I can’t believe it is almost Christmas already! It feels like yesterday that I put away last year’s Christmas decorations! Anyhow, I won’t complain. At the end of the day, it is still my favourite time of the year. Minus the Christmas shopping, that is. I find that stressful… So, I often make Edible Christmas…
Dairy-free Blueberry Lavender Muffins
I am pretty sure that everyone has their favourite flavour combination when it comes to muffins. Mine has always been blueberry and lemon. Well, at least up until very recently, when I remembered that blueberries are fantastic when paired with lavender. Do you remember my Blueberry Lavender Syrup, Blueberry Lavender Mojito, and Blueberry Lavender Swirl…

Dairy-free Raspberry Jam Crostata #BakingBloggers
While I was on holiday in Tahiti (yes… and expect some posts on that!), I read on Facebook that Sue from A Palatable Pastime was organizing #BakingBloggers, a group of bloggers who would bake something different once a month and publish it on their blogs. I really liked the idea, as I don’t usually bake…
Oil Shortbread Dough
The other day my eldest daughter came home from school saying she wanted to bake a crostata for the whole family. We usually make a butter-based crostata dough (click here for the recipe) which tastes amazing and never fails! However, I have recently found out that I am lactose intolerant and she absolutely wanted mummy…
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.

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,…
White Chocolate Almond Fudge
My husband adores both white chocolate and condensed milk (yes, he has a very sweet tooth!), so I am always looking at ways to use these ingredients together. This White Chocolate Almond Fudge was a huge success. I also liked the slight crunch that the crushed almonds added to it. This fudge makes for a…

Banana Coconut Cookies
Sweet ripe bananas bring moisture and flavour to Banana Coconut Cookies, creating a chewy snack with lightly golden edges. Free from dairy, eggs, butter, and oil, they’re a lighter homemade treat.
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…

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…

A soft slice of 5 Minute Vanilla Cake is always a good idea, especially when it comes together this quickly, with a light, fluffy texture and a simple vanilla flavour.
Lemon and Oil Cakes
I absolutely love lemon-based desserts. I am not sure if it’s an age thing, but lately, they have become m, favourite and I like them even more than chocolate-based desserts! If you had told me this a few years ago, I would have never believed it could happen! These Lemon and Oil are delicious and…
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?

Apple Skillet Cookie with Maple Butterscotch Sauce
There is absolutely nothing better than apple desserts, especially in winter. I find them to be the most comforting of dishes. I love the flavour, the consistency, the aroma that fills the house when you bake anything made with apples. This Apple Skillet Cookie with Maple Butterscotch Sauce has become a huge family favourite in…
Chocolate Shortbread Cookies
Shortbread is an absolute favourite of mine. I love the buttery taste and the fact that it practically melts in your mouth the moment you take a bite. These Chocolate Shortbread Cookies are no exception, and besides, they are made with cocoa powder… so they are the perfect treat for any chocoholic like yours truly!…

Don’t you just love chocolate bark? I had some leftover white chocolate and dried apricots, and I just couldn’t resist to urge to mix them up!

During our recent holiday in Japan, we enjoyed some delicious matcha cookies. In Kyoto there is a shop called Malebranche that sells amazing sweets. Our favourite are langues de chat… 2 wafer thin matcha cookies sandwiched with a layer of white chocolate in between. We had them during our first trip and we got some…
Italian Lemon Meringue Shooters

As you know, my family and I recently travelled to Japan for the second time in less than 3 years. We absolutely adore this country: its culture, its cities, its scenery and… its food. One of the the things we discovered this year was sakura, as a flavour I mean. I had no idea that…
Apricot Jam Crostata
Growing up I have always preferred Nutella over jam. However, I did make an exception for peach jam. I know you may be wondering why I am talking about peach jam when I have used apricot jam for this crostata. Well, the reason is simple: I can’t find peach jam at regular supermarkets here in…
Strawberry Chocolate Cupcakes
I made these Strawberry Chocolate Cupcakes for my youngest daughter’s birthday party… I can’t believe they were still sitting in my archive! Anyhow, if you remember, she had requested a Japanese/Doraemon themed-party, so I thought of decorating the cupcakes with little cherry blossoms made out of fondant. They were a hit, like cupcakes always are….
Guinness Brownies with Baileys Frosting
I have had this Guinness Brownies with Baileys Frosting recipe saved for a looooong time and I finally got to make it. And what better occasion than Saint Patrick’s Day? Isn’t this the quintessential Irish recipe? These brownies are amazing… so chocolatey and fudgy! The addition of Guinness only intensifies the deep chocolate flavour. They…
