Fried Mozzarella Balls With Homemade Tomato Sauce by Jenny

A week or so back I had a chance to taste fried mozzarella balls with tomato sauce. These were served to us alongside with some other deep fried appetizers. The mozzarella balls were absolutely divine and I knew back then that I would be trying to copy them and get as close to the delicious flavours as possible. I haven’t even done…

Victoria Sponge by Gina Geremia

I decided to make the cake how I would want it, by using a blend of fresh raspberries and strawberries mixed together with a blend of raspberry and strawberry jam and topped with a stabilized whipped cream, rather than just strawberry jam and a buttercream frosting. The result? To die for! Word on the street was that it was the best…

Madeleines by Christine

I had been longing to make madeleines or small French Sponge Cake for quite some time. All this while, I postponed the idea of making madeleines because I could not find the shell shaped molds typically designed for madeleines.

Raw Zucchini Salad by Jenny

Up until now I had always bought zucchini and thought to myself: ‘’Now I am going to make something new with it! Something a bit different!’’ But the truth is I had ended up using it the same way – in my tomato pasta sauce. But this has come to an end now and so I have decided to make a salad. A salad with zucchini. Truth be told…

Simple Family Lasagne by Mihir Shah

This is a variation on Tara's lasagne - it's a healthier version of lasagne because you replace much of the cheese filling with lowfat cottage cheese. I've added a little ketchup and some bacon to give the flavor a bounce. I've also made this with my 6 year-old daughter. It's easy to make and a wonderful way to spend a half…

Chik'n Marsala by Kiki Thompson

The thing I LOVE about this recipe is that it’s quick, easy & Italian It’s one of those dishes that you can whip right up when you’re really not feeling the jive to make a feast after a long day of work (that’s what I did).

Delicious Banana Bread by Jenny

A few months back my sister told me she baked banana bread. She was delighted with how it turned out for her and suggested I tried it too. To be honest, I wasn’t even keen on trying it. Couldn’t understand why she was so excited about it! But… One day we had some very ripe bananas at home and no one wanted to eat them (well, who…
