Easter in Malta must include a ‘figolla’
Easter in Malta would not be the same without feasting on a ‘figolla’. Sandra and Simone look forward to their annual tradition like many households all over the Maltese islands.
Baking away like a Busy Bee
Malta celebrates the feast of St. Joseph every year on 19 March. With it people look forward to one particular one-off pastry. Busy Bee is one of Malta’s established pastry kitchens that have kept the tradition alive for years.
Here Comes the ‘Bigilla’ Van
Peter is not your typical door-to-door salesman. He is doing his part to keep an old Maltese tradition alive. Selling our traditional ‘bigilla’ from the back of his food cart.
Apple & Strawberry Muffins
On Valentine’s we baked these muffins as a treat. Moist and wholesome, these muffins are perfect in the morning, yet indulging for afternoon tea.
Stock up on some artichokes
Artichokes are currently in season and as the price is right find the time to preserve some to enjoy later this year.
Freshly Made Every Day

12 days of Cookbooks
We love cookbooks! With Christmas around the corner we decided to make a quick pick from our current favourites to help spur some gift shopping ideas.
Pruning thy olive tree
We visit an olive grove in Rabat to enjoy the dedication of Joe and Andreana. Olives are a common kitchen pantry item all over the Mediterranean.
From soil to vine, meeting a Maltese vigneron
We visit the outskirts of Rabat for an inspiring meeting with Carmel Cortis. We visit his vineyard enjoying the shelter of the majestic Mdina bastions.
