Today’s recipe is a delicious Italian Vegetable Pie. It is very simple to make and it is lower in fat than a regular quiche, since it does not contain any milk or cream. You can use your favourite vegetables for this one and it is also a great way to finish off leftover vegetables lying…
Schiacciata alla Fiorentina
Tomorrow is Mardi Gras or Carnevale as we call it in Italy. Carnevale is a big event in Italy – kids even stay home from school! Everyone dresses up for almost a week and goes on parades with all kinds of floats.
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!
Home-made Vegan Nutella #WorldNutellaDay
Happy World Nutella Day everyone! If you follow Manu’s Menu more or less regularly, you will know that I LOVE Nutella. I grew up eating it in Italy (yes, it is an Italian product!) and I still love it. However, you may also know that I have recently discovered that I am severely lactose intolerant.
Peacock Cupcakes
I made these Peacock Cupcakes as part of my daughter’s 8th birthday celebrations. She had an India-themed party, so after making Mehndi Cupcakes and an Indian Cake, I thought to make Peacock Cupcakes to take to school for her classmates.
Indian Cake
As you may remember, just before Christmas, my youngest daughter turned 8. She wanted an Indian themed birthday party, so she and her sister could wear the beautiful Indian outfits their grandma got for them from India.
Rissoles
Today’s recipe is all about Australia, as I am sharing with you how to make Rissoles. Rissoles are basically Australian beef and vegetable patties that are pan-fried and served with Ketchup (or “tomato sauce” as we say here).
One Pot Chicken and Lemon Rice
Don’t you just love one-pot recipes? I know I do! They come together quickly and they require minimum cleaning after dinner, which is fantastic, especially after you have had a long tiring day. This One Pot Chicken and Lemon Rice is one such recipe, and it has yet another merit: it tastes amazing.
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.
Ziti with Neapolitan Meat Ragout #Napolicious
I am very excited about today’s recipe! I am partnering with Pasta Garofalo to bring to you Ziti with Neapolitan Meat Ragout, the quintessential Sunday supper meal. As the name suggests, this mouth-watering dish is typical of the beautiful southern city of Naples. This is a city that has been ruled by many different people…
Mehndi Cupcakes
Just before Christmas, my youngest daughter turned 8. She wanted an Indian themed birthday party this time, so she and her sister could wear the beautiful Indian outfits their grandma got for them from India.
Vegan Apple Spice Cake
As you may know, I have recently discovered that I am lactose intolerant. That means that I have to also find new ways to satisfy my sweet tooth, so I am always on the lookout for recipes that do not include dairy. Good vegan recipes, like this Vegan Apple Spice Cake, are always great, as…
Fried Bell Peppers and Potatoes
My readers often write to me to ask for some quick side dish ideas to serve with their Italian meals. I know, I don’t publish many side dishes on the site. I am not sure why as growing up, my mother would always serve at least one or two sides with our meal. Anyhow, these…
Frozen Piña Colada
I love a good rum-based cocktail and this Frozen Piña Colada is one of my all time favourite drinks. I have had some pretty good ones in Central America, where they have amazing pineapples and coconuts. By the way, did you know that piña colada has been the national drink of Puerto Rico since 1978?…
Croquembouche
I love choux pastries. I could eat 10 all by myself if left unattended! So, this Christmas I thought of trying my hands at making the in-famous Croquembouche, a traditional French dessert made with cream puffs filled with pastry cream and then dipped in caramel, and piled into a cone. For some reason, I had…
Chocolate Yule Log
As you know, I grew up in Milan, in Northern Italy. Milan is in a fantastic area, just in the middle of Europe, which made travelling very easy even in the pre-low-flight-era. My parents have always loved Paris, so we would go there at least once a year, usually before Christmas. So, I have had…
Pigs in a Blanket Wreath
I love pigs in a blanket… they would always be served for parties when I was growing up, so I guess they remind me of happy times. I also love how easy they are to make. So this Holiday Season, I thought of serving them in a special way and I made the most delicious…
Walnut Semifreddo with Walnut Cherry Brownies and Cherry Compote
Today I am partnering with Webster Ltd – the largest commercial producer of premium-quality walnuts in Australia – to present to you the ultimate Christmas dessert: Walnut Semifreddo with Walnut Cherry Brownies and Cherry Compote! Yes, you read that right and it tastes as decadent as it sounds! I wanted to create something that would…
Reindeer Cupcakes
I love Christmas themed food and I especially love Christmas themed cupcakes. After sharing my Christmas Tree Cupcakes a few days ago, today I am back with these Reindeer Cupcakes. Aren’t they the cutest thing ever? My girls absolutely adored them and the best part is, you can involve the kids while decorating them as…
Pizza Christmas Tree
I love puff pastry treats! They remind me of my childhood as they would always be part of all our festive spreads. This Pizza Christmas Tree is very easy and quick to make and it looks impressive. It would definitely make for a great appetiser idea to serve to family and friends this coming Christmas….
Reindeer Rice Krispies Treats
Even though it’s summer here in Australia, I still like to come up with fun Christmas projects to make with the kids… but because of the heat, I tend to prefer recipes that don’t necessarily require baking. These Reindeer Rice Krispies Treats fit the bill perfectly. They are very easy to make and will keep…
Christmas Tree Cupcakes
These Christmas Tree Cupcakes are so much fun to make! I baked chocolate cupcakes to use as the base of the tree and then topped them with green vanilla buttercream to make the tree. To decorate the “tree” you can use anything you like. I used mini chocolate chips of different colours, silver pearls and…
Edible Christmas Gifts 2017 Round Up
I can’t believe it is almost Christmas already! It feels like yesterday that I put away last year’s Christmas decorations! Anyhow, I won’t complain. At the end of the day, it is still my favourite time of the year. Minus the Christmas shopping, that is. I find that stressful… So, I often make Edible Christmas…
Dairy-free Blueberry Lavender Muffins
I am pretty sure that everyone has their favourite flavour combination when it comes to muffins. Mine has always been blueberry and lemon. Well, at least up until very recently, when I remembered that blueberries are fantastic when paired with lavender. Do you remember my Blueberry Lavender Syrup, Blueberry Lavender Mojito, and Blueberry Lavender Swirl…
Chinese Sweet and Sour Pork Meatballs
Sweet and Sour anything is my go-to dish whenever I eat Chinese food. I have always liked sweet and sour sauces… even in Italian cooking. So, when I saw these meatballs, I couldn’t resist and I had to try them. And boy, was I glad I did! They were a super hit with my family…
Walnut Ciabatta Bread
As you know, I love baking bread and having recently discovered that I am lactose intolerant, that’s a great thing. Not many people know this, but lactose is not only found in milk and dairy products. Lactose is used as a preservative for cold meats like ham and salami for example, and it is often…
Tahitian Mango Jam
During our recent stay in the islands of Tahiti, we have had plenty of delicious locally made jam. The main flavours were pineapple (always a favourite of mine), guava, some of kind of citrus like lime or grapefruit, and mango. Well, we even had an amazing coconut jam that I will have to try and…
