I must admit that I am not a huge seafood lover. However, I eat fish at least twice a week. So, I am always looking for different ways to serve it to the family, just to keep things interesting.
Almond Pralines
These Almond Pralines are addictive. Believe me, you may not be able to stop eating them! In Italy, when I was little, they were sold by street vendors during Christmas time, or at local fêtes and markets.
Valentine’s Day Recipe Round-Up 2018
As Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, I thought of putting together a round-up of a few of my favourite recipes that I think would work great for a romantic dinner. Ready to drool?? Here goes MsM’s Valentine’s Day Recipe Round-up for 2018!
Onigiri
Today I am going to share with you one of my favourite Japanese recipes: Onigiri – aka Japanese Rice Balls. As you know, in the last 2 years, my family and I have visited Japan twice (check out my 2015 post and my 2017 post). We literally love the country and its food! Not only,…
Danubio
Today I am going to share with you a traditional recipe from Naples: Danubio. It can be considered the “cousin” of both savoury baba and casatiello. Danubio is a savoury brioche made up of many small balls filled with a variety of fillings. It is often prepared for Easter, but not only. It is traditionally…
Fiadoni
This year’s Easter recipe is Fiadoni. Fiadoni are a typical Easter dish from Abruzzo, in Central Italy. They are savoury ravioli, filled with cheese and then baked until golden brown. Usually, the cheese is a mix of dry grated sheep’s milk cheese (like Pecorino Romano) and a milder, less aged sheep’s milk cheese. I used…
Pignoccata
Tomorrow is Mardi Gras or, as we Italians call it, Carnevale! Carnevale is a big thing in Italy and all kids dress up for almost a week and go on parades with all kinds of floats. It’s a little bit like “our Halloween”, when kids tell jokes, make pranks and throw coriandoli (coloured paper confetti)…
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…

Italian Garlic Croissants
I hope you had a great New Year’s Eve and I wish you all a fantastic 2017! Today I will show you how to make Italian Garlic Croissants. This is another version of the Savoury Italian Croissants I already shared with you a while ago. Italian croissants – also known as Cornetti – can be…
Milk Cream
Today I will take you all to India with me – to beautiful sunny Goa, to be precise – and I will show you how to make Milk Cream. Milk Cream is a cashew nut and milk fudge that is traditionally made by Goan Catholics for Christmas. It is very likely a local adaptation of…
Ham and Stracchino Pinwheels
I recently made these Ham and Stracchino Pinwheels and it was love at first bite! I think these will make it to our dinner table during the Holiday Season. They make a great addition to any buffet! I love anything made with puff pastry, but these pinwheels are special. The stracchino cheese is what sets…
Castagnaccio
Today I am back with a traditional Italian recipe: Castagnaccio. It is a typically autumnal dessert found in the Tuscany, Liguria, Piedmont, and Emilia-Romagna regions of Italy. It is made from a batter of chestnut flour, water, extra virgin olive oil, pine nuts, and raisins, which is mixed until smooth and then baked. There are…
Sicilian Bell Pepper Involtini
Today’s recipe is a very simple appetiser or side dish idea: Sicilian Bell Pepper Involtini. I love capsicums (or bell peppers), I always have. I have already shared a Bell Pepper Involtini recipe before, but this one is different. They are filled with what we call the ”Zangaras’ trademark”, as we use this same stuffing…
Nutella Roses
I love making puff pastry treats, both savoury and sweet. I always have some puff pastry in the freezer and I like the fact that working with it is easy and quick. I have already showed you how to make Apple Roses using puff pastry, and today I am going to show you how to…
Savoury Italian Croissants
Today I will show you how to make Savoury Italian Croissants. This is an easier version of croissants, as it does not require you to do a beurrage. The final result is softer, more brioche-like than the flaky Croissants au beurre you eat in France. In Italy, we call these rolls Cornetti and they can…
Rava Ladoo
Happy Diwali! Sunday will mark the beginning of Diwali (दिवाली), the “festival of lights”, a 5-day Indian festival that celebrates the triumph of good over evil and light over darkness. Light is the symbol of the celebrations and many clay lamps filled with oil are lit during the 5 days of the festival. As part…
Parmigiano Reggiano Brutti ma Buoni
Today’s recipe is a savoury variation of the more famous sweet Brutti ma Buoni (click here for the sweet recipe that I have already shared a while ago). Brutti ma Buoni are cookies made in Lombardy, the region I was born and grew up in, mainly to utilize leftovers – especially egg whites and nuts….
Olive Breadsticks
Olive Breadsticks – aka Grissini alle Olive – are a variation of the traditional “grissini stirati” recipe that I have already shared with you a while ago. I often make my own breadsticks, as they taste so much better than any store bought variety. I love the fact that they are crunchy and they are…
Tuna Ricotta Balls
Today I am going to share with you the recipe for Tuna Ricotta Balls. They are crunchy savoury bites the whole family will love. These croquettes are baked and not fried, so they are also quite healthy and they make the perfect appetiser or snack idea. I love anything with tuna (remember my Italian Tuna…
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…
