Italian inspired recipes


First, if you haven't yet seen my latest post you might like to take a look at this recipe for Mediterranean quiche. It is packed with Mediterranean vegetables and Mozzarella inside a wholemeal crust and makes a tasty lunch or dinner idea.

With the arrival of the warmer weather I have switched from winter warmers to more summery meals. This has prompted me to select a few Italian inspired recipes such as bruschetta and stracciatella for you to enjoy a taste of Italy at home.

Tomato and olive bruschetta

Bruschetta is packed with Italian flavours and is simple to make. Serve as an appetiser, side or party food.

Focaccia art

Create you own floral design with this easy focaccia recipe. Serve with pasta dishes or salads.

Ravioli

You can't beat homemade pasta! This cheese and spinach ravioli will add a touch of luxury to your table.

Stracciatella ice cream

Stracciatella is a creamy vanilla ice cream with strands of chocolate. You can make it at home by hand without the need for an ice cream maker.

Until next time 🙂
