I had my first Smoked Salmon Bagel when, at the age of 17, I visited New York. It was my first time in the USA and I spent 3 weeks in NYC as part of a school exchange program. I have always loved smoked salmon, but I had never had it with cream cheese before….
Fiadoni
This year’s Easter recipe is Fiadoni. Fiadoni are a typical Easter dish from Abruzzo, in Central Italy. They are savoury ravioli, filled with cheese and then baked until golden brown. Usually, the cheese is a mix of dry grated sheep’s milk cheese (like Pecorino Romano) and a milder, less aged sheep’s milk cheese. I used…
Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream
Cheesecake + ice cream = yesss please! Don’t you just love both desserts? And you can have them both into 1 single dessert with this ice cream. This Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream tastes amazing and you don’t even need an ice cream machine to make it! You can whip it up in 20 minutes! The…
Sakura Panna Cotta
As you know, my family and I recently travelled to Japan for the second time in less than 3 years. We absolutely adore this country: its culture, its cities, its scenery and… its food. One of the the things we discovered this year was sakura, as a flavour I mean. I had no idea that…
Apricot Jam Crostata
Growing up I have always preferred Nutella over jam. However, I did make an exception for peach jam. I know you may be wondering why I am talking about peach jam when I have used apricot jam for this crostata. Well, the reason is simple: I can’t find peach jam at regular supermarkets here in…
Fried Pasta
Crisp, golden Fried Pasta with a savoury tomato aroma makes weekday lunches effortless, turning simple leftovers into something warm, satisfying, and ready in minutes. My mother often made fried pasta. It isn’t really a proper recipe since the ingredients don’t have exact proportions, and you can easily adjust it depending on what’s left in the…
Strawberry Chocolate Cupcakes
I made these Strawberry Chocolate Cupcakes for my youngest daughter’s birthday party… I can’t believe they were still sitting in my archive! Anyhow, if you remember, she had requested a Japanese/Doraemon themed-party, so I thought of decorating the cupcakes with little cherry blossoms made out of fondant. They were a hit, like cupcakes always are….
Nikko Guide – Japan
During our latest holiday in Japan, we spent a few days in Tokyo. As we had already been there in 2015, we decided to go out on a couple of day trips to nearby places. One of these places was Nikko (and the other one was Kamakura).
Italian Salad
Some readers have asked me to share more Italian side dishes on the blog. I actually hadn’t realised that I didn’t have many! It’s probably because Italian side dishes are pretty easy and straightforward and I never think they are “blog worthy”. But then again, they may be straightforward for me, having grown up in…
Guinness Brownies with Baileys Frosting
I have had this Guinness Brownies with Baileys Frosting recipe saved for a looooong time and I finally got to make it. And what better occasion than Saint Patrick’s Day? Isn’t this the quintessential Irish recipe? These brownies are amazing… so chocolatey and fudgy! The addition of Guinness only intensifies the deep chocolate flavour. They…
Kamakura Guide – Japan
During our recent trip to Japan, we spent a few days in Tokyo. As we had already visited this amazing city, we took this opportunity to go out on a couple of day trips to nearby places. One of these places was Kamakura.
Dolci Pellegrino
Today I will share with you the recipe for Dolci Pellegrino, traditional lemon flavoured cookies from the city of Naples. Apparently these cookies, like many other Neapolitan and Sicilian sweets, were created by the nuns of a convent. These nuns were also helping out at the Pellegrini Hospital (thus the name) and would make these…
Salt-Crusted Snapper
I am very excited about today’s recipe! Salt-Crusted Snapper is one of my mum’s signature dishes. In fact, she made it for us just a few days ago and I managed to get her recipe for it to share with all of you here on the blog! Aren’t you lucky? If you like fish, this…
Tokyo – Off The Beaten Path
During our recent trip to Japan, we spent a few days in Tokyo. It is a huge city and each area has its own characteristics… they are almost separate towns that make up a huge metropolis. Having already been there in 2015, we had already visited all the “must-see” places on our list, so this…
Triple Chocolate Mousse
Layers of white chocolate mousse, dark chocolate mousse, and chocolate cake come together in this Triple Chocolate Mousse dessert for a rich make-ahead treat.
Pignoccata (Italian Honey Balls)
Pignoccata, or Italian honey balls, are coated in syrup that makes them sweet and sticky. Almonds bring crunch, sprinkles add colour, and the taste is light enough to enjoy at Carnevale.
Brioche Potatoes
Today I am back with a delicious side dish: Brioche Potatoes. This was one of my grandmother Bice’s specialty and now that my mum is in town, we have made them again. It is a very easy recipe, really, what what sets these potatoes apart is their shape. They are called “Brioche” because they have…
Blueberry Lavender Swirl Yogurt Popsicles
I LOVE frozen yogurt, don’t you? I love the tangy flavour of the yogurt and during a hot day, I find it extremely refreshing. Besides, when you are trying to eat low-fattish (is that even a word??), it is the best alternative to full fat ice cream. These Blueberry Lavender Swirl Yogurt Popsicles are so…
Walnut Spelt Bread
I absolutely adore baking bread. The aroma that comes out of the oven and spreads around the house when I bake bread just puts a smile on my face. My go-to recipe for home-made bread is definitely my ciabatta because it is very quick and easy to make. However, I also like to use spelt…
Nutella Dorayaki
Fluffy pancakes with chocolate filling, Nutella Dorayaki are a simple way to add something sweet and homemade to your day.
Biscotti della Tresca
I am very happy about today’s post. If you follow Manu’s Menu, you will know that this blog is all about authentic Italian food. I do share many modern Italian recipes, but what makes me really happy is the possibility to share more traditional not so famous recipes, and above all, regional recipes. Italian food…

Roast Pork and Stuffing brings colour and comfort to the Christmas table, with golden crackling and a fruity filling that tastes like celebration.
Strawberry Caipiroska
Cool off on a warm day with Strawberry Caipiroska, a vibrant mix of strawberries, lime, and vodka that’s sweet, tart, and perfectly balanced.
Middle-Eastern Chargrilled Pumpkin Salad
I made this Middle-Eastern Chargrilled Pumpkin Salad as one of the side dishes for our Christmas Eve dinner, as it paired really well with the stuffing of the roast pork I had made. I loved the blend of Middle Eastern spices that goes into this warm simple salad. Sumac is one of my all time…
