8 Year Blogiversary

Yesterday, Manu’s Menu turned 8!  Can you believe it’s been that long? And what an incredible journey it has been! I have learnt so much along the way (have a look at one of my first posts’ pictures!) and I have met, although mainly virtually, many amazing people throughout the years.

7 Year Blogiversary

Two days ago, Manu’s Menu turned 7!  Can you believe it’s been that long? And what an incredible journey it has been! I have learnt so much along the way (have a look at one of my first posts’ pictures!) and I have met, although mainly virtually, many amazing people throughout the years.

5 Year Blogiversary

Today Manu’s Menu turns 5!  Time really does fly when you are having fun!  And during the past 5 years, I sure had a lot of it.  I also learnt so much along the way (try and look at one of my first posts’ photography!) and met, although mainly virtually, many amazing people.

Toollio Review

As you know, I love making things from scratch… I have tried my hands at making all kinds of pasta, liqueurs and even cheese. I must admit though that one of the things I like the most making from scratch is smallgoods and sausages.  I like the fact that you can be very creative and…

EatNow Review

I was recently asked to review a food ordering website called EatNow and I happily accepted as I find the concept behind it to be very interesting.  You all know I love cooking, but as a foodie, I also love to eat out and try different restaurants.  Unfortunately, having young children, we don’t get to go out…
