Low Fodmap Sausage Rolls

I have been looking forward to sharing the recipe for these Low Fodmap Sausage Rolls with you for a while now.

Low Fodmap Mandarin Curd Shortbread Cookies

Shortbread is a huge favourite of mine and these Low Fodmap Mandarin Curd Shortbread Cookies are simply amazing. Pin It

Low Fodmap Mandarin Curd

Since moving to Australia, I have become a big fan of curd. You see, it’s not an Italian thing at all, so I did not grow up eating it on scones with my afternoon tea. Pin It

Low Fodmap Macadamia Cardamom Shortbread

After sharing with you my Gluten-free Chocolate Lavender Shortbread last week, today I am back with yet another delicious recipe for tender cookies: Low Fodmap Macadamia Cardamom Shortbread. These too are both low fodmap and gluten-free, because everyone deserves a treat this Holiday season. Pin It

Low Fodmap Pumpkin Pancakes

Sometimes I like to have pancakes for breakfast, especially on weekends, when breakfasts often turn into brunches! These Low Fodmap Pumpkin Pancakes are so good! Pin It

Low Fodmap Soft Ginger Cookies

Can you believe that Christmas is just a little over a month away? I am already starting to feel like baking cookies! And these Low Fodmap Soft Ginger Cookies are exactly what I need! Pin It

Low Fodmap Orange Quinoa Loaf

I love to have something sweet with my afternoon tea. I discovered this Low Fodmap Orange Quinoa Loaf a couple of months ago, and I liked it so much, that I made it many times ever since. Pin It

Garlic Scallops

After sharing with you my recipe for Pasta with Scallops and Lobster Oil, I am back with another recipe featuring scallops: Garlic Scallops. Pin It

Papaya Banana Bread

Today I am going to share with you the recipe for Papaya Banana Bread. This is a delicious breakfast treat and a great alternative to the more traditional banana bread recipes that you can find on my site. Pin It

Dairy-free Chocolate Muffins

I love muffins, especially for breakfast. I haven’t grown up eating them, as in Italy they are not something you would find easily when I was little. Italians usually have coffee or cappuccino with a croissant for breakfast, especially when eating out. Pin It

Rissoles

Today’s recipe is all about Australia, as I am sharing with you how to make Rissoles. Rissoles are basically Australian beef and vegetable patties that are pan-fried and served with Ketchup (or “tomato sauce” as we say here). Pin It

Vegan Apple Spice Cake

As you may know, I have recently discovered that I am lactose intolerant. That means that I have to also find new ways to satisfy my sweet tooth, so I am always on the lookout for recipes that do not include dairy. Good vegan recipes, like this Vegan Apple Spice Cake, are always great, as…

Vegan Wholemeal Banana Bread

If you follow Manu’s Menu more or less regularly, you may know that I have recently found out that I am lactose intolerant. Don’t worry, I will still be publishing “normal” recipes, but I will also start experimenting with dairy-free (or lactose-free) recipes. This Vegan Wholemeal Banana Bread is one of the first attempts at…

Pork Patties with Apples

I just recently discovered this recipe and the family is already hooked! These Pork Patties with Apples are an absolute treat… let me just tell you that the patties are made with bacon. Need I say more? Besides, the combination of pork, apples, and sage is a classic that never fails and one of my…

Roast Pork and Stuffing

Finally I get to share with you this amazing Roast Pork and Stuffing recipe! I made this for Christmas Eve and I have been meaning to share it ever since! I was extremely happy with how it came out. Italians do not usually make crackling, so this was my first attempt ever and I am…

Cinnamon Coconut Loaf

I love coffee cakes or sweet loaves. It’s not something Italian – actually, it’s not Italian at all – but I really enjoy a slice of sweet bread for breakfast or with my cup of tea in the afternoon. This Cinnamon Coconut Loaf is moist, fluffy and airy and with a delicious cinnamon flavour. The…

Ricotta Pancakes with Honey Butter

Autumn holidays are now over here in Sydney, but we had some fun in the past couple of weeks! One of the days, we decided to have brunch at home. My kids love pancakes. My eldest daughter calls herself the “pancake monster”, so you get the point. Truth is, I rarely make pancakes at home,…

Crumbed Barramundi

The first time I visited London, back in the 80’s, I was very young and a really fussy eater. That said, I remember falling in love with “fish & chips”. Sure, Italians eat a lot of fish, but for some reason the English one tasted different. Besides, anything served with chips tastes better to a…

Honeycomb

Tomorrow we celebrate Australia Day, the official National Day of Australia. The 26th of January, in fact, marks the anniversary of the 1788 arrival of the First Fleet of British Ships at Port Jackson, New South Wales. Nowadays, the celebrations reflect our diverse society and are marked by community and family events. It is a…

Spiced Potato Wedges with Easy Sweet Chilli Sauce

It is time again for the “Secret recipe club” reveal! I am sure you all know what the club is about, but for the few of you who still don’t know about it, here goes a brief explanation. It is a great concept… each month you are assigned a participating food blogger to make a…
