Ossobuco Recipe
Ossobuco alla Milanese is a Milan-style dish of veal shanks braised in a tomato and white wine sauce. The slow-cooked ossobuco becomes so tender and juicy that it falls right off the bone, and the bone marrow creates an additional explosion of happiness (and nutrients) with every bite.
Italian Almond Cookies Recipe
This particular recipe is rich with history, dating back more than 80 years and was brought to Australia by Italian immigrant and renowned pastry-chef, Giorgio – now 94 years old. These almond biscuits are sold by Brunetti Classico in Melbourne and are one of their most popular delicacies. Aside from their irresistible almond flavour, their unique quality is the delicate crunch on the outside and soft centre.
Polpo alla Luciana Recipe
This iconic Neapolitan dish made with tender octopus is a simple stew to make but with the most remarkable flavours. Prepared using peeled tomatoes, garlic, olives, capers and fresh parsley it is truly a symbol of the Mediterranean and an ode to fishermen who would cook their freshly caught octopus dockside at the end of their day.
Risotto with Radicchio
Radicchio Risotto is a unique and flavorful dish that will surprise your taste buds with its explosion of creaminess. Moreover, the combination of butter, gorgonzola, and pecorino cheese creates a rich and savory base. While the starch in the risotto makes it delightfully creamy. Additionally, the surprise ingredient in this dish is the radicchio. Which adds a pleasant bitterness that perfectly balances the richness of the cheese.
Creamy Mushroom Risotto
My mushroom risotto recipe is a no-fail way to master the creamiest risotto you will ever taste – minus the cream of course! Using wild porcini mushrooms, fresh parsley, and a sprinkle of parmigiano cheese you barely need any ingredients to recreate this Northern Italian dish in your own kitchen…and wait until you taste it! Trust me, it’s not hard, and once you realize that you’ll never order it out again! Try it with your own favourite ingredients and let me know what you choose…
Italian Bruschetta
Italian bruschetta is an absolute classic. It’s a common staple on Italian restaurant menus all over the world and for many Italians reminds them of “cucina povera” (or peasant food); dating back to a time where nothing was wasted, day old bread would be smothered with freshly pressed oil and vegetables from the farm. My favourite part about this dish is the sensational flavour you get from the tomato juice when using freshly grown or organic varieties.
Polenta Abruzzo Style
Polenta is a hearty, classic Northern Italian style dish. This is my Nonna’s version, made using cornmeal only and topped with a hearty sausage ragu. It is bold and rich in flavour and was traditionally served spread onto the middle of the table so everyone could dig in and get their portion. This is sure to be your new favourite topping the next time you serve up polenta. (Did you know its also gluten free?)
Ossobuco recipe
Ossobuco alla Milanese is a Milan-style dish of veal shanks braised in a tomato and white wine sauce. The slow-cooked ossobuco becomes so tender and juicy that it falls right off the bone, and the bone marrow creates an additional explosion of happiness (and nutrients) with every bite. This is a complete dish and the perfect comfort food to have on a cold winter night or as a special meal.
No Knead Ciabatta Bread
Making no-knead ciabatta bread rolls is a great way to bake fresh bread at home without the hassle of kneading. Not only is it a simple process, but it also yields delicious and crispy rolls. Perfect for sandwiches, bruschetta, or even as a side for your dinner. Additionally, the beauty of this recipe is that you only need a few ingredients, a mixing bowl, and a baking sheet. The result is a rustic, artisanal bread that will impress your family and friends.
Chicken Broth
This twist on classic chicken broth warms my heart (and my tummy!) with as it’s truly one-of-a-kind. Passing on this chicken broth recipe to me felt like I was gaining a part of Nonna’s history and I will treasure it forever and hope you do too! While it’s a perfect dish for the changing weather, it can be enjoyed as an entrée in smaller portions and will surely become a family favourite in your homes too.
CHICKEN BROTH SOUP
Chicken broth served with parmesan crepes is a traditional recipe in Abruzzo. This recipe is a staple at Christmas lunch, at least in my family! This dish cannot be missing, otherwise it wouldn't be Christmas 🎄
Mozzarella in Carrozza
The mozzarella in carrozza is a Southern Italian version, born in Naples. It is crispy on the outside with a delicious, melty, stringy mozzarella inside. Irresistible is an absolute understatement for the cheesiest, savoury treat you can imagine. Plus it can be made in no time and with just a few key ingredients. Artisan bread, an egg/flour coating, and high-quality mozzarella cheese are the secret to making this Neapolitan street food that will satisfy all of your senses. Hungry yet?
Mozzarella Treccine
Crafted at the renowned Vannella Cheese Factory, Mozzarella Treccine is a delicate art form. Meticulously crafted by expert hands, fresh curd is transformed into long, twisted ropes of velvety, creamy mozzarella. The cheese artisans skillfully weave these strands to create beautiful braids, preserving the cheese's purity and rich taste
Garlic Bread
The origins of garlic bread aren’t very well-known, but what I do know is the popularity of this dish is remarkable across the world! When you look at the basics, it’s similar to a bruschetta so I invite you to try my authentic Italian variation of garlic bread which is all about a delicious creamy paste, smothered on crispy golden ciabatta bread. What would I call it? Bruschetta aglio e olio and it is absolutely, positively DIVINE!
Sicilian Arancini
This Sicilian Arancini recipe is traditional, authentic and gooey-licious! These crispy, golden balls are filled with al dente rice, tender ground beef, fresh basil and the most aromatic flavours..not to mention divine, melted cheese! They are then coated in fresh breadcrumbs, deep fried and MUST BE EATEN HOT. Arancini are arguably one of the most famous Italian savoury delights that exist, and I cannot get enough. In Sicily the fillings will amaze you – do you have a favourite?
Homemade Saffron
Every year, Italy’s sun-drenched fields carry the promise of saffron, a herb otherwise known as “red gold”. The story behind the harvest is captivating and recently, we met Donatella and her incredibly devoted family who have been growing saffron for generations. Their strong connection to the land and reverence for tradition can be seen in every saffron thread they grow, and for this they are immensely proud.
Burrata Cheese
Burrata is a fresh Italian cheese, it has a soft outer shell made of mozzarella and is filled with a rich, creamy center. The skilled artisans at Vannella use only the freshest ingredients to create this delectable cheese. Elevate your culinary experience with Vannella's Burrata, and savor the authentic taste of Italy in every bite.
Frittata
This Italian frittata is exactly the way I like to make it. Using fresh, creamy, fluffy eggs which pair well with savoury asparagus, parsley and of course, Pecorino Romano cheese.
