Sicily is one of my favourite regions of Italy. Full of history, baroque little towns, amazing coastline, vineyards, not to mention an active volcano. But the best thing about Sicily is the food. Such an eclectic mix of flavours due to the influences from so many different cultures that invaded it over the years. What…

Spaghetti Frittata with Tomatoes and Feta
If there is something I do well, it’s cook waayyy too much food. I know it’s a classic Italian stero-type, the Italian Mama that likes to over-feed you, but in my case it’s definitely true. Maybe not so much the over-feeding bit, but definitely guilty of the ‘cooking too much’ bit. I do like to…

Tomatoes with Baked Eggs and Crispy Prosciutto
This is a great way to get your big breakfast on all in one. All you do is use a spoon to scoop out all the flesh from the inside of each tomato so it looks like a little cup. Add a couple of spoonfuls of pasta sauce, a sprinkling of oregano and then carefully…
