I share recipes passed down through generations of my Italian family, culinary influences from living in Canada for 30 years, as well as new dishes I'm discovering since moving to the United Kingdom!
Whether you're after quick and easy meals, making essentials from scratch, baking sourdough bread or traditional Italian desserts, you'll find it here! I also enjoy sharing recipes from around the world, vegan/vegetarian dishes, and my own recipes!

I would love to make my own chocolate sauce way better than buying! Easy too! Could just eat it on its own too 😺😺😺lots of things you could use that to top thank you! ❤️🐈⬛
Hi Daniella. When you say 'Hi everyone' I wave at the screen. And what can make the ultimate hot chocolate fudge brownie sundae? Your chocolate fudge recipe would be ideal. I love choc-fudge on a banana split. It's also great for dipping churros in. I wonder how a milk cappuccino would taste with a teaspoon of your fudge stired in to it 🤔🤤 Something to ponder. Thanks for another great recipe. Cheers 👍😀😸😻
Yummy and I agree over vanilla ice cream....have a great week.
A reason to use my already made golden syrup....Which the whole family thinks is better than store bought and it's way less expensive. Thank You for sharing
Loved the little Blaaaaaaaaack Caaaaaaaaaaat on your arm, making another cameo!
Ohhhh, baby!
Here’s my really easy homemade golden syrup recipe! kzread.info/dash/bejne/Y52MxZJ8cpragqg.html 😻
Yay! I’m first to comment! Your thumbnail grabbed my attention! Nothing better on vanilla ice cream!! I like that your recipe uses chocolate pieces instead of cocoa powder. Looks so rich and fudgy!!
Yay!! It’s so good, Karen, that I even ate it just off the spoon!! 🤣🤣🤣
@@BlackCatKitchen I would be too!!
The amount of annoyance I had when she put the honey in one bowl just to move it into a mixing bowl of the same size! At least I know how to make it now
Thanks for your comment, and for watching my video! It annoyed me a little bit in the process (I had to do more washing up! 😹), but it can be helpful for some people to see everything in it’s place before starting a recipe! I hope you enjoy the honey! Looking forward to seeing you in the comments again soon!! 💖😻
Ohh I love these!
daft background music .why would you put salt in honey ..
This cake looks so amazing Dani!! I think this is a combo made in Heaven! I love Ricotta cheese adds so much moisture and texture to a cake like this! I will for sure be making this at some point!!
Can i make it without milk? I have no money. I can use water (free) and lemon (free-from my neighbour's garden😅)
If you wanted to make lemon popsicles without condensed milk, I’d recommend cooking a simple syrup that’s one part water to one part sugar, then add this to your lemon juice. Give it a taste, as you might need to water it down. If you made it without any sweetener (sugar or condensed milk), it would be incredibly sour! However, I do have a cheap homemade condensed milk recipe that you can find here! kzread.info/dash/bejne/q3ymm6ttoK7KfJs.htmlsi=9M9COCgEmfJ0bCSb Hope that helps!! 💖😻
@@BlackCatKitchen you are truly amazing ❤
@@bartycrouchjr.8831 - You're so welcome!! 😻
So I tried this recipe at home and I have a few comments. The overall taste is amazing but the crust was way too crumbly (my opinion + 4 other people). Is it supposed to be like that? I would easily double the amount of butter in the crust in order to make it more solid. I had trouble serving the pie because of the crust. The toffee was perfect, nothing more to say! I reduced the quantity of crust and toffee for my tart tray because even though it is the same diameter as the one in video, mine is shallower. This type of tart tray works amazingly and I had no problem removing it. The cream of tartar is an amazing ingredient for the whipped cream. It's been more than 12 hours since I made it, and the pie spend some time outside the fridge but the whipped cream still holds! Finally, I prepared the crust and toffee the day before and kept it in the fridge (already in the tart tray). I added the bananas and whipped cream an hour before the arrival of guests. My husband said that it is a very balanced desert and the taste of each layer is blending well with the others. Good recipe in general.
I usually err on the side of caution with using too much butter for an unbaked recipe, as too much butter can result in a greasy base. That said, you could always try adding a bit more butter next time! I've found the addition of the melted chocolate helped bind everything together. I'm so glad you liked my whipped cream hack with the cream of tartar, and that you all enjoyed the pie!! I really appreciate you leaving your comment with feedback! Thank you so much! 💖😻
These are the BEST cookies I ever made! Thank you for this PERFECT recipe! ❤🫠😘
You are so welcome! I'm so glad you liked my recipe!! 🍪💖😻
Fantastic recipe for summer!! Thank you! ❤️🐈⬛
Thanks Carol! I eat this all summer long! Hope you love it! Have a great weekend! 💖🐈⬛😻
I love pasta & peas 😋Thanks for sharing! Also, new subbie here 😊
It's such a wonderful combination, and such a refreshing summer pasta dish! Thanks so much for joining me! I really appreciate it! 💖😻
Very nice! I wonder if this could be done with the Chinese style eggplant? I like the sausage version of course!
Yes, absolutely! Chinese style eggplant would work really well in this recipe! I'm trying to grow some in my garden this year, as it's really difficult to find Chinese style eggplant where I live! Have a great weekend, Paulie! 💖😻
@@BlackCatKitchen The Little Lady grows it here since being back in Michigan. Thanks!
Hi Daniella. Can I drink it cold or it has to be hot ?
It's usually served warm or at room temperature, but you can also chill it in the fridge and enjoy it cold, or you can even freeze it for a zabaglione semifreddo! Let me know which way you choose! 💖😻
You're the best in this recipes and I really ask you to do a recipe in your style about brownie cookies, especially the ones with dairy milk chocolate. That would be amazing. I did a lot of those recipes found on the internet but they always don't come out like in the recipe, even doing all the steps. Thank you again for your help in every of your dessert recipes. Keep doing like this. I think you're a reference for italians like me living in italy for doing american cookies and cakes.
