Got a bowl of buttercream sitting in the fridge? Don’t let it go to waste. These soft, buttery Leftover Buttercream Cookies make the most of every bit — simple, quick, and incredibly good.
Double Chocolate Cupcakes
I made these Double Chocolate Cupcakes for my youngest daughter’s birthday party in December and they were a hit with both adults and kids alike. I must admit that I usually do not like buttercream, as it is usually way too sweet for my taste, but this chocolate version got me hooked! I guess it’s…
6 Year Blogiversary
Today Manu’s Menu turns 6! I almost can’t 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.
Parmigiano Reggiano Tortellini with Artichokes
If you follow Manu’s Menu regularly, you will know that artichoke is my absolute favourite winter vegetable! Today I will show you how to make Parmigiano Reggiano Tortellini with Artichokes, a real treat! The tortellini are filled with Parmigiano Reggiano and the artichokes are used in a very simple sauce. The combination is amazing and…
Blueberry Limoncello Yogurt Ciambellone
Don’t you think that Blueberry and Lemon is the perfect combination of flavours? I certainly do! And even more so when liquor is involved! This Limoncello Blueberry Yogurt Ciambellone is AMAZING in flavour and texture. The cake is fluffy and light with a good hint of lemon and the blueberry make it even more moist….
Honey Glazed Baby Carrots
I made these Honey Glazed Baby Carrots as one of the side dishes for our Christmas Eve dinner. I love baby carrots as they taste sweet and delicious and this is one of my favourite dishes. It also helps that it is very quick and easy to make, which makes it the perfect addition to…
Sicilian Sweet and Sour Mackerel
My parents are here for the holidays and, like every year, I get to eat food from my childhood cooked by my mother. We used to eat a lot of fish when living in Italy and today I will share my mother’s recipe for one of my favourite dishes: Sicilian Sweet and Sour Mackerel –…

Ready to say goodbye to 2016?? I definitely am! I am quite happy to leave it behind and I can’t wait to see what the new year will bring! To celebrate in style, I am going to make this Blueberry Lavender Mojito. It is amazingly delicious and it is a great way to use up…
Blueberry Lavender Syrup
I love today’s recipe. I am a huge fan of using edible flowers in cooking, especially in desserts and this Blueberry Lavender Syrup is a must-try recipe. It is very easy to make and the lavender adds a special touch to the (already delicious) blueberry syrup. Besides, I love how versatile this syrup is. You…

Goan Marzipan
A festive favourite made simple, this Goan Marzipan brings together almond meal, sugar, and rose water for a treat that melts in your mouth.
Vin Brule
With Christmas just around the corner, I thought I should share a quintessential Italian Christmas recipe: Vin Brule – aka Italian mulled wine. When living in Italy, Christmas used to be my favourite time of the year. I loved the cold, snowy winters and dark evenings. It all contributed to the cozy Christmas atmosphere that…
Milk Cream
Today I will take you all to India with me – to beautiful sunny Goa, to be precise – and I will show you how to make Milk Cream. Milk Cream is a cashew nut and milk fudge that is traditionally made by Goan Catholics for Christmas. It is very likely a local adaptation of…
Baked Ndunderi
Today I am back with a traditional recipe from the south of Italy: Baked Ndunderi (pronounced “doon-der-ee”) . Ndunderi are hand-made gnocchi-like pasta from the Amalfi Coast, near Naples. I must admit that, unfortunately, this pasta is not very well known around Italy, which is a real pity as it tastes amazing. Ndunderi are a…
Doraemon Cake
Surprise your little one with a Doraemon Cake that’s fun to make, easy to decorate, and made with soft sponge layers covered in colourful fondant that brings joy to every celebration.
Ham and Stracchino Pinwheels
I recently made these Ham and Stracchino Pinwheels and it was love at first bite! I think these will make it to our dinner table during the Holiday Season. They make a great addition to any buffet! I love anything made with puff pastry, but these pinwheels are special. The stracchino cheese is what sets…
Macine Cookies
Classic Italian Macine Cookies with a delicate crumb and rich buttery flavour, totally dunk-worthy, made for breakfast dipping with milk.
Ham and Cheese Skillet Focaccia
I love focaccia, but I don’t make it often as the real Focaccia Genovese requires a few hours of resting time and I don’t always have it. I have recently shared with you the recipe for a potato based focaccia which takes a lot less time to make and today I will show you how…
Blueberry Caipiroska
Today I am going to show you how to make another easy drink recipe: Blueberry Caipiroska. With the holidays coming up – and especially the New Year celebrations – it’s always good to have a few different drink ideas up your sleeve. Eggnog is great, but I always try to have a few quick options…
Coffee Sables
I really love to bake cookies, especially this time of year. Yes, I know it’s hot in Australia and we do not get all the White Christmas vibes people in the Northern Hemisphere get right now, but I can still switch my oven own thanks to my air-con! So, I don’t give up baking cookies!…
Sweet and Sour Chicken Stir Fry
Sweet and Sour anything is my favourite Chinese dish. In fact, I really love my Sweet and Sour pork fritters and the other day I was severely craving them. The fact is that, after having my gallbladder removed, I am trying to avoid deep fried food (at least for the time being ;-)). That’s when…
Strawberries in White Wine
Today I am going to share with you a very quick and easy end of meal recipe: Strawberries in White Wine. This recipe is similar to the Peaches in Wine recipe I have already shared with you and, just like it, this too can easily substitute dessert, as the wine becomes almost a strawberry flavoured…
Castagnaccio
Today I am back with a traditional Italian recipe: Castagnaccio. It is a typically autumnal dessert found in the Tuscany, Liguria, Piedmont, and Emilia-Romagna regions of Italy. It is made from a batter of chestnut flour, water, extra virgin olive oil, pine nuts, and raisins, which is mixed until smooth and then baked. There are…
Saffron Pumpkin Porcini Risotto
I must admit that one of the things I miss the most about living in the Northern Hemisphere are the seasons. Don’t get me wrong, we have the same seasons down here, but they are “reversed”. In fact, right now, it’s the end of spring. Besides the fact that I will never be able to…
Pine Nut Cake
Buttery crostata crust with a soft semolina centre and pine nuts baked on top gives this Pine Nut Cake a rich, nutty finish with a gentle hint of lemon.
