Ricotta pudding with tomato pesto

Ever thought of making a savoury pudding instead of the more run-of-the-mill sweet ones? With this recipe we present an original, creamy custard, made of two of the most famous Italian cheeses and topped off with a special sun-dried tomato pesto. Very versatile, you can serve it both as an appetiser or as a main course, accompanied by vegetables and crunchy croutons.

Risotto di orto e di mare

The 'sea and garden risotto' is a traditional recipe where fish meets vegetables. It's a delicious and very much loved dish, flavourful and pretty easy to make. Ideal on special occasions such as a family get-together or a holiday, but of course it can also be enjoyed on any other day of the year.

Risotto with Octopus

Risotto with octopus is quite a refined dish that brings together land and sea in a combination of well-balanced flavours. This is the ideal recipe for all those who love seafood and who cannot resist a lovingly prepared risotto. In this version we enriched this dish even more by adding roasted red onions and chunks of cured sausage.

Roast beef with Balsamic Vinegar

Traditional and original both at the same time, what makes this roast beef recipe stand out is its topping, made of a balsamic vinegar reduction and Parmigiano Reggiano slivers. This delicate, tender meat can be served hot or at room temperature and its leftovers can be enjoyed the next day too. Ideal as a main course, it also makes a good choice for a picnic or a buffet.

Saffron and gold leaf Risotto

This recipe, saffron and gold leaf risotto, owes its fame to the renowned Italian chef Gualtiero Marchesi, who first created it. Of course, this is not his exact recipe since he won't reveal it, but we think this one will do justice to the original one!

Saffron and salted codfish Risotto

Salted codfish is a relatively infrequent ingredient in Italian kitchens, but is still a very tasty and versatile element. The risotto recipe we are suggesting here requires average cooking skills but the result will be astonishing! A simple and delicate flavour, with a touch of saffron: a delight for the eyes and the taste buds too.

Salad with tuna, peppers, mango and almonds

This whole, very colourful dish evokes memories of Mediterranean summers and sunny days spent at the beach. The taste of the exotic mango with the Italian bell peppers, green leaves, tuna and almonds, makes this a balanced, highly nutritious salad, ideal for those watching their weight too. The perfect dish for a tasty, yet simple, lunch or dinner, great served with some homemade bread.

Salted witches fingers

This is one of the easiest, yet incredibly yummy and funny recipes you can stumble across! With the aid of salty short crust pastry, you will be able to create creepy Halloween breadsticks - or Witches fingers, nails and all! - to serve to your children or as part of a party buffet, together with appetisers, cold cuts, cheeses, marinated or grilled veggies.. So, with the candles aglow, lights out, the spooky effect is a cert!!

Spaghetti with cod, beans & extra virgin olive oil

Spaghetti with cod, beans & EVO

This is a combination of two famous Italian dishes, 'pasta e fagioli' and pasta with codfish and tomato sauce. In some places in Italy, combining beans and fish is quite usual and for one good reason: it tastes great! Also, it makes an ideal pairing on special occasions, like for instance on Christmas' or New Year's eve. All you need is top quality ingredients and soon you'll have a one pot dish everyone will enjoy!

Strawberries with Balsamic Vinegar

Here comes a fresh, original and unbelievably easy recipe for a dessert or a rather eccentric salad: the sweetness and tenderness of the strawberries marry beautifully with the stronger Parmigiano Reggiano flavour, and both tastes are enhanced by the balsamic vinegar drops. You can serve it as a dessert or you can enjoy it as a salad on warm spring and summer days, in which case, feel free to add some greens!

Stuffed onions

If you like onions, but only use them as a 'secondary' ingredient in recipes, let us suggest a dish where they take on the lead role, with great success! The tender, juicy outer layers, filled with a savoury yet sweet filling, will seduce your guests and leave them wanting more. Ideal served as an appetiser, as part of a buffet or as a side dish to a delicate meat- or fish-based main course.

Stuffed veal in tomato sauce

This recipe, originating from the northern region of Lombardy, perfectly matches the tenderness of veal rump with a complimentary flavourful spicy filling, creating a colourful, yet delicate main course. The tomato sauce provides extra moisture, balancing out the texture of the meat and harmonising its taste. Perfect for a sunday lunch or a special occasion, this dish will please the most demanding of palates! Serve with a nice Amarone della Valpolicella and rest assured that it will be a success!

Sweet ricotta mousse

Ricotta is a typical and very versatile Italian cottage cheese: it can be eaten along with savoury dishes, be an ingredient of a savoury dish itself (e.g. pasta with ricotta, quiche..) or it can be a great dessert component! The dessert we suggest in this recipe is a real delicacy - sweet and 100% natural and wholesome at the same time! Feel free to enjoy it.. without the guilt!

Tiramisu with Pandoro

A variation to the classic Tiramisu recipe perfect for Christmas time.
