Moving to a new city can be an intimidating experience for anyone, especially if your new city is one as big and notoriously unfriendly as London (a myth, bythe way). It’s easy to opt to stay indoors, or limit yourself to tourist spots, or even rely on your friends for entertainment. But what if you [...]

This edition of Malteser’s Kitchen is a special one for carnival, which is celebrated this weekend in Malta. These traditional carnival sweets adorn plenty of shop windows in Malta around this time of year and almost look too good too eat. Almost. Today’s post is by Miriam, who runs a wonderful food blog here. Photos [...]

  The lovely Sarah Von recently made a list of her favourite foods and it inspired me to do the very same. I am from the Mediterranean, and we Meds love our food. We’re fairly serious about it. Back in Malta, most of our social gatherings revolve around food: Sunday roast; summer barbecues; fenkati (where [...]

I am a sucker for trying new things. It all started when I first discovered sushi. Before, the idea of it used to put me off. Then, one day, two friends of mine (and self-confessed sushi-holics) took me with them to try it. …I am now hooked on the stuff. Since then, whenever I get [...]

This is the first in a new series on my blog called ‘A Malteser’s Kitchen’, where I ask Maltese culinary bloggers to share their versions of traditional Maltese recipes. The first in the series is by the lovely Miriam.   Pulpetti There’s so much joy in recreating traditional recipes, especially the ones most of us [...]

All my friends will tell you I am not a morning person. I hate waking up early because when I don’t have a schedule to stick to, I become completely nocturnal. I find I work better at night so if I’m free to set my own timetable I’m often up till 5am. But because of [...]

Yesterday, I met my uncle for what was meant to be a light, healthy lunch. Then this happened:       In case you’re wondering, that is a char-grilled chicken breast with mixed salad leaves, roasted red peppers, grilled onions, Monterey Jack cheese and BBQ sauce on a soft burger bun. We had that at [...]
