolls and various pies. In almost every village you will find that small shop selling these tasty snacks. I had never made them before, but knowing I would not find something similar here…
