They say easy as a pie, I would say, easy as a rice pudding. This simple dish has many variation and names between continents and countries: Arroz con leche in Spanish, Budino di riso in Italian, Risogallo in Greek, Sütlaç in Turkish, Syltjash or Tameloriz in Albanian, Duadhapak in Indian and many many more.
The beauty of the rice pudding is that it is simple and lets you play with spices and toppings. Some of my favorite spices to add are cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom or vanilla. I love to top it with nuts like walnuts, almonds, pistachio etc.
This rice pudding recipe is the one I’ve grown up with, and I really love it. I’m really curious though to try the Indian rice pudding with saffron and nuts, so I guess will be talking about rice pudding again soon.
Panna cotta is an Italian classic dessert. The word literally means “cooked cream” and is basically sweetened cream, thickened with gelatin and chilled in the fridge. It tastes wonderful with fresh fruits, fruit sauces or jam and can be prepared in advance. The texture is remarkably creamy and can be aromatized with rum, coffee, vanilla, matcha or other flavors.
My country is blessed with a Mediterranean climate, which apart from 260 days of sun per year, also means delicious fruits and vegetables. Apricots are one of my favorite summer fruits, so I was so happy to enjoy the apricots overload on farmers market this year. I eat them fresh from the fridge, I add them to salads, smoothies, I make apricot jam and lately I also made this beautiful crumble cake, which is large enough to feed 16 persons.
I didn’t plan to share this recipe on the blog, but after a step by step Insta Story, many of you wanted to try it. I couldn’t be happier, so here we are talking about eggplant parmesan, an Italian dish that is so dear to me.
I am definitely a smoothie girl who finds joy on simply mixing ingredients together trying to get that best texture, flavor, and color.
Ice cream for breakfast, ice cream as an evening snack, ice cream for dessert, or all at the same time, because is too hot. Why not? These yogurt and raspberries popsicles are a great suit for each of these cases.
I’m not sure if the world needs a recipe for fruit salad, but I really enjoy talking about fruits, photo shooting fruits and even more eating them, so why not have a colorful and tasty conversation.
Almost 2 months ago I made a short questionnaire that I shared on my Facebook page on what you would like to find more on this blog. The top answer was “healthy recipes”. Obviously, it made my day, since I love experimenting with healthy recipes.
Whenever you need a quick dessert that will satisfy everyone this cheesecake is the choice. It is slightly sweet with a nice lemon flavour and pairs perfectly with jam or fresh fruits.
