I always thought that some of the most friendly people I’ve met are the Irish and the Australian, after the Maltese of course . In some way or another I was lucky to work with people coming from both countries and my experiences were positive and fun. Some weeks ago, Berenice, a Maltese friend of [...]

Choosing a different original dish each time you cook is practically impossible. Although I believe that we should put ourselves in a position to get inspired rather than wait for it to happen (one day, one time), there are days when we feel we may perform better than usual…..and this happens to us when we [...]

Collaborating with others may be a difficult process for some. It took less than 15 minutes to understand that we may work with Ed. Sharing the same enogastronomical passion definitely helped us break the ice, but more than anything else, it was sharing the same idea of the importance of collaboration that allowed us to [...]

Apart from the classical season during October and November, Tartufo (Bianchetto in this case) is also found between January and April. Although it is less prestigious and hence less expensive it is still sought after by many. Whilst shopping at The White Sheep in Gzira 3 weeks ago, I was asked whether I wanted some [...]

For many years I always knew Ravioli to be filled with Ricotta and accompanied with a tomato sauce. My mother used to buy “Ravjul” from this place close to home and I would gladly go through 12 of them when they were well sized. After I started experimenting in the kitchen, say 5-6 years ago, [...]

When someone starts speaking about his business I get different reactions, and these are usually based on how excited and engaged the person in front of me is. Although by nature there are sectors that intrigue me more than others, I am usually hooked by those people that are totally absorbed by what they are [...]

Making client presentations is an exciting process. This Thursday I went to present Raw Biscuits to an important player in one of the retail sectors. The presentation went well and I got to know some interesting people. It fascinates me how people may connect so quickly with others if all are sharing the same philosophy. [...]

Bread is a staple food that invokes our senses very strongly. In the Mediterranean, and Malta in particular, we are exceptionally proud of our bread and constantly claim that we are the best at making and baking it. What’s for sure is that the genuine Mediterranean bakers throw in a lot of passion into this [...]

What is it that makes us so interested in understanding how our clients’ markets work, or what the consumer is really thinking before he purchases (or not) one of our client’s products? Most of the times our clients are able to identify their consumers’ needs relatively easily but not always is it possible to convert [...]

Many times companies find themselves in the midst of executing without enough time to look at things from above. Looking back, one then feels he or she missed out on something important, or feels it is too late to go back and start all over. This results in a waste of money, time and missed [...]

Having too many ingredients in your recipe may be as bad as having too little. It is hard finding the right balance. The potency of some ingredients may overcome the subtlety of others resulting in a baked product that doesn’t tantalise the taste buds of your consumer. Excuse the metaphorical speak but we can’t help [...]

We are a tin of dreamers that is inspired by most of the things around us. As challenging as it might get, we are constantly trying to look at things out of the biscuit tin. Getting creative also means going a bit crazy, challenging a cliché and then end up supporting it. The objective is [...]

It is hard to understand why some chefs put together an exaggerated amount of precious ingredients together and end up camouflaging each ingredient’s characteristics. Well, Raw Biscuits surely prefers the Mediterranean cuisine. Fresh ingredients, authentic taste, simplicity and very healthy. Simplicity is an art that is not easy to implement. When applied well though, it [...]
