Raw Carrot Cake Bites // Bocconcini crudisti di Carrot Cake

Ahhh, carrots. They are one of those few vegetables I've always loved and yet I've never had carrot cake in my entire life. That's crazy, right? To be honest though, I'm not even that interested in trying it because of all the sugar, white flour and other not-so-healthy ingredients.

Moroccan Chicken and Cauliflower Couscous // Pollo e couscous di cavolfiore alla marocchina

I've been making cauliflower rice so often to make those damn cauliflower buns that now that I've mastered them, I miss cutting cauliflower into florets and magically transform them into rice. What I'm trying to say is that I needed to find an excuse to make it and that's when I remembered saving this Moroccan chicken cauliflower couscous bowls recipe. I wanted to try it back in February but I eventually ended up using the chicken breast to make a quick curry.

Cauliflower Buns // Panini di cavolfiore

 Remember what I told you a couple of months ago? That my first failed attempt at making cauliflower bagels wouldn't be the last one. So, as promised, here they are, my beautiful cauliflower bagels buns.

Black Forest Smoothie // Smoothie foresta nera

Black forest cake, or as Germans called it, Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte, is my favourite cake. I love it so much, my mother has been making it for my birthday since I was 15. I'm 23 now, and that's still the tradition. That said, black forest cake isn't the only black forest dessert my mother has made during the past 8 years. There have also been black forest cupcakes and black forest crêpes.

Pasta alla Norma

I can't believe it's already been a year since I made my first risotto. Why am I bring that up in a pasta dish? Because it was the Caprese risotto I made to celebrate the Italian Republic's 70th birthday. Which makes today its 71th birthday. I know 71 isn't special, but I still wanted to make something so I made pasta alla Norma.
