Vegan Wholemeal Banana Bread
If you follow Manu’s Menu more or less regularly, you may know that I have recently found out that I am lactose intolerant.

This Vegan Wholemeal Banana Bread is one of the first attempts at…
Pumpkin Jam
Have you ever had Pumpkin Jam? I personally love it and I also love the fact that it is really easy to make. This version also has a hint of freshly grated ginger to it, and I think it works really well with the pumpkin flavour. You can use this jam to make tarts, pies,…
White Chocolate Almond Fudge
My husband adores both white chocolate and condensed milk (yes, he has a very sweet tooth!), so I am always looking at ways to use these ingredients together.

Pineapple Vanilla Jam
The first time I had this delicious Pineapple Vanilla Jam I was in Tahiti. The islands abound in both pineapples and vanilla, so to them is a normal combination. However, to my Italian taste buds it wasn’t and I was literally blown away but how good these two flavours were together! This jam has become…
Cardamom Rum Banana Bread
I must admit I am not big on breakfast. Italians, in general, don’t have heavy breakfasts. We usually havbreakfastse (espresso) and cookies or a croissant.

Lemon and Oil Cakes
I absolutely love lemon-based desserts. I am not sure if it’s an age thing, but lately, they have become m, favourite and I like them even more than chocolate-based desserts! If you had told me this a few years ago, I would have never believed it could happen! These Lemon and Oil are delicious and…

Coconut Banana Mandarin Smoothie
I don’t know about you, but I always seem to have overripe bananas in my kitchen! I try and buy them more on the green side, but they always ripen way too fast! I often make banana bread (check this one out – it is my absolute favourite!), but this time I felt like having…

Peach Jam
Peach jam has always been a favourite of mine. If you have read my Apricot Jam Crostata post though, you may remember that I was complaining about the fact that I can’t find any at a normal supermarket. I have no idea why that is.
Chocolate Chip Buns
My kids love chocolate. I think most kids do, wouldn’t you agree? I had some chocolate chips I wanted to get rid of in my pantry, so I thought of making these Chocolate Chip Buns. They are perfect for breakfast, and even more so to give to kids to eat at school. I am always…
