With Valentine’s Day coming up, what could be better than a chocolate recipe? Well, a Salted Caramel AND Chocolate recipe, right? And these lava cakes are perfect for such a special occasion. So much so that this recipe is for 2. I love all lava cakes (remember this Molten White Chocolate Pudding?) and I admit…
Cherry Tomato and Halloumi Bites
Crisp Cherry Tomato and Halloumi Bites with a gentle lemon aroma make outdoor meals feel easy and bright, ready in minutes for casual barbecues.
Angelica Cake with Nutella
Sara from Ms. Adventures in Italy and Michelle from Bleeding Espresso have declared February 5th “World Nutella Day 2015″ – “a day to celebrate, to get creative with, and most importantly, to EAT Nutella”. Raise your hand if you like Nutella!!! It’s got quite a few fans in my house! So, World Nutella Day is always awelcome around…
Artichoke Frittata
While growing up, Saturday lunch was usually a frittata at my place. My mum has always loved frittata and it was a good weekly break from our pasta, fish and meat meals. I used to go to school on Saturdays (yep, we used to go to school 6 days a week…) and I would come…
Swordfish and Pistachio Pasta
Pasta, finally. You know that, even though I am Italian, I don’t share pasta recipes as much as I’d like. The main reason is that I don’t like to take pictures of pasta. There, I said it. When I take the shots for my blog, I don’t like to be rushed and I prefer to…
Super Bowl Roundup
Today’s post is not about 1 recipe. As Super Bowl is approaching, I thought to make a list of the best party food MsM has to offer. Being Italian, I do not follow football… but I enjoy some good soccer. And a good spread during a game! In this post I am going to give…
Asian Chicken Sliders with Sriracha Mayo
This weekend is all about Super Bowl food, so if you are like me and LOVE the kind of food that is served for such sporting events, you are in for a big treat! As you know, I don’t follow football and not living in the USA, also means no Super Bowl… but Italians are…
Vanilla Cupcakes with Jasmine Buttercream
I must admit that this is one of those recipes that came about by chance. Actually, it was created out of… leftovers. I once made my Lavender and Jasmine Macarons and did not use all the Jasmine buttercream. I had no intention of throwing it out and, even though the temptation was quite strong, I resisted…
Passion Fruit Liqueur
Bright, tangy, and tropical, this homemade Passion Fruit Liqueur brings a splash of sunshine to every glass. Its golden colour and balanced flavour make it ideal for sipping, gifting, or cocktails.
Home-made Condensed Milk
The other day I got a comment from a reader asking for a substitute for condensed milk, which is not easily available in her country. So, here comes the solution: Home-made Condensed Milk.
Pumpkin Risotto with Gorgonzola Sauce
Today I am back with a typical Italian recipe. This is a dish that well represents Lombardy, the region where I was born. Milan is very famous for its risotto and pumpkin is often used in our cooking. Gorgonzola, my favourite cheese ever, is a blue cheese originally from the town of Gorgonzola, very close…
Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies
It is time again for the “Secret recipe club” reveal! I am sure you all know what the club is about, but for the few of you who still don’t know about it, here goes a brief explanation. It is a great concept… each month you are assigned a participating food blogger to make a…
Chicken Spring Rolls
A platter of Chicken Spring Rolls is always a crowd favourite. Crisp, savoury, and easy to dip, they make entertaining stress-free and delicious.
4 Year Blogiversary!
Today Manu’s Menu turns 4! I barely can believe it’s already been 4 years since I started blogging. At times it feels like yesterday, but when I look at my first posts, I do notice that I have come a long way. I have learnt a lot of “technical stuff” and I have definitely improved…
Crema Catalana
Milk puddings and custards are slowly replacing chocolate as my favourite kind of dessert. While I used to always order anything with the word chocolate written on the menu when eating out, I have recently discovered that I prefer different flavoured creamy desserts. One that I have always loved (even during my chocoholic years) is…
Pineapple Mojito
I made this Pineapple Mojito to serve to my friends on New Year’s Eve as an aperitivo, just to start things off before we sat down for dinner. We had a Spanish theme that night and I know Mojito is not a Spanish cocktail, but I made a little exception as it is one of…
Chorizo en Salsa
If you follow me on Facebook, you will know that this year we hosted a little New Year’s Eve party at our place. We had a Spanish theme. And this Chorizo in Salsa was one of the dishes I served!
Quick No- Knead Ciabatta Bread
A couple of weeks ago, I shared a few photos of this bread on MsM’s facebook page and did get quite a few requests for the recipe, both online and via email. So, here you have it: quick no-knead Ciabatta bread! It is a really simple recipe and, unlike other no-knead bread recipes, it is also…
Cubbaita
Tomorrow is a very special day for all Italian children, as we celebrate the day of the Epiphany and the visitation of the Biblical Magi to the baby Jesus. The night between January 5th and 6th is the night of Befana, who, in Italian folklore, is “an old woman who fills children’s stockings with candy…
Carciofi in Pinzimonio
I grew up in a family of artichoke lovers. Every week, in winter, my parents would buy plenty of artichokes at the local market and we would eat them in all sorts of ways. I have already shared a few recipes and ideas on what to do with this delicious vegetable, and today I am…
Chocolate Cake with Zabaione
Hello and Happy New Year everyone! This is my first post for 2015 and to celebrate the beginning of a new year, it just had to be a dessert… and a chocolate one at that. This is a very easy and moist chocolate cake, made with very little flour. It is not too sweet, and…
Sweet Dreams Cocktail
Start the New Year with something sweet. Bailey’s, Kahlua, and Malibu blend perfectly in this creamy Sweet Dreams Cocktail that’s made for toasting with friends. Are you ready for New Year’s Eve? I’m still adjusting the menu, I always do! Right up until a few hours before the guests arrive, I usually end up changing…
Salted Caramel Nutella Hot Chocolate
After sharing the recipe for my baked Cinnamon Apples, which make for a healthy snack, I am back today with something more… festive. It is the holiday season and I think it calls for a little indulgence, before we get back to our everyday cooking and eating. So what better time than this to enjoy…
Cinnamon Apple Chips
During the Christmas holidays, we all tend to eat a lot. And we also snack a lot more than during other times of the year. I find it easier to snack on healthy food and fresh fruits here in Australia, as it is summer, but for all my friends and family up in the Northern…
Pandoro
Celebrate the holidays with soft, golden Pandoro, a buttery sweet bread that fills your kitchen with vanilla and warmth. Slice, dust with icing sugar, and enjoy a simple Christmas tradition at home.
Mozzarella and Sun dried Tomato Pork Sausage
If you follow Manu’s Menu, you must remember that a few weeks ago, I reviewed the Toollio, an amazing multi-function kitchen appliance. Since then, I have been using the Toollio regularly and sharing some recipes that show how versatile this machine is and today, I will be posting the last recipe of this little series. Among the…
Lime and Macadamia Nut Bark
Can you believe that I had never made chocolate bark before?? I know, so weird, especially considering that I am a chocoholic! In my defence, I must say that it is not something we usually make in Italy. For Christmas, we mostly make nougat. But bark is so good, so versatile and, let’s face it,…
