Today’s post is not a complicated recipe, but it is a very useful one for people who do not live in the USA and don’t have access to store bought Cajun seasoning but still want to enjoy the delicious dishes you can make with it. Even if you can buy the ready made mix, it’s…
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…
Home-made Grapefruit Liqueur
I love making my own liqueurs. I find that they taste great and require minimal effort. They are also a fantastic gift idea and you can make them of many different flavours. I have already shared with you a few recipes (you can find them here) and today I’d like to add this Grapefruit Liqueur…
Home-made Mustard
For the month of December Jenni from The Gingered Whisk challenged us to make our own condiments. Ketchup, Mayo, hot sauce… nothing is too challenging for the daring cooks. Ah condiments! Growing up in Italy, I never really used/ate any of them, apart from Mayo and Ketchup. They are not really part of Italian cuisine, but…
Goat’s Milk Ricotta
I really enjoy making my own ricotta and mascarpone at home. You see, in Italy these ingredients are a staple and you find excellent quality products at the supermarket. Here in Australia things are different. As the local Italian community is quite big, these cheeses are indeed sold at the stores, but their quality varies. While…
Marinated Fresh Anchovies
Marinated Fresh Anchovies, known as Alici marinate in Italian, are a classic Italian appetiser. You can find this dish in almost any restaurant and I have always loved it. When I was younger, my dad got the recipe from our fishmonger and has been making it at home ever since, with some minor modifications. So,…
Matcha Nama Chocolates
I have always liked Matcha sweets, but after going to Japan, I love them even more, especially when Matcha powder is paired with chocolate. In fact, in Japan you can find a huge variety of chocolates made with Matcha, including famous brands like Kit Kat or Pocky’s… yum! When we were in Kyoto, we fell…
Home-made Ketchup
And here I am with another one of my DIY projects. Only, this one is really easy. Did you know that making ketchup at home only took 20 minutes? And it is as easy as stirring all the ingredients together and put the pot on the stove. That’s it. It probably takes longer for it…
Sicilian Almond Milk
Today I want to share with you a recipe that is very close to my heart. It is a Sicilian classic that people usually enjoy during the hot Sicilian summer. I used to have a glass of it in the evenings, sitting in our summerhouse yard while chatting with my friends. This is a sweet…

Home-made Ghee
As you know, I like to try my hands at making things at home that you can get in the stores. I know it sounds a bit crazy… why on earth would I want to waste my time to make something I can easily get at the supermarket? Well, for one, you can control…
Fragolino Liqueur
Here I am, back with another recipe for home-made liqueur! And this time it uses strawberries. In fact, the name Fragolino comes from the Italian word fragola, which means strawberry. This is a typical Italian recipe and many people make it at home. As it is spring time in the Northern hemisphere and I have…
Home-made Crema di Limoncello
Today I am back with another one of my favourite home-made liqueur recipes: Crema di Limoncello. We could call it Limoncello’s little brother as this is basically the creamy version of Limoncello, made with cream and milk. It is smooth, sweet, lemony and simply irresistible!
Home-made Limoncello #SundaySupper
So, the #SundaySupper is celebrating the arrival of spring. Obviously, as we are in the Southern hemisphere, this sounds a bit weird… as for us autumn has just begun, but I do love spring… and I also happen to have the perfect recipe for the event!
Dulce de Leche Liqueur
Today I want to share with you the recipe for yet another home-made liqueur. I love Dulce de Leche, don’t you? Well, having this liqueur is like drinking liquid Dulce del Leche! It is just scrumptious. It is very easy to make and it requires only 4 ingredients. It is perfect to give as a…
Passion fruit Liqueur
Here I am, back with another recipe for home-made liqueur! Once you understand the procedure, you can make basically any flavour liqueur you like. This one is made with fresh passion fruit and it is delicious and even though it requires 45 days of “resting time”, the recipe itself is very easy. Thi liqueur is…
Home-made Condensed Milk
The other day I got a comment from a reader asking for a substitute for condensed milk, which is not easily available in her country. So, here comes the solution: Home-made Condensed Milk.
Mozzarella and Sun dried Tomato Pork Sausage
If you follow Manu’s Menu, you must remember that a few weeks ago, I reviewed the Toollio, an amazing multi-function kitchen appliance. Since then, I have been using the Toollio regularly and sharing some recipes that show how versatile this machine is and today, I will be posting the last recipe of this little series. Among the…

Home-made Salted Caramel Liqueur
If you follow Manu’s Menu, you will remember that I decided to start a little series on home-made liqueurs in the weeks before the holiday season. The reason is simple: home-made liqueurs make the perfect Christmas gift, both on their own or as part of a Christmas hamper filled with different home-made goodies. On the…
Home-made White Chocolate Liqueur
Italians like to make things at home. This includes tomato sauces and preserves, pasta, sausages and smallgoods and, of course, liqueurs. Home-made things are better on so many levels. For one thing, you know exactly what went into your food and then everyone knows that food prepared with love always tastes better. I have always…
