Today’s post is not a recipe. As the title suggests, I will share with you my favourite recipes for Easter. In the Northern Hemisphere, Easter is in spring and many Easter dishes are linked to spring both in produce used and in theme. While we are in autumn down under, the people who migrated from…
Stracci di Antrodoco #SundaySupper
This week Sunday Supper’s theme is “stuff it, roll it, and/or wrap it”! We will be sharing recipes for food that is stuffed, rolled, and/or wrapped, so make sure to check out all the yummy links at the end of this post! Today I am going to combine my Sunday Supper post with my Regional Italian…
Margarita Chicken Wings
In the recent couple of years I have come to LOVE eating chicken wings. They are really not something Italians eat a lot of. I mean, we do eat them when we cook a whole chicken and we use them a lot to make chicken broth, but they are not an appetiser kind of food…
Easy Chili Con Carne #SundaySupper
This week’s Sunday Supper event is a Chili Cook-off! So all the bloggers taking part to this event will post chili recipes! Not only… being a “real cook-off” we also have public voting for the best chili recipe! The lucky winner will receive a Food and Wine Conference ticket PLUS a gift card. The voting will…
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…
Alpine Sliders #SundaySupper
This week’s Sunday Supper is all about Super Bowl food, as the event is called “Super Eats for Game Day”, so if you are like me and LOVE the kind of food that is served for such occasions, you are in for a big treat! In fact, I cannot wait to read all the amazing recipe…
Super Bowl Recipe Roundup
Today’s post is not about 1 recipe. As Super Bowl is approaching, I thought to make a list of the best party food MsM has to offer. I am no football fan. In fact, I have never seen a whole match. I do however follow soccer and when it comes to cheering for your favourite…
Herb filled Chicken Rolls with Puff Pastry
Today’s post is about a very elegant recipe. It is great for a special occasion (I made this during the Christmas holidays) or a romantic dinner… It requires a little extra work, but it is much easier than what it seems. These Herb filled Chicken Rolls with Puff Pastry are delicious! I love the filling as…
Lamb Gozleme
I love Gozleme. Did you know that the name “Gozleme” comes from the word goz that means “eye” in Turkish? Apparently it derives its name from the little round black spots that form on the dough after cooking it! Since discovering this little tasty pocket of Turkish goodness, I have tried many different fillings and…
PARMIGIANO REGGIANO TARTS WITH COTECHINO
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…
CAPPELLACCI WITH SAUSAGE AND PORCINI
Happy New Year everybody! I hope you had a fun (and food) filled New Year’s Eve and I wish you all the best for 2014!!! Today I want to celebrate the beginning of the new year with a special recipe. We had these on Christmas Eve and they were a huge hit. Every year we…
COTECHINO WITH ITALIAN MASH POTATOES
As the last post of the year, I had to share with you a cotechino recipe. That’s because Italians always have at least one slice of cotechino on New Year’s Eve! It’s a tradition that I love to keep alive even down under. I often make my own cotechino (you can find my tutorial and…
Pasta al Forno (Pasta Bake)
A traditional Pasta al Forno layered with ragù, Béchamel, and cheese. Creamy, savoury, and finished with a crisp top, it’s the ultimate baked pasta for weekends and gatherings.
CABBAGE ROLLS
November’s Daring Cooks’ Challenge had us on a roll! Olga from Effortless Lessly challenged us to make stuffed cabbage rolls using her Ukrainian heritage to inspire us. Filled with meat, fish or vegetables, flexibility and creativity were the name of the game to get us rolling! This was the first Daring Cooks challenge I took…
ORECCHIETTE WITH SAUSAGE AND FENNEL TOPS
I know many people find making bread relaxing. And I do understand why… kneading is good for you and it does take your mind away from everyday worries. I have a very similar experience when making pasta. And more precisely when shaping pasta with my hands. I find it a very relaxing and fulfilling activity. …
BUFFALO STYLE WINGS
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 COTECHINO
A few months ago, I took part in a Daring Cooks challenge about salumi. At that time, I chose to make Salame Cotto, and it was a great success. That, and the fact that I regularly make my own Pork Sausage, encouraged me to try my hands at making another popular Italian meat product: Cotechino….
LAMB KOFTA CURRY
I love today’s recipe. I know I say this quite often, but then… would I share something that I don’t like?? Mmmm nope! However, this is one of my favourite curries. I love meatballs as they remind me of home. My mum would often make meatballs and I think all children like them.
CAPSICUM AND MUSHROOM BEEF STEW
Today I want to share with you a recipe that I used to cook while growing up in Milan. Yes, you read that right. I used to cook this for the family. It is quite an easy recipe all things considered. I used to cook it on the stove, but I have recently changed over…
BEEF AGGLASSATO
Today’s Regional Italian dish is yet another dish from Sicily! It is a very easy and delicious beef pot roast (kind of) made with onions and white wine. It is a recipe from Palermo that comes from my father’s side of the family. I have already shared with you the recipe for Chicken Agglassato, and this…
PAN FRIED SICILIAN PORK SAUSAGE WITH FENNEL
Sausage is one of the meats I used to love the most while growing up. I still do, but now I am much more selective and try to make my own sausage every time I can. There is nothing better than fresh, home-made pork sausage: you know what’s in it, you choose the cuts of…
Homemade Sicilian Pork Sausage with Fennel
Fire up the grill for Homemade Sicilian Pork Sausage with Fennel. Juicy, flavourful, and easy to cook, it’s made for outdoor meals and relaxed gatherings. Few recipes take me back to my family’s kitchen quite like Homemade Sicilian Pork Sausage with Fennel. It’s something I’ve been making for years and have always wanted to share…
MUGHLAI LAMB BIRYANI
Grace, one of our talented non-blogging Daring Kitchen members, was our Daring Cooks’ August hostess who shared with us some of her family’s tried and true Bengali Biryani recipes – all of them delicious and all of them prepared fresh from our own kitchens! The first thing I thought when I saw this month’s challenge was…
GINGER SESAME CHICKEN
I always have chicken tenders in my freezer… they are very versatile, quick to cook and they always please the whole family. I love the fact that they are always moist and not dry. I have never seen these in Italy, where you either buy breast or thighs (or the whole chicken). I stumbled upon…
CHICKEN SOFFICINI
Today I want to share with you the recipe of chicken sofficini. If you follow Manu’s Menu, I am sure you will remember my recipe for Ham and Cheese Sofficini – fried pastries filled with ham and cheese, typical Italian comfort food. Well, during my summer holidays in Sicily, I would eat a lot of fish……
ALBÓNDIGAS EN SALSA DE ALMENDRAS
The June Daring Cooks’ challenge sure kept us rolling – meatballs, that is! Shelley from C Mom Cook and Ruth from The Crafts of Mommyhood challenged us to try meatballs from around the world and to create our own meatball meal celebrating a culture or cuisine of our own choice. Wow! What a great theme!…
ABBACCHIO A SCOTTADITO
Today’s Regional Italian recipe is from the region of Lazio, the region of Rome. It is a very simple dish made up of grilled marinated lamb cutlets. The term abbacchio indicates a little lamb in the local dialect and “a scottadito” literally means “à la burning finger”… I know it sounds funny, but these cutlets…
