Tuna Sashimi with Coconut and Thai Basil Oil
For me, spring is all about long lunches and great food. And what better way to welcome the season than with a beautiful lunch spread, starting with my Tuna Sashimi with Coconut and Thai Basil Oil
Raspberry White Chocolate Muffins
You know those bakery-style muffins with the golden, crispy crumble on top and juicy berries dotted ? Well, that was the exact inspiration for this recipe! I promise it’s the only muffin recipe you’ll ever need. Plus, you can switch up the fillings to keep things fresh—today, I’ve gone with white chocolate and raspberry, but they’re just as delicious with classic blueberry or a cozy spiced cinnamon flavour!
Truffle Arancini Balls
Pasta alla Checca
One of my all-time favourite pasta dishes is Pasta alla Checca. Our nonna would whip this up as soon as the weather started to warm, and I can’t think of a better time to share it than the first day of spring!
It’s incredibly simple, using just ripe tomatoes, creamy bocconcini, fresh basil, pasta, and a generous drizzle of olive oil. Perfect for a light, flavourful meal that celebrates the season!

Chocolate, Hazelnut and Espresso Olive Oil Cake
If you’re after a no-fuss, crowd-pleasing dessert, my Chocolate, Hazelnut and Espresso Olive Oil Cake is it! It’s one of those easy one-bowl cakes, so there's barely any mess, and because it’s olive oil-based, it stays dense and moist for ages (if it lasts that long!). The hazelnut meal, cocoa, and espresso give it such a deliciously rich and nutty flavour. Plus, that mascarpone on top with roasted hazelnuts and a little drizzle of espresso syrup? Game changer. This is definitely my go-to cake when I need something special but don't want to spend hours in the kitchen.
Nduja and Burrata Risotto
If you're looking for a dish that's sure to impress without spending hours in the kitchen, my rich and creamy nduja and burrata risotto is the answer. It’s the perfect main for an intimate dinner party or a cozy date night for two. There’s nothing quite like breaking into that burrata and watching the deliciously creamy stracciatella ooze out—pure indulgence!
10 Minute Chicken Teriyaki Bowls
When you're short on time but still want something delicious, these Teriyaki Chicken Rice Bowls are perfect! They come together in just 10 minutes, making them a quick and satisfying meal. Simply pan-fry the chicken with a homemade teriyaki sauce, serve it over rice, and top with spring onions. You can add any veggies you have on hand—like I did with some broccoli, which I boiled and then pan-fried in the leftover teriyaki sauce. For even more convenience, microwavable rice works great too. A super easy meal for when you're in a rush!
One Pot Roast Chicken
Stuck on what to cook for dinner tonight? Look no further—my one-pot roast chicken has you covered! I could practically make this blindfolded since it's a weekly go-to in my kitchen. It’s super easy but still tastes like you’ve put hours of love into it. Just brown the chicken in a large pot, toss it in the oven with your favorite veggies and herbs, and let it cook for about 50 minutes. That’s it!
And the best part? If you’ve got leftovers, tomorrow’s chicken, lettuce, and mayo sandwich is ready to go!

Nonna’s Italian Lentil Soup
As a recipe developer, I often get asked where I get my love for cooking, and unsurprisingly to anyone who's tasted her food, it comes from my Nonna Anna. Having worked as a restaurant cook after migrating to Australia she sure knows how to make any recipe taste amazing, especially this one - her lentil soup.
It’s a humble dish with just a few ingredients, but the secret to her recipes is time. She always takes the time to cook things low and slow, never rushing the process. Now I know this might seem like a simple recipe, but there’s something so deliciously comforting about it, and now that I have the recipe, I know it’ll be a regular part of my weekly meal plan!
