Last month I was invited to The Skyroom, a rooftop venue near London Bridge, to try the Mumma Schnitzel chicken sandwich. Mumma Schnitzel is a new street food trader, founded by Matthew Walsh and Hollie Scrancher. While travelling the world together,...

Last weekend was my first weekend at home after a month, so I was eager to spend some time in my kitchen and bake again. It's too hot in London to keep the oven on for long (I never thought I'd say this!), so I chose simple and quick recipes. On Friday...

Ever since trying this Carrot Cake at Sabrina Ghayour's Arabesque Supperclub, I have been meaning to make it at home. It took me a while to get round to it, but finally I made the cake last month, using almonds and pistachios I bought in Dubai (dried...

One of my resolutions for 2014 is to use my cookbooks more often. I am so used to looking up recipes online (using Pinterest, Foodgawker or my favourite food blogs) that I forget to check my books first, which is a shame as I have some amazing ones at...

I know what you are thinking, who needs another pumpkin recipe? But hear me out first. These pumpkin blondies are one of the best thing I have ever baked! I have become seriously addicted to them, I had to force myself to give them away (to my husband...

We are nearly there, the most joyful day of the year is upon us! Since coming back from New Zealand, I've been in full-on Christmas mode, decorating our home, buying gifts and baking treats for my family! Last year my husband and I spent Christmas alone...

Hello from Tuscany! Today is my last day in this beautiful region, so I decided to make the most of the kitchen at our Tuscany Now holiday villa by preparing a chickpea cake. Cecina, also known as farinata and socca, is a typical food of the coastal areas...

I am officially on holiday for a whole week, in beautiful Tuscany! The evening before leaving London I realized I had a pot of Chobani yogurt in my fridge, nearing expiry date. I considered taking it to Italy, but I guessed it would probably be confiscated...

While we were on holiday in Tuscany, my brother celebrated his 36th birthday. Our family tradition is to always have the same cake at our birthdays, a layered cake with light sponge biscuits dipped in coffee, custard cream and whipped cream (I used the...

I wonder why I don't make granola more often! It is so easy to make and so much better than store bought ones. Moreover, you know exactly what goes into the jar and you can choose the best ingredients. And of course: no artificial flavourings, colourings...

Hi! I am sharing a quick post today with an easy recipe I tried on Monday. It was a bank holiday here in the UK, so I had a bit of time on my hands to bake. I had leftover egg whites from the cheesecake I baked for Blog'n'Bake (I always end up throwing...

Yesterday was a beautiful sunny day here in London, the perfect weather for a photo-walk with Charlotte, Sam and Hannah. We met for brunch at Ozone Coffee, to fuel up with caffeine and food. I had filter coffee, Honduras El Cedral 2012 COE, and Buttermilk...

Hello, are you all ready for the Easter weekend (aka the time of the year when it is socially acceptable to eat chocolate at every meal)? I am about to spend four days in Scotland with my husband: we will fly to Glasgow tomorrow and hire a car for a mini...

Sometimes all you need is a slice of simple, delicate, warm yogurt cake! Today I was craving a slice of cake and I just had to bake this! ;) It reminds of home, of being a kid and baking with my mum, of having an afternoon snack (merenda) with a slice...

Hello! Just a quick post today to share a few photos from a Caffeine Magazine photoshoot I did last month. I was asked to photograph coffee cocktails for a feature written by Chloe (Faerietale Foodie). We gathered at Protein where Chloe, Rob (DunneFrankowski),...

I have spent the past twelve months admiring wedding photography blogs, creating wedding-related boards on Pinterest and peeking at photos of strangers tying the knot. Now it is my turn to share a "wedding photostory" and become the subject of attention!...

When I moved to London in 2006, I worked as an intern for a film company and one of the perks of the job was going to office in one of the coolest buildings in the city: The Tea Building. From the 6th floor boardroom I could see Shoreditch, Bishopsgate...

Ozone Coffee Roasters opened its doors in London in March and shortly after I was there to taste the coffee and write a review for Mondomulia. I loved the space, service, food and coffee and have been a regular customer ever since. On one occasion, I...

First of all, sorry for the lack on posts in the past week. I usually update my blog every few days, but with 5 weeks to go to my wedding day, I fear Mondomulia is going to have to lose priority for a short while! :( Today I have a travel post for you!...

On the last weekend of September, Street Feast and Tweat Up hosted the fourth annual British Street Food Awards. It was the last of summer events at Dalston Yard so, to make the party special, they also hosted an International street food festival (#StreetFoodEurope),...

In September I had the pleasure to attend a fantastic evening of wine tasting and Japanese food pairing. The event was organized by R&R to promote Bordeaux Wines. It was hosted at the home of Luiz Hara, aka The London Foodie, a London-based chef renowned...

Last week was Chocolate Week and, as part of the celebrations, French chocolatier La Maison du Chocolat launched an exclusive gastronomic experience at The Balcon. Housed in Sofitel Hotel St James, Le Balcon is a French brasserie in the centre of historical...

Two years ago I started my current job at an advertising agency in Farringdon. When I told my old manager that I was moving, one of the things he said to me about was: "If you are in Farringdon, you must have lunch at Pho!". So I discovered Pho, which...

Put together Aperol Spritz, wood-oven pizza, a rooftop and you will get one of the coolest events in London this summer: the Forza Win Supperclub by Pizza Pilgrims. I have already written about the Pizza Pilgrims here when I attended their tasting events...

One of the many things that I did this year, and never thought I would, was starting to work as a trader at farmers' markets. As a food blogger, I have explored many food markets around London, spending Saturday mornings chatting to producers and trying...
