A little while ago I shared with you the recipe of my family equivalent of a Sunday Roast: Falsomagro and I have already talked about how hard it is to reproduce certain dishes when moving from one country to another (or to the other side of the world, like in my case). You can find all…
BUSIATI WITH EGGPLANT AND GARLIC & THYME BREADCRUMBS
Today’s dish is a recipe I came up with a little while ago. Do you ever have a day when you want to use up ingredients that are taking too much place in your pantry or fridge? It happens quite often to me and when it does, I take them all out, put them on…
ROASTED CHERRY 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. Each month you are assigned a participating food blogger to make a recipe from and in turn…
Dulce de Leche Macarons
Light, chewy, and filled with soft caramel, Dulce de Leche Macarons are a joy to bake and even better to share with someone who loves sweet things.
Salame Cotto
Tender, flavourful, and delicately seasoned, Salame Cotto fits beautifully on grazing boards, in sandwiches, or simply enjoyed as slices on the board.
CHOCOLATE, ESPRESSO AND CHILLI MOUSSE
Have you already decided what to serve to your loved one tomorrow? If you haven’t, or are still undecided, look no further. I think I may have the answer for that, at least as far as dessert goes. I have always wanted to try and make something with chocolate and chilli… I know, it sounds…
Meat-Filled Apulian Panzerotti
Soft fried dough and a rich filling make Meat-Filled Apulian Panzerotti traditional Italian turnovers filled with savoury beef, pork, Pecorino Romano, and mozzarella.
FORTUNE COOKIES
Tomorrow we celebrate the Chinese New Year: 新年快乐! As I live in a city with a huge Chinese community, I feel it right to celebrate this special day, even though I do not have any Chinese heritage. In fact, one of the places where I took my parents when they were visiting us from Italy,…
GORGONZOLA FILLED POTATO GNOCCHI WITH BUTTER AND SAGE
When I saw these gnocchi, I could not resist. If you follow this site, I am sure you know that yours truly is a gorgonzola-holic (?!) and just the thought of biting into soft pillowy potato gnocchi to find a gorgonzola treasure made my mouth water. I must admit I had never even contemplated filling gnocchi, but…
Fried Nutella
With frozen Nutella, crushed cornflakes, and coconut, Fried Nutella fries up crisp and golden, with a warm chocolate-hazelnut centre inside.
Beef Carpaccio with Grana Padano and Rocket
Silky, paper-thin beef dressed in bright lemon and smooth olive oil makes Beef Carpaccio with Grana Padano and Rocket feel fresh and effortlessly simple.
CHICKEN STIR FRY WITH CASHEW NUTS
I have a thing for Thai food. I confess. And of all Thai food, chicken with cashew nuts is my absolute favourite. I still remember the first time I ate it: I was on holiday in Port Douglas with my husband and that’s where I had my first meal in a “real” Thai restaurant. For…
Pasta con le Sarde alla Palermitana
The combination of raisins, sardines, warm spices, and pine nuts makes this Pasta con le Sarde alla Palermitana unbelievably satisfying. Add breadcrumbs on top for a next-level finish.
LAMB TAJINE WITH QUINCES
When I feel like having some comfort food, I often make stews. Just the aroma of a stew cooking on the stove (or in the oven) has a somewhat relaxing and almost therapeutic effect. When I make a stew on a rainy day, even the bad weather seems more bearable and from annoying, it becomes captivating and…
TRUFFLE HONEY & VANILLA CRÈME BRÛLÉE
A little while ago, my husband and I went out to have dinner at a delightful restaurant called Chophouse. We ate really well and I was particularly impressed by their Wagyu Tartare with truffle aioli, pear, pine nuts & white soy dressing and by their Wagyu Striploin with harissa… divine! Also, I was pleasantly surprised…
SAUSAGE AND FENNEL RISOTTO
I don’t think I have said this before, but when I was expecting my eldest daughter, I used to have very strong savoury cravings and risotto was always on the top of my list! The great thing about risotto is that it is like a white canvas that you can paint with any flavour you…
SWORDFISH INVOLTINI IN TOMATO SAUCE
Swordfish involtini are a very common dish in Sicily and they are also one of my favourite recipes for fish! A little while ago I already shared with you the recipe of how to make Baked Swordfish Involtini. Today I am going to show you an alternative way of cooking them. This is my mom’s…
SPLIT-SECOND COOKIES
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. Each month you are assigned a participating food blogger to make a recipe from and in turn…
ADORA’S PORK WITH GARLIC, ONIONS AND CHILLI
I love this recipe! I have discovered this beauty on Adora’s Box a little over a year ago (thank you Adora!) and the whole family got hooked. Needless to say, I have made it many times already as it is the perfect midweek dinner: quick, but delicious! I have slightly modified Adora’s recipe as I…
RICOTTA, PEAR AND HAZELNUT VERRINES
I came across this recipe while looking for a new way to finish off some pears I had left over on my kitchen counter. I love all kinds of mousses and little servings… they are not completely “guilt-free”, but they surely are better than a huge slice of cake (not that there’s anything wrong with…
2 YEAR BLOGIVERSARY!
Today we are celebrating my site’s 2nd blogiversary! It feels like yesterday that I sat down at my computer and created Manu’s Menu! I still remember all the research I did and all the hard work I put into figuring out all the technicalities that are behind these pages! I have always cooked, but working…
BEEF SCHIACCIATINA
This is one of my “go to” recipes for a quick, yet delicious mid week meal. Schiacciatina means “something small that has been pressed”, and it is basically a very flat burger made with only ground beef, Parmigiano Reggiano, salt and pepper. My mum used to make this often for me as a child. I…
WHITE CHOCOLATE PANNA COTTA SHOOTERS WITH RASPBERRY COULIS
If you are not new on this site, you will know that I love all desserts that you can eat with a spoon: mousses, creams, trifles… and panna cotta! I also like individual servings and I have been making these panna cotta shooters for a while now. I often take them to friends’ houses for…
PINEAPPLE & COCONUT GLAZED PORK SPARE RIBS
Today’s post is a “fight-against-waste” recipe! I had a nice rack of pork spare ribs in the freezer, so I gathered all the left overs I had in my fridge and built up a recipe from there. I also did some research on the web and saw I could make something yummy out of these…
Pasteis de Bacalhau
Warm, crisp, and savoury, Pasteis de Bacalhau make an easy addition to any meal. Serve them with lemon wedges or a green salad for a light, balanced plate that always feels satisfying.
CHESTNUT GNOCCHI VALCHIAVENNA STYLE
Today’s Regional Italian recipe comes from the region I grew up in: Lombardy. To be precise, this recipe is from Valchiavenna, an Alpine valley to the north of Lake Como. It is a truly beautiful area and the food you can eat there is genuine and very much linked to the territory and local produce. …
HONEY CHICKEN
I must admit I had never eaten honey chicken before moving to Australia. I do not recall seeing it on the menu of any Chinese restaurants in Milano and I am not even sure whether it is an original Chinese dish. All I know is that I was hooked to it from the first time…
