Lemon Pie or Pie de Limon 

Lemon has always been one of my favorite ingredients in the kitchen, probably because I grew up smelling their beautiful essence in many of my relatives gardens, where a lemon tree was always standing in the centre. Lemons are the essence of southern Italy's recipes and also the basic element of the most famous spirit we produce, Limoncello.

Green apple and frangipane cake with italian latte

Today I was feeling a bit nostalgic and also having a look at my week  fruits and veggies leftovers, I noticed that I still had some of those amazingly saucy green apples from the farm of my flatmate parents..

rhubarb strawberry cake

Rhubarb is one of those ingredients that took me ages before even thinking of using it in a recipe. It is actually very hard to find rhubarb in southern Italy, so it s been only in a late stage –mid twenty- and over the native land border, that I have tried it and enjoyed it.

Caprese bianca

'Caprese' means literally ‘from Capri’, which is one of the most beautiful and typical Italian island. It only takes a 40 minutes ferry trip to get to this little island, right in front of Naples, the city where I come from. I used to go to Capri when I was 3 or 4 with my parents, enjoying the extravagant fashion of the 80’s and the lemon strawberry ice cream cones.. Such a classic.

Torta Caprese

If you’re looking for a real taste of regional Italian dessert, you’re in the right place. This cake was born in 1920 in Capri’s island, a few kilometers from Naples.

Lula's Carrot cake

I am proud to say that this is one of my most successful gluten free cakes, and it was born on a rainy afternoon, spent looking for the newer and moister gluten free cake to please my friends, clients and own palate.
