Celebrity Maltese Chefs and Recipe Enthusiasts

Mill-Kcina ta' Pawlina
Hello, I am Pauline, and some years ago I created a page on facebook ‘ Mill-kcina ta’ Pawlina’ to share my culinary skills with everyone. I have been cooking from a young age, and as much as I like Maltese cooking and traditional dishes, I also love to create new original recipes, using different ingredients, and experimenting with taste.
Easy, quick, and nutritious, and having fun whilst cooking, that is my motto, so I hope that you will love to try out my recipes ...cheers!
