Home-made Salted Caramel Liqueur

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

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…

Royal Tahiti

Royal Tahiti

I am so excited about today’s post: Royal Tahiti! A little over 1 year ago, my family and I were enjoying the sun and turquoise sea of French Polynesia.  The best sea in the world if you ask me!

Glacier Fusion Daiquiri

Glacier Fusion Daiquiri

I must admit that I love all rum based drinks the most and Daiquiris are among my favourites.  They are easy to make (and to play around with) and I really like the fruity varieties (I do have a thing for sweet drinks).  For my daughter’s Frozen birthday party, I wanted to prepare something for…

Victoria’s 7th Birthday

On the 16th we celebrated my eldest daughter Victoria’s 7th birthday!!!  I know I always say this, but I really cannot believe how fast time flies.  Victoria is turning into a beautiful and thoughtful little girl and I am trying to enjoy these years as much as I can, as I know she will soon…

Pomegranate Mojito

Pomegranate Mojito

Mojito is one of my all time favourite drink.  It reminds me of my time in Cuba, a place I love dearly.  I have already shared with you the recipe for the “original” Mojito, made with lime and mint leaves.  There’s nothing better than a minty Mojito, especially on a hot summer evening.  It is…

Coco Loco

Coco Loco

Today’s recipe is a drink: Coco Loco!  This is not just a cocktail, it is more of a tropical vacation in a glass.

Pomegranate Daiquiri

Pomegranate Daiquiri

The last few weeks have been rainy down here and the weather has turned from hot into “cool” (I won’t say cold, as we probably get about 2 weeks of real winter here in Sydney and even then, it’s a much milder winter than my childhood winters).  Autumn has definitely come and I am quite…

Green Tea Latte

Green Tea Latte #SundaySupper

This week Sunday Supper is turning “green” in honour of St. Patrick’s Day.  We will be sharing recipes for green foods from beverages all the way to desserts (and everything in between), so make sure to check out all the links at the end of this post! So, green it is and what’s greener than…

Irish Coffee

Irish Coffee

As Paddy’s Day is fast approaching, I thought of sharing a classic recipe: Irish coffee.  You know I love my coffee and I generally have espresso (better yet, macchiato), but on a cold winter’s evening, I love to indulge with something more.  Irish coffee is simply delicious and very easy to make.  It is the…

Watermelon Margarita

Watermelon Margarita

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, I thought of sharing a cocktail recipe.  The very first time I had a margarita, it was in Tijuana.  I was 19.  Yes, I know what you think… but no, I hadn’t gone there to drink to my heart’s content.  In fact, I have never been big on…

Valentine's Day Recipe Roundup

Valentine’s Day Recipe Roundup

As Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, I thought of putting together a roundup of a few of my favourite recipes.  It’s always hard to choose, as I like everything I publish (what I don’t like doesn’t get on this blog… ever!), but I think these are all fantastic ideas for a romantic dinner.  Some…

Creamy Nutella Liqueur

Creamy Nutella Liqueur #nutelladay

Sara from Ms. Adventures in Italy and Michelle from Bleeding Espresso have declared February 5th “World Nutella Day 2014″ – “a day to celebrate, to get creative with, and most importantly, to EAT Nutella”. Raise your hand if you like Nutella!!!  If I had to ask this question in an Italian classroom… I would probably be surrounded by…

Coffee and Vanilla Liqueur

COFFEE AND VANILLA LIQUEUR

Like every year, I made some edible gifts to give my friends for Christmas.  Last year, I had successfully made some Bailey’s Irish Cream, so this time I wanted to experiment with other flavoured liqueurs.  I love Kahlua, so I thought I would try that.  I found lots of recipes and in the end I…

Chai

CHAI

Today is the time to share the recipe for one of the most comforting beverages ever: Indian chai.  I see all kinds of chai drinks around and it’s become quite a fashionable drink… so much so that it’s often not the original Indian chai any more and it can get quite confusing.  So, what is…

Chai Masala

CHAI MASALA

You probably don’t know this, but my family has been hit by a brutal bout of flu… the kind that gives you 104F fever.  It is so irritating as it is summer here and it’s really not the time you would want to catch the flu (if ever there is a time!).  Also, both my…

Blood Orange Margarita

BLOOD ORANGE MARGARITA

Happy Halloween everyone!  I cannot believe it’s the end of October already!  This year has just flown by so fast.  That means that Christmas is around the corner and I cannot wait as my parents will be arriving soon… and this year we already have our menus set for the holidays.  They want to try…

Mai Tai

MAI TAI

During my stay at the Hilton Bora Bora Nui Resort & Spa, I took part in their “cocktail class”, during which the bartender showed us how to make their signature drink: Mai Tai and I am here to share it with you all!  Apparently, even though this cocktail has become  famous as a Polynesian classic, it…

Mango and Passion fruit Cocktail

MANGO AND PASSION FRUIT COCKTAIL

Today I am sharing with you the recipe for a tropical and yummy sweet cocktail made with Mango and Passion fruit.  I actually made this last year for the first time when my friend Anna was visiting us from Italy.  We cooked a Thai inspired dinner together and this was our drink for the evening. …

STRAWBERRY, BANANA AND APPLE SMOOTHIE

I won’t lie… my kids, especially my 5 year old daughter, do not like fruits.  Yes, I know what you are thinking “you are food blogger, and you can’t get your own kids to eat their fruits?!”… ehm… sort of.  But I am working on it and smoothies are a great way to get my…

CUBA LIBRE

Who’s up for a drink??  Today I want to show you how to make one of my all time favourite cocktails: Cuba Libre (or Rum and Coke).  It is really very easy and does not require any particular skill… it is basically a mix of… rum, coke and lime juice on ice  According to the…

Banana, Coconut and Passion Fruit Smoothie

BANANA, COCONUT AND PASSION FRUIT SMOOTHIE

Lately I have been experimenting quite a bit with smoothies and shakes.  The truth is, I have been left with some ripe fruits that needed to be used and I wanted to make something light and healthy with it.  Besides, I always find that smoothies are a great way to get my fussy children to…
