This week, the #SundaySupper bloggers are sharing recipes with ingredients that are hunted or foraged. This can include wild game or vegetarian options or also special ingredients that you have to source online or hunt down at specialty markets. I love the theme! As I regularly cook with ethnic ingredients (where for ethnic, I mean…
Meatballs in Tomato and Pecorino Romano Sauce
A few days ago, I reviewed an amazing kitchen appliance: the Toollio, a unique multi-function food processor that grinds and tenderises meat, grates cheese and bread, slices and chops vegetables and mozzarella, makes tomato purée… A true gem. As I promised, I am going to publish a few recipes that can give you a better idea…
Crespelle Cake with Broccoli
A few months ago, I shared with you the recipe for another Crespelle “cake” made with asparagus and I liked it so much that I decided to make it again using other vegetables. This time, it’s broccoli. I adore broccoli, it is one of my favourite vegetables. I have adapted a classic pairing of Italian cuisine…
Pomegranate Chicken Wings
Chicken wings are among my favourite appetisers or party food. They can be made in so many different ways and they always taste delicious. I love mine baked, but because I coat them in a little bit of flour and bake them for a long time, the skin becomes as crunchy as if they were fried, sans…
Sticky Date Pudding with Butterscotch Sauce
Soft, spongy Sticky Date Pudding with Butterscotch Sauce layered with warm caramel flavour and smooth texture, a dessert that melts in the mouth and stays tender even after baking.
Toollio Review
As you know, I love making things from scratch… I have tried my hands at making all kinds of pasta, liqueurs and even cheese. I must admit though that one of the things I like the most making from scratch is smallgoods and sausages. I like the fact that you can be very creative and…
Zucchini Flower and Stracchino Risotto
A few weeks ago, I went to the markets and managed to find some good deals. I bought a whole tray of artichokes for less than half the price they are usually sold at the grocery store and I was also lucky enough to find zucchini flowers. Zucchini flowers are very common in Italy and…
Carciofi alla Trapanese #SundaySupper
This week the Sunday Supper team is sharing recipes for lighter foods to balance out the indulgences that go along with all the feasting, parties and celebrations of the upcoming holiday season. And what better than artichokes to eat lighter, healthier but still delicious food? Did you know that the total antioxidant capacity of artichokes is one…
Broken Glass Cupcakes
These bloodyBroken Glass Cupcakes make a spooky Halloween centrepiece with shards of sugar glass and sticky “blood.” The soft pumpkin sponge and sweet buttercream taste every bit as wicked as they look.
Hot Tea Smoked Salmon
I must confess that I do not watch much TV. I used to watch many cooking shows before having kids, but nowadays… they “own” the remote. If the TV is on and the girls are home, they will chose what to watch. The weird thing is, I do not mind too much. There’s only one…
Sun-dried Tomato and Chickpea Maftoul Salad
A few months ago, I shared with you the recipe for Maftoul with Chicken, a traditional Palestinian dish. As you know I am part of the Daring Cooks and one of the challenges was to make Maftoul from scratch! So, what is Maftoul? I have seen it many times on the shelves of my local…
Homemade Salted Caramel Liqueur
Homemade Salted Caramel Liqueur tastes like a creamy dessert in a glass. Shake it into cocktails or sip it chilled.
Gulab Jamun
Happy Diwali! Tomorrow will mark the beginning of Diwali (दिवाली), the “festival of lights”, a 5-day Indian festival that celebrates the triumph of good over evil and light over darkness. Light is the symbol of the celebrations and many clay lamps filled with oil are lit during the 5 days of the festival. As you…
Nutella and Mascarpone Pie
Thick chocolate cream and roasted hazelnut flavour make Nutella and Mascarpone Pie rich, smooth, and the kind of dessert that makes you crave another slice.
Porcini Mushroom Vol au Vents
Vol au Vents, although originally from France, are widely used in Italy and even though they were probably more in fashion a few years ago, they are still often found on buffet tables and finger food dinners. I really like them. There is nothing better than biting into a crispy and flaky shell of puff…
Orchid and Chocolate Cupcakes
If you have been following Manu’s Menu for a while, you would have noticed that the site got a bit of a make-over. I have been thinking about changing the look of my blog for a while, but never really took the plunge… until now. There are still a few issues to fix and I…
Cheese Bitterballen
Crunchy on the outside and creamy in the middle, Cheese Bitterballen deliver crisp crumbs and hot, melted cheese in one rich, savoury mouthful.
Brutti ma Buoni
It’s been a while since I have posted one of my Regional Italian recipes, so I think it’s time to publish one. This is a recipe that is very dear to me, as it is one that we would often make at home when we had some egg whites left over from other recipes. It…
Saffron Gnocchi with Ham and Peas
Today it’s back to basics, with an Italian classic recipe… but with a twist. Ham and peas are a very common pairing and Italians love to use this combination in a pasta sauce. I love it too and it reminds me of when I was a child and I would often ask my mum to…
Marsala Gelato with Pumpkin Sauce
Today’s recipe is inspired by the month of October. I know I say this often, but to me getting used to what I still consider “reversed” seasons is almost impossible. So October is still autumn to me, even though down here we are in the middle of spring! That is why, I decided that combining…
Pan-Fried Pork Loin Cutlets
Crisp on the outside and tender in the middle, these Pan-Fried Pork Loin Cutlets are finished in savoury pan juices that coat every slice.
Condensed Milk and Coconut Cake
Moist, tender, and easy to make, this Condensed Milk and Coconut Cake combines creamy richness with subtle coconut flavour. It’s ideal for everyday baking or as a sweet weekend treat. My eldest daughter is all about coconut these days, and she definitely takes after her daddy when it comes to having a sweet tooth. She…
Homemade White Chocolate Liqueur
Level up your Christmas cocktails with Homemade White Chocolate Liqueur. One sip and the smooth, creamy sweetness will make you reach for it in every holiday drink.
EatNow Best Eats Awards 2014
A little while ago, I wrote a post about a home ordering website called EatNow. Today I am back with some exciting news, as they are running what I would define as the “dream competition” for any foodie. How would you like to visit and enjoy the amazing food of Italy or Morocco or Mexico? …
Momos in Ginger Broth
Juicy momos paired with fragrant ginger broth create Momos in Ginger Broth, a savoury dumpling soup with gentle spice and warmth in one savoury bowl.
Salted Caramel Chocolate Cookies
My girls are home for their spring holidays… a much needed break for everyone before the beginning of the last term of this school year. I cannot believe that my eldest daughter will soon be in year 2 and that my baby will start kindergarten in just a few short months! During the holidays we…
Burrata and Truffle Oil Risotto
Maybe not everyone is familiar with Burrata. It is a kind of fresh cheese typical of the Italian region of Apulia, in the south of the country. It is in fact a “composite” cheese as it is made of a mozzarella outer shell filled with soft mozzarella scraps and cream and then closed to form…
