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…

3 YEAR BLOGIVERSARY!
Today we are celebrating my site’s 3rd blogiversary! It feels like yesterday that I started blogging. I still remember how hard it was to choose a name for the blog.

THE DARING COOKS’ JANUARY 2014 CHALLENGE: ARANCINE
This month’s challenge is very special for a few reasons.

HOME-MADE PUMPKIN PURÉE
Come October-November I start seeing a lot of recipes that call for pumpkin purée… the truth is, the thought of looking for the canned version never even occurred to me. I didn’t even know it existed before I started blogging… So, I looked it up on the internet and discovered that it is plain and…

MANU’S MENU HAS GONE MOBILE!
Today I have some great news to share with all of you! When I started blogging I had no idea of how to use a computer besides doing basics things like emailing, surfing the web or writing documents. When I decided to open a blog I also decided that I wanted to do it “all…
SUPER BOWL OR FOOTY NIGHT SUGGESTIONS
I must admit I am no football lover. In fact, the only football I like is soccer… I am Italian after all. After reading quite a bit about the upcoming Super Bowl though, I started thinking that the most fun part about the event would be watching it with friends and family while sharing some…
