One of the perks of being a food blogger is getting invited to nice events, such as tastings, cookery lessons and opening parties. These occasions offer the chance to experience different dishes, discover new cuisines and meet people with whom I share...

Oh, how I wish I could celebrate Thanksgiving! It's such a nice tradition! Of course, every holiday that involves cooking and eating large amounts of comfort food is worth celebrating, isn't it?! This year I discovered that many London restaurants were...

Did I mention I LOVE breakfast?! It's my favourite time of the day, it's the reason why I go to bed in the evening and why I wake up in the morning! I would have called my blog "I love breakfast" if it didn't exist already! ;) Even more, I love breakfast...

Update: my iPhone was stolen a few hours after publishing this post, so unfortunately this will be my *only* week on Instagram... :( As you know by now, I am addicted to photographing food. Like, all the time. Sometimes I feel like I have to apologize...

After months of postponing, the day finally arrived for me to try the most famous American-style BBQ joint in London, Pitt Cue Co. Opened in January by chef Tom Adams and his friend Jamie Berger, Pitt Cue has already reached cult status, for its fantastic...

Well done, Giulia! So far, I have kept the promise of baking and sharing a new recipe every week. I've been busy all weekend, then spent two days in Germany for work, but luckily yesterday I had the opportunity to bake as I decided to work from home....

Happy New Year to all my followers! My first post of 2012 is a recipe for a light and chocolatey roll, which I made for a NYE dinner party I hosted last night. I found this recipe of Smitten Kitchen and followed it minutely. It was a tricky process. Overall...

It's crazy how big Valentine's Day has become. All I see around me today is chocolate, hearts and red flowers! Greedy marketing operations aside, I like the idea of having one day in the year where you are reminded to be romantic. We shouldn't feel obliged...

Finally I am getting round to writing about the Scandilicious Brunch I attended back in (gasp, time flies!) April. I've been in love with everything Scandinavian ever since I traveled in Norway last year and then visited Stockholm in January. With stunning...

When I first told my mum that I was taking part in the Lavazza Coffee Set Match competition, she said to me: "you are going to make the birthday cake, aren't you?". Let me explain, for those of you who are not familiar with the birthday traditions of...

Three weeks ago, it was a warm and sunny day in Italy and I was happily strolling around Venice, holding hands with my fiancé. Ehm...lucky girl, I know. We had spoken about going there for a mini-honeymoon after our wedding in September, but the occasion...

Do you remember when I blogged about Burger Monday last month? Daniel Young of Young & Foodish has just launched a new series of events called Roast Sunday. I managed to book a ticket for the first sitting and I am here now to share my photos and impressions...

When in Somerset last weekend, we spent 3 nights in a clean, pretty and well-equipped caravan overlooking the Bristol Channel. I would have loved to stay in a B&B, but we chose the caravan to save money and to be able to cook our own meals in the evening....

To celebrate the second anniversary of Lavazza being the "Official Coffee of the Wimbledon Championships", the coffee brand has launched the Lavazza Coffee Set Match blogger challenge and I've been invited to participate! :) So expect many coffee-based...

Just a quick post to share a little news with you...I am married! :) Last Saturday we had a small wedding ceremony at the register office here in London! It was intimate and simple and I loved every minute of it! It was a beautiful day and such a treat...

In the 10 months since I started Mondomulia, I have learnt a lot about food, photography, social media, and I have also met many wonderful people. I had no idea that any of this would happen. I didn't create Mondomulia to become a 'blogger'. I was bored...

It was my birthday last Friday and against my tradition of organizing a dinner party with friends, I took the day off and flew to Stockholm to celebrate with style! Luckily my fiancé is always up for visiting new places (especially if cold and snowy)...

I'm writing today's post from a café in the centre of Trieste, Italy, sitting in the sun and enjoying an aperitivo with Spritz Aperol. I have been on holiday for the whole week, going to the beach and visiting Trieste and Venice, but most of all spending...

Hello! I'm back from a long weekend in Rome, during which I immersed myself fully into the wedding planning, ate a month's worth of carbs, saw my fiancé complete his first marathon, ran the Roma Fun 4k race, helped my 92-year old grandma make gnocchi...

Did I mention that I'm in the final of Lavazza Coffee Set Match? The results were announced on Friday and now it's only me and Michelle, of Utterly Scrummy, left in the competition! We have been asked to prepare one final blog post, a judge will review...

This week's recipe for the Lavazza Coffee Set Match blogger challenge is an original twist to the Affogato al Caffè. Super easy to make and perfect for summer days, it is a great dessert idea for your next dinner party! Ingredients * Vanilla Ice-cream...

Following the success of their test run last December, The Stock MKT was back in Bermondsey Square, SE1 on Friday 27th April, and I was there to take the official photos of the event! Located just 10 minutes walk from Borough station, Bermondsey Square...

Today has been a sugar-filled day, starting with custard doughnuts and buttermilk pancakes at Maltby Street (more about that soon!) and finishing with a cake I baked for the Lavazza Coffee Set Match challenge. Using this recipe (in Italian only), I have...

My new favourite coffee shop in London. All photos were taken in the Covent Garden shop.

A traditional Japanese Sushi Bar, called Sushi Tetsu, opened last month in London. Tucked in a cobbled alleyway in Clerkenwell, it has already caused sensation among food bloggers and writers, who are racing to be among the first to review it. I happen...
