I can’t believe I haven’t been preparing this so much earlier. One of the most simple yet delicious appetizers that are prepared in no time! You only need a square sheet of puff pastry and a spread of your choice (I happened to have Funghi Porcini & truffles spread in the house). And you are just about done. Will definitely repeat with a artichoke spread or just a pesto with cheese sprinkled on top…
This is how you do it:

I am a great fan of mozzarella, tomato and basil (and avocado ideally), but wanted to prepare something a little different as an appetizer. Instead of fresh tomatoes I used sun-dried ones and added a slice of prosciutto last. A great taste explosion in your mouth, easy to prepare and just delicious. Give it a try!

BBQ season is one of the best in the whole year, if you ask me. Therefore I am always on the lookout for great side dishes, next to the meat. Of course salads and grilled veggies are always great, these cheese-filled mushrooms are a perfect addition to the set of possibilities. I got to know them through my mother. Simple to make, only 2 ingredients necessary and just delicious.

D E L I C I O U S. Need say no more. Ok, I will. These Italian little meatballs are just to die for. Typically eaten as antipasti, in our family we also like to eat them as a main course together with some veggies (e.g. broccoli, green beans, salad, etc.). They take a moment to prepare, but they are definitely worth it. I learned how to make them by a real Italian.

Sometime I prepare a little too much Risotto and then I of course keep the leftovers. But the Risotto never tastes as good on the next day. So what should you do with the leftover Risotto? I have the solution: Risotto balls! Easy to make and very delicious!

Yay – the sun is out again!! But this classic tastes great all year long! A typical Italian – red, white and green – salad, which goes with just about anything. It’s simple, it’s delicious and you can serve in so many different styles. Plus ideal to keep the summer up a little longer!
If you prepare for a few people, I very much like to use cherry tomatoes and smaller sized mozzarella balls. And fresh basil of course. It looks very nice and is easy to serve.
