Everything you need to know about pastizzi, Malta’s favourite snack

Walk past any village bar or hole-in-the-wall snack shop in Malta and you'll catch the smell before you see them: hot pastry, a faint tang of cheese, something faintly spiced. Pastizzi (the singular is pastizz) are small, diamond-shaped savoury pastries, and they are as central to daily life here as coffee is in Italy. If you're visiting Malta and you haven't eaten one yet, that's the first thing to fix....

From flaky dough to curried peas, discover the history, flavours, and making of pastizzi - Malta's beloved street food, found on every corner of the island.

As for decor in our 2nd floor apartment lovingly named Morina, we went for a mix of old and new. Our grandfather left us some unusual pieces, and we also scavenged this retro coffee table from a lovely couple in Pietà who no longer needed it. The tiles came with the place - I like to think whoever chose them wanted the blue sky to extend into the apartment. Some pieces were kindly donated by family, and others came from my own mother's trips to the village antique sale.
