Recipes from my kitchen to yours
While talking with my mother yesterday, I remembered a dish that I haven’t made in a very long time – pork tenderloin with coffee cream sauce. This sauce was very popular at my mum’s table. Sometimes with pork tenderloin, sometimes with steak, sometimes with pork chops, you got the picture 🙂 It’s one of…
I’ve made this Chile con queso (cheese dip) so many times and I always forget to take some pictures to share it with you… how bad! We love it so much that we start eating it before it even reaches the table and then it’s too late for some nice photos 🙂 This time I locked…
Let’s start 2018 with a delicious and traditional French apple tart… this dessert is a must at my table during the Christmas festivities! It was like this in Portugal because my aunt loves desserts with apples and it will continue here in Malta because the boyfriend loves it too… Nothing like a family in agreement…

I hate wasting food… and I really hope that at least the majority of you are like me! I’m lucky that the boyfriend comes home for lunch everyday so any leftovers end up in his plate the day after. But sometimes the leftovers are not exactly part of the finished meal, sometimes I get left…
I find these ricotta stuffed tomatoes to be one of those dishes that I’m always thinking about but I never get to make it. The main reason might be because I don’t know exactly how to serve it… Let’s think about it for a minute: it can be a starter, but it depends on the…
If you have followed my recipes (you have, haven’t you?), then you must have noticed how much I like the combination of almonds and orange flavours… Last time I showed you my Orange and almond cream and now it’s the turn of orange and almond cake. See how much I like these two put together?…
Sometimes I run out of ideas for dinner… I’m sure it happens to some of you too! Most days I start thinking about dinner at about 4pm! The goal is that I know what to buy from the supermarket when I finish at 5! But some days my imagination is completely gone… So thank God…
