Seasonal Fava Bean and Mushroom Pasta
April is known for its fava bean (ful) season. Such a vibrant and nutritious legume, can be used for several dishes like kusksu, or maybe eaten fresh alongside some traditional crusty Maltese sourdough with tomato paste (heaven).

Time to start your Christmas preparations.
My favourite Christmas sweets are mince pies. There was a time when I used to buy these ready made, both local or foreign. I now have more time on my hands, so in recent years have started to make them from scratch. This way, I know that they are completely vegan and contain no palm oil, which I try to avoid unless it comes from sustainable sources.
