A few weeks ago I was invited to Rotary Bar & Diner for the launch of their new brunch menu designed by Chef Carl Clark (Disco Bistro). Rotary is a beautiful all-day diner and bar from the team behind Redhook and Giant Robot, with a great central location...

Hello! Over the past four weeks I've had the chance to visit some of the most beautiful coffee shops in Australia and New Zealand, but before I get the chance to tell you all about them, let me share with you a review of a lovely café I regularly visit...

These past few weeks I've been increasingly thinking about Australia and missing the weather, the lifestyle, the food, the coffee! At the time I was there, I didn't fall in love with this country as I thought I would and maybe it's because I was longing...

In May I was approached by Countlan Magazine, a quarterly digital magazine dedicated to exploring how people all over the world entertain at home, with in-depth articles on design, etiquette, travel, cultural traditions and food. They asked if I wanted...

One month ago I made a special cake for my husband's birthday. It's called Bløtkake and is a traditional Norwegian cake made with layers of sponge, jam and whipped cream, topped with fresh fruits and berries. My husband specifically asked for this cake,...

My second entry to the CHOBrunch competition to win a full weekend pass to #FBC5 is a recipe for Pomegranate Yogurt Cheesecake Pots. The winning recipe will be recreated by Chobani UK and served at the Sunday brunch during the convention, so I wanted...

I have spent many fun weekends with my Blog 'n' Bake friends this summer, picnicking in Hampstead Heath, picking berries at the farm or selling cakes at Street Feast. Another one of our adventures was punting in Oxford. A punt is a flat-bottomed boat...

One of my favourite meals of these past few months was at Upstairs at Ten Bells, the Young Turks British restaurant above the historic Ten Bells pub in Spitalfields. Upstairs at the Ten Bells [...] initially started as a temporary, 3 month project by...

Summer has really arrived here in London and I am certainly making the most of it! One of my favourite things to do when the sun is out is a picnic with friends in one of the many beautiful parks of the city. So two weeks ago we met Sam, Hannah, Wendy...

Ever since reading a post on Love Taza about strawberry picking, I've been dreaming about visiting a PYO (Pick Your Own) farm here in England. Luckily my friends Sam and Hannah knew exactly the right place: Peterley Manor in Buckinghamshire. I planned...

I've been a busy bee this weekend, baking loads of cakes and biscuits for Terrone's pop-up coffee shop in Brixton! Photos to come soon... I decided to make simple chunky chocolate chip cookies, because that's one of the things I usually crave when drinking...

When I heard that the team behind my favourite local coffee shop, Brickwood Coffee & Bread, was going to open a wine bar in Clapham Common I was obviously very curious. And that was before I knew that the bar was located in a 100 year old former public...

Two weeks ago I bought an ice cream maker. It was one of those impulsive buy that are far too easy to make on Amazon. But I had to convince my husband first. "I will use it a lot!" "it's good to eat homemade ice cream as it's not loaded with sugar!" "it...

Last Saturday I finally paid a visit to Netil Market in Hackney. I had been wanting to go for at least a year, but the excuse to make the trip across town finally came when Terrone Coffee opened up an espresso bar there last month. Established by Edy...

The countdown to Mother's day has already begun and here in London the supermarkets and shops are full of mum-related gifts and cards. Mothering Sunday is a celebration traditionally held in the UK on the fourth Sunday of Lent and three weeks before Easter...

In October I went to Wales for a long weekend with my husband and two friends and stayed in a charming cottage in Brecon Beacons National Park. On arriving at the cottage I discovered a beautiful cast iron oven in the kitchen! As it was going to be our...

Every month, Birchbox subscribers receive a personalised box filled with a curated selection of must-try beauty and lifestyle treats from over 500 global brands and with full editorial content. When I was told that the theme this month was 'Good Enough...

Today I celebrate one year since I launched Mondomulia and published my first blog post. I wanted to create a personal space to share my photos of food and restaurants, share my recipes and my reviews. I didn't know how to do it, but as the months passed,...

The list of recipes that I want to make has grown so much over the past four months, but luckily the Christmas holidays have been the perfect occasion to do some baking. I used a recipe from Shutterbean blog to make Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins. I like to...

As a Valentine's Day treat, I have decided to share with you some photos of my mehendi, taken by photographer Anil Fernandes during our wedding in Mumbai last November. The mehendi is one of the ceremonies that the bride and the groom take part to during...

Happy New Year! I hope you all celebrated the arrival of the new year with the people you love and doing whatever makes you happy. In my case, that was having dinner with my husband in our new home, then baking chocolate brownies with my new Kenwood Chef...

In my post about Terrone Coffee Pop-Up, I mentioned that I have been baking cakes and biscuits to sell at the café. I made my favourite Carrot Cake and Chocolate Chip & Minstrels Cookies, which I blogged about last week. I also made Oat and Spelt 'Digestive'...

Last month I found by chance a copy of The Telegraph magazine left in the tube, I picked it up and flicked through the pages until I saw food photos that caught my attention. The article was about Deliciously Ella, a "blogger inspiring healthy eating"....

Chobani UK has launched a competition, CHOBrunch, to win a full weekend pass to Food Blogger Connect. I am taking part with this recipe for Lemon Yogurt and Cherry Cake. I love baking with fat-free Chobani yogurt, it's a healthy replacement for cream...

After three years of baking regularly and two years of blogging about it, this winter I have finally attended my first Band of Bakers event! I was frightened and thought I wouldn't be good enough to share my cakes with other bakers, but now I am glad...
