If you follow Manu’s Menu quite regularly, you will remember me saying that Italians always have cotechino for New Year’s Eve. It is like having turkey for Thanksgiving… it’s a given and something that can never be missing from our table. I have shared with you a few recipes for it during the years… from…

POLPETTE DI SARDE ALLA SICILIANA – SICILIAN SARDINE PATTIES

ORECCHIETTE WITH SAUSAGE AND FENNEL TOPS

LASAGNE WITH ZUCCHINI PESTO, SPECK AND SMOKED SCAMORZA

FRESH TUNA RAGU
This is a recipe that I learnt from my dad. He loves tuna (and so do I), so whenever we saw tuna at the markets, we would buy some and make a ragù with it. Ragù is a generic term that Italians use for tomato based sauces predominantely made with meat, but not only. The…

CABBAGE AND TALEGGIO CRESPELLE
