Try out these bon bons, serve them with a cup of tea or coffee while you spend time with your loved ones.

Creamy, tasty pumpkin

Crunchy potato flan

Who said mashed potatoes are boring? This recipe will show you how to create an incredibly tasty, original potato flan! Just add a few fine ingredients like nuts, Provolone cheese, spices.. and the magic is done!

Date and apple cream

Is there such a thing as a 'healthy pudding'? Of course there is! And this recipe teaches you how to make one by using 100% natural ingredients! Just get some organic dates, russet apples and the most common baking ingredients: butter, eggs and sugar. You will be surprised by the result! A fine and delicate dessert, it can be enjoyed both warm or cold.

Date Jam

Dates, especially the Deglet Nour variety, are considered 'the gold of Mediterranean Africa' and are amongst the most delicious and sugary fruits on Earth. Wonderful eaten fresh as well as dried, with their delightful taste and rich consistency, dates are an ideal ingredient both in sweet and savoury dishes. This recipe shows you how to turn these gorgeous fruits into a smooth, extraordinary jam.

Dates pancakes with hot ricotta

Homemade, warm pancakes are the best way to start the day! Be it during the week or, even better, on a lazy weekend morning, the delicate scent of soft pancakes will wake you up and put you in the right mood to tackle your to-do list. Here we are to propose an alternative to sweet, traditional pancakes: this savoury breakfast will keep your hunger at bay until lunch time!

Dried fruit and apple couscous

Some might think couscous is a cereal, but in actual fact it is a traditional Berber product made from semolina, granules of durum wheat. This very versatile ingredient, a staple food in the regions of North Africa, can be cooked and served with vegetables or stews (meat or fish), but it also can be used to prepare delightful 'salads' or desserts, like the one we are presenting here. Enjoy this nutty fruity couscous salad!

Fish stuffed squid

Stuffed squid is a pretty well known dish, typical from Sicily, and it makes a delicious main course. Thanks to their shape, squids are wonderful 'containers' for any kind of stuffing. Here we suggest a variation to the most famous recipe (see: Bread and Provolone stuffed squid), an original version featuring salmon, anchovies, prawns and pistachios. Get ready to enjoy a truly delicious dish!

Fresh cheese with tomato compote

There is an old Italian adage saying 'don't let the farmer find out how good it is to eat cheese with pears', suggesting that that supreme taste could stop him from selling his produce. There are many ways in which you can enjoy cheese and fruits together, and one option is to eat the former with some jam on top: try for instance some mature stinky cheese with a spoonful of blueberries jam.. or fresh goat's cheese with this homemade chutney!

Ham and beef cannelloni

Cannelloni is a classic dish of the Emilia Romagna culinary tradition, but many variations exist all-over the country, depending on the region or even on the family. The recipe we suggest here is the most traditional one, featuring minced beef, ham and béchamel sauce. Delicate and savoury at the same time, this dish is loved by children and adults alike.

Ice cream salami

Here comes a summery variation of the most classical 'sweet salami'. Easy and quick to prepare, it makes an ideal dessert, a fresh delicacy to top off a dinner with friends, Sunday lunch or a tasty and energising break throughout the day. Very much loved by children, it can be used as a substitute for a birthday cake pretty much too! Try it out and have fun creating your own version!

Italian 'plum cake' with pesto, Tomino cheese and walnuts

Ever thought of turning a typically sweet dish (a sort of sponge cake) into a savoury delicacy? If not, you should do now! This recipe shows you how to prepare an amazingly good tasting salty cake with some of the most traditional Italian ingredients such as Tomino cheese, pesto sauce and walnuts. Ideal for a dinner with friends, as an appetiser at parties and special occasions or to fill your lunchbox with.

Lasagne with Bolognese sauce & mushrooms

Lasagne is the name of one of the most ancient pasta forms, usually rectangular or band-shaped and thicker than tagliatelle.

Across the centuries the recipe evolved until it became what we nowadays know as Lasagne alla Bolognese.
