3-Ingredient Walnut Flourless Cake
I was a little skeptical that a flourless cake recipe could be made with three ingredients, but what a delight! The ground walnuts provide depth and texture.
Crema di Limoncello - Limoncello Milk Liqueur
This crema di limoncello is a typical recipe from the South of Italy, based on the Limoncello but adding milk to the liqueur. Serve the subtle drink chilled.
Evergreen
Very Belini like, not too alcoholic, full of fruit, blended using a fruit slush rather then ice to cool it.
Chicken Piri-Piri
Grilled chicken piri-piri is another classic Portuguese recipe, and great for summer. The chicken is fabulous cold and ideal for picnics or a summer dinner.
Mostarda Mantovana - Fruit and Mustard Sauce from Mantova
The oldest recipe for Mostarda Mantovana was published in the 14th Century and is still the basis of the modern recipes. It is mostly made with pear and apple.
Port Wine Jelly
How could I post an Italian Wine Jelly without posting the most subttle of all the Jellies - Port wine. Well, being Portuguese and living in Italy does make me cook very different things so here is the Port Wine Jelly. Serve with red meat, grilled or roasted. Also is fabulous to brush on the meat when it is cooked and leave covered with aluminium foil to rest.
Vernaccia Wine Jelly
Wine jelly is one of my favourite sauces to serve with a good mature cheese like Pecorino. It is also very nice to serve with roasted or grilled poultry or pork meat. I make wine jellies of many kinds, this is one of my favourites. Vernaccia is a white wine from the San Gimignano region in Tuscany and this jelly has a lot of flavour and the taste of the Vernaccia is exquisite.
Can't live without you Garlic Infused Olive Oil
I decided to make life simple and make my own DIY Garlic Oil and have it handy for all the recipes that call for garlic. Made with only 2 ingredients! Try it!
Blueberry Cocktail (Liqueur Drinks)
This Blueberry Liqueur Drinks recipe calls for Mirto di Sardegna Rosso (red Blueberry Liqueur), a very popular liqueur form the islands of Sardinia.
Italianissmo Limoncello Panaché
In France, a panaché is a drink served in summer made from a mix of beer with lemon-flavored soda like Seven-Up or Sprite. This makes for a refreshing drink.
Grilled Taleggio cheese, Salami and Truffle Honey - Crostone di Taleggio, Salami con Miele Tartufato
For this recipe, use Italian bread and truffle salami don't hesitate - the difference is amazing. I make my crostones with Taleggio cheese instead of Fontina.
Classic French Potato Purée - Extra Smooth
This recipe is my version of the best potato purée I have ever tasted, the classic French purée made by Chef Joël Robuchon with lots of fresh cold butter.
Fig Jam with Cinnamon, Vanilla and Grappa
Every year I make lots of jams from fruits from my garden. Fig jam, I have found, are not my grandchildren's choice (strawberry and peach are their favourite). So I decided to make an adult version of fig jam - I added vanilla bean, cinnamon stick and Grappa at the very end. I use this jam in fig tarts (under the figs) and also in the simple Italian Crostata. It also goes very well with a mature Pecorino cheese and Gorgonzola! I never exceed 4 1/2 pounds of fruit at a time because I find that the colour doesn't come out as nice. Just don't ask me why, but it's a fact with all my jams!