Thank you so much! Your comment really made me smile!! I'll do some testing on a brownie cookie recipe that uses dairy milk chocolate. Be sure to stick around and I'll likely post a baking recipe like this in the autumn, when it's cooler outside! Ci vediamo! 💖🐈⬛😻
I was literally just wondering what to do with the zucchini in my fridge! Definitely trying this for supper~
Let me know what you think! Which filling is your favourite? I hope you have a lovely weekend!! 💖🐈⬛😻
Stuffed Zooks.. Yum. I've had the chow mein mince stuffed peppers before, but not the sausage, tuna and cheesy stuffed zucchin. These I'd like to try the three ways, especially the sausage They look delicious. Thanks for the recipes. Cheers Daniella 👍🤤😀😸😻
Stuffed zooks made me giggle! The great thing about this recipe, is that you can customise this recipe to any dietary needs or flavour preferences! Let me know if you try any (or all!) of the 3! Thanks so much, John! I hope you have a lovely weekend! 💖🐈⬛😻
I really like this video. The recipes look delicious, and I love the presentation. I can't wait to try them out. In fact, I think I'll start with the baked stuffed zucchini. I'll let you know how it goes.👍👍
Please do let me know how you get on! I'd love to hear what you think of my recipe! I hope you have a lovely weekend! 💖🐈⬛😻
OMG I have to try these!!
Yes!!! 🐈⬛💖
Oooooooo! That looks delicious! Blaaaaaaaaaack Caaaaaaaaaaaat!
Maaaaaaaaaaple Coooooooooook!! 💖🐈⬛😻
Looks delicious. I really think I will try that sausage recipe. Thanks for sharing ❤
You're so welcome! I hope you enjoy them! Have a lovely weekend! 💖🐈⬛😻
I think I’d like the sausage zucchini the most, but I want to try the tuna one for sure. Thx Dani for sharing this recipee
Let me know what you think, and if you make both, tell me which is your favourite! 💖😻
Nice procedure, not too battery. Thanks
Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it! 💖😻
hi! would using salted butter affect this recipe in any way?
I’ve made it with salted butter many times. Just reduce or omit the salt in the recipe, depending on how salty your butter is. Sometimes we just need cookies, and don’t have the time to get unsalted butter!! 😻😻
Thank you for taking the mystery out of this! Great tips too! So easy! ❤️🐈⬛
You are so welcome! I hope this recipe comes in useful! 🐾🖤😻
Great idea. 👌🙋♀
Thanks Anita!! 🐾🖤😻
My Italian sister-in-law (verbally) gave me a very similar recipe several years ago and I completely forgot all about it 🤦🏻♀️ I remember it being so good and yet simply prepared. Thank you for reminding me about it and for a recipe. Ciao 🫛 🍄🟫🧅😋
That's a big reason why I started this channel! So many Italian recipes are handed down verbally, or written down without instructions, so I'm making it my mission to preserve my family's recipes digitally! I'm so excited that you have this recipe back in your life! It's one of my favourites!! I hope you have a lovely weekend!! 💖🐈⬛😻
ah I can't wait to try this. I also loved the breakfast baked sweets in Tuscany. Recently Ive made a gorgeous almond cake, thats more ground almonds than anything else it tastes divine has 225g ground almonds (I use whole almonds, soak remove skin, dry and grind -much cheaper and fresher than the store bought ground almonds, has only a little flour , butter, oil and lots of whole eggs..its's so tasty im in heaven eating so I can't wait to try this version of the Almond cake with ricotta cheese. Thanks
Wow! That sounds like a labour of love! I bet the end result is absolutely spectacular! I hope you like my version! I could barely keep it in the house past breakfast, it was devoured so quickly! Let me know what you think if you do try this! I hope you have a lovely weekend! 💖🐈⬛😻
Thanks this is great simple video! I just bought 250g raspberries at a supermarket plus jam preserving jars (as i violent remember if I had any?!) I bought some gorgeous raspberry jam off a fram in uk and after that no matter how expensive the jam/preserve is in the supermarket or how much fruit it still doesn't taste as good a she one I bought at a farm so I've decided make my own jam! Ill report back how it goes. Thanks P.S. Off topic you have such lovely healthy looking skin and happy smile.
Awww! Thank you! Let me know how it goes! I hope it lives up to the jam you bought from the farm in the UK!! 💖🐈⬛😻
I found this and decided to try it .... Thank you so much ,way better than store bought ...
Thank you so much for letting me know! I'm so glad it turned out well for you! Hopefully cheaper than store bought too! Have a lovely weekend! 💖🐈⬛😻
Can this be left on room temperature please let me know how long for
You can leave this whipped butter at room temperature for no more than 24 hours. If it's a particularly warm day, I wouldn't leave it out for much longer than 12 hours. It's really best stored in the fridge. Let me know if you make this and have a lovely weekend!! 💖🐈⬛😻
@@BlackCatKitchen yes I made it so fluffy and perfect thank you 🤩
Some folks get confused with smoke point, and flash point,...like The Little Lady for instance. Great how to do video my Culinary Sister!
Things I never knew about clrified butter: it doesn’t need to be refrigerated and it’s pretty easy to make! Thanks for this video, Dani!!
You are so welcome, TAPG! I hope you have a lovely weekend! 💖🐈⬛😻
Love that this extends the life of the butter. Great multipurpose option!
I love clarified Butter. In German it is Butterschmalz 🤤
That's what I'm calling it from now on!! 😹💖
