Today’s recipe is a very simple appetiser idea: Bell Pepper Involtini. I like to serve these involtini as part of a buffet or a barbecue and they are always a hit. They are very easy to make and I love how colourful they look. Besides, they should be served at room temperature, so you don’t…
Palermo Guide – Italy
I am very excited about the next few posts on Italy, as I will be taking you with me to Sicily. You see, I was born in Milan (in the north of Italy), but my family comes from the beautiful island of Sicily and being away from Italy made me realise how much I owe…
Sicilian Ricotta Crêpes
Today I will share with you a recipe that I have recently come up with while trying to finish off a few leftovers. If you follow Manu’s Menu, you already know that quite a few of my recipes come to life in this way. I hate wasting food… so I always try to be creative…
Grissini Torinesi
Grissini, aka breadsticks, are a weakness of mine. They originate from the Italian city of Turin, in Piedmont and they have been around for centuries! I love how crunchy they are and I often serve them wrapped in prosciutto as an appetiser or aperitivo. I even like to dip them in Nutella, when I am…
Da Bucatino – Rome
I am very happy about today’s post, as I will be reviewing one of my all-time favourite restaurants. It’s not a famous or a starred restaurant, but it serves amazing food. Whenever I travel, I don’t care about fancy places, what I look for in a restaurant is genuine local food. I like places where…
Homemade Cream of Mushroom Soup Recipe
Made from fresh mushrooms, butter, and cream, this Homemade Cream of Mushroom Soup Recipe comes together in 20 minutes and tastes far better than anything canned.

During our recent holiday in Italy, we spent 3 days in Rome. Rome is famous, even among Italians, for its food. It is considered delicious, hearty and the essence of comfort food. And I couldn’t agree more. Needless to say, food was one of the highlights of our short stay and today I will share…
Chicken Kabsa
Inspired by traditional Saudi flavours, Chicken Kabsa blends spiced tomato rice and tender chicken into a dish rich in flavour and balance, loved across the Middle East.

Olive Bread
Since moving to Australia I have become more and more interested in baking my own bread. When I was living in Italy, buying artisanal bread was easy and convenient. I never lived too far from a bakery. In fact, come to think of it, nobody lives more than a 5 minute walk from one, at…
Nutella Yogurt Cake
A tender crumb and melted Nutella give this Nutella Yogurt Cake a chocolatey finish that keeps each bite rich and satisfying.
Milan Guide – Italy

Creamy Pumpkin Soup
Come September and I start craving warm comforting food. It does not matter that we are in the middle of spring and the days are getting longer here in Australia. I have been living here for almost 10 years, but I think my mind will never get used to the reverse seasons. So, to satisfy…
Venice Guide – Italy
During our recent trip to Italy, we also visited Venice. As the girls had never been there, we thought it would be nice to show them around the most romantic city in the world!

Haru Cooking Class Kyoto – Japan Guide
One of the things I had on my “must-do” list for our Japan holiday was a cooking class. I have always been intrigued about learning other countries’ cuisines and Japanese food is one of my favourites. As we were spending 6 nights in Kyoto, I thought it would be the perfect place to try…

Vietnamese Pork Chops
Every September in Australia, the Prostate Cancer Foundation organises the Big Aussie Barbecue to raise awareness on prostate cancer. Not many of you know this, but my dad is battling this illness back in Italy and I thought I should do something too. So, I decided to organise an “online” event and I asked some of my…
