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…
Pumpkin Jam
Have you ever had Pumpkin Jam? I personally love it and I also love the fact that it is really easy to make. This version also has a hint of freshly grated ginger to it, and I think it works really well with the pumpkin flavour. You can use this jam to make tarts, pies,…
Coconut Banana Cookies
I don’t know about you, but I always seem to buy more bananas than I need! So I am always looking at ways to use them up before they get spoilt! This time, I came up with these Coconut Banana Cookies. They are also quite healthy, as there is no dairy, no butter, and no…
Pineapple Vanilla Jam
The first time I had this delicious Pineapple Vanilla Jam I was in Tahiti. The islands abound in both pineapples and vanilla, so to them is a normal combination. However, to my Italian taste buds it wasn’t and I was literally blown away but how good these two flavours were together! This jam has become…
Cardamom Rum Banana Bread
I must admit I am not big on breakfast. Italians, in general, don’t have heavy breakfasts. We usually havbreakfastse (espresso) and cookies or a croissant. But I do make an exception for a slice of good banana bread! This Cardamom Rum Banana Bread has quickly become one of my favourites. It tastes delicious, and it…
Wholemeal Honey Cookies
These Wholemeal Honey Cookies are very easy to make and they are a healthier option for your kids. They taste delicious… don’t you love sweets made with honey? I do! I love the taste honey gives to these cookies. They are great both for breakfast and tea time. They are the perfect recipe for when…

And what better way to enjoy this delightful combination of flavours than in a refreshing milkshake? Try this recipe and let me know…
Sweet Yogurt Braids
During my kids’ winter holidays, I made these Sweet Yogurt Braids to have as a snack. They are healthy and taste delicious. And the best part? The girls loved them! I love sweet breads, don’t you? And these are particularly tasty and they also look cute, which is always a plus, especially for the kids….
Homemade Peach Jam
Sweet, soft peaches turn into a golden jam that adds brightness to breakfast and desserts. Homemade Peach Jam is simple to make and brings back the taste of long summer days. Peach Jam has always been a favourite of mine. If you’ve read my Apricot Jam Crostata recipe, you may remember that I was complaining…
Chocolate Chip Buns
My kids love chocolate. I think most kids do, wouldn’t you agree? I had some chocolate chips I wanted to get rid of in my pantry, so I thought of making these Chocolate Chip Buns. They are perfect for breakfast, and even more so to give to kids to eat at school. I am always…
Dolci Pellegrino
Today I will share with you the recipe for Dolci Pellegrino, traditional lemon flavoured cookies from the city of Naples. Apparently these cookies, like many other Neapolitan and Sicilian sweets, were created by the nuns of a convent. These nuns were also helping out at the Pellegrini Hospital (thus the name) and would make these…
Nutella Dorayaki
If you follow me on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter you will know that I have been travelling through Japan! Unfortunately, we are now back home and trying to get readjusted to our usual routine. I will be sharing the details of my my trip as soon as I finish to sort out all the photos…
Biscotti della Tresca
I am very happy about today’s post. If you follow Manu’s Menu, you will know that this blog is all about authentic Italian food. I do share many modern Italian recipes, but what makes me really happy is the possibility to share more traditional not so famous recipes, and above all, regional recipes. Italian food…
Leftover Buttercream Cookies
Got a bowl of buttercream sitting in the fridge? Don’t let it go to waste. These soft, buttery Leftover Buttercream Cookies make the most of every bit — simple, quick, and incredibly good. I really love today’s recipe for Leftover Buttercream Cookies. As you know, I hate wasting food, and I’m always excited about recipes…
Blueberry Lavender Syrup
I love today’s recipe. I am a huge fan of using edible flowers in cooking, especially in desserts and this Blueberry Lavender Syrup is a must-try recipe. It is very easy to make and the lavender adds a special touch to the (already delicious) blueberry syrup. Besides, I love how versatile this syrup is. You…
Pineapple Strawberry Apple Smoothie
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas! We have eaten a lot, as usual, so today I am back with something light and healthy! I love smoothies and this Pineapple Strawberry Apple Smoothie is amazing. I love the flavour combination and I think pineapple makes for a great addition, especially in winter, as it adds…
Macine Cookies
Italians are not big on breakfast. Traditionally, we mainly have 2 kinds of breakfast and both of them are quite light (compared to the traditional full American breakfast with bacon and eggs): the one we have outside (al bar – at a café) and the one we have at home. At a café we usually…
Coffee Sables
I really love to bake cookies, especially this time of year. Yes, I know it’s hot in Australia and we do not get all the White Christmas vibes people in the Northern Hemisphere get right now, but I can still switch my oven own thanks to my air-con! So, I don’t give up baking cookies!…
Chestnut Bread Rolls
I love baking bread at home and what I like the most is experimenting with different flours and flavour combinations (remember my Spelt and Hazelnut Bread?). My absolute favourite bread still remains my quick Ciabatta, but these Chestnut Bread Rolls are a must-try addition to your holiday menu. Italians often use chestnuts in our cooking,…
Strawberry Milk
My daughters love Strawberry Milk. They still call it “pink milk” like when they were little and it is their favourite drink. As strawberries are in season here in Australia, I thought of making it at home. The result was amazing so, even though this is quite a simple recipe, I thought I should share…
Strawberry Granita
The weather here is getting warmer and strawberries are in season, sweet and full of flavour! So I didn’t think twice and took my ice cream machine out to make this easy and delicious Strawberry Granita! Italians are famous for their frozen treats and we often have granita for breakfast. Make sure to serve this strawberry…
Sweet Taralli
Today I will share with you the recipe for Sweet Taralli. Taralli are traditional cookies from the South of Italy, especially Apulia. They can be sweet, like in this case, or savoury (check out my recipe for savoury Taralli here). Their texture is similar to pretzels and the sweet version is still not very sweet…
Wholemeal Chapati
When I had to undergo surgery a couple of months ago, my mother in law came to stay with us to help out with the kids and spend some time with us. I was so happy she was able to come. It was great to have some company and to have someone to talk with…
Copycat Starbucks Banana Nut Bread
I don’t know about you, but I always have ripe bananas on my bench top! My kids have this annoying habit of insisting that I buy bananas for them and then they don’t want to eat them. And I never learn… Anyhow, thank God for banana bread! I really like having a slice of it…
Vietnamese Iced Coffee
Vietnamese Iced Coffee, or Cà phê đá, is a traditional Vietnamese coffee recipe. Coffee was introduced in Vietnam during the French rule and it quickly became a strong exporter of coffee. Cà phê đá is traditionally made using coarsely ground dark roast coffee individually brewed with a small metal French drip filter, mixed with condensed…
Eggless Chocolate Cake
Recently we celebrated my eldest daughter’s 9th birthday. We usually have a party at our place and I take care of the food (remember the Frozen theme?), but this year we had to do something a bit different. Due to my recent surgery, I was not able to organise the usual spread of food, so…
Cherry Financiers
As you know, I have always had a big connection with France. My parents have always loved the country, especially Paris, so we visited at least once a year while I was growing up. Luckily, France is quite close to Milan, so the trips were easy. That said, I have always enjoyed French food… I…
