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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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…

Creamy Pumpkin Soup

Creamy Pumpkin Soup

Come September and I start craving warm comforting food. It does not matter that we are in the middle of spring and the days are getting longer here in Australia. I have been living here for almost 10 years, but I think my mind will never get used to the reverse seasons. So, to satisfy…

Melting Moments with Passion fruit Buttercream

Melting Moments with Passion fruit Buttercream

After a very Italian recipe, today I am back with something from my new country.  I have discovered these amazing cookies only recently and I simply adore them.  Melting Moments do really melt in your mouth, the moment you take a bite!  They are similar to shortbread, but they are even more buttery and delicate. …

Super Bowl Roundup

Super Bowl Roundup

Today’s post is not about 1 recipe. As Super Bowl is approaching, I thought to make a list of the best party food MsM has to offer.   Being Italian, I do not follow football… but I enjoy some good soccer.  And a good spread during a game!  In this post I am going to give…

Lime and Macadamia Nut Bark

Lime and Macadamia Nut Bark

Can you believe that I had never made chocolate bark before??  I know, so weird, especially considering that I am a chocoholic!  In my defence, I must say that it is not something we usually make in Italy.  For Christmas, we mostly make nougat.  But bark is so good, so versatile and, let’s face it,…

Sticky Date Pudding with Butterscotch Sauce

Sticky Date Pudding with Butterscotch Sauce

Sticky Date Pudding is the way Australians refer to he British Sticky Toffee Pudding.  Regardless of the name, it is an amazingly delicious dessert.  It is served everywhere in Australia, from top restaurants (in more or less revised versions) to the local pubs.  Pin It
