Growing up I have always preferred Nutella over jam. However, I did make an exception for peach jam. I know you may be wondering why I am talking about peach jam when I have used apricot jam for this crostata. Well, the reason is simple: I can’t find peach jam at regular supermarkets here in…
Strawberry Chocolate Cupcakes
I made these Strawberry Chocolate Cupcakes for my youngest daughter’s birthday party… I can’t believe they were still sitting in my archive! Anyhow, if you remember, she had requested a Japanese/Doraemon themed-party, so I thought of decorating the cupcakes with little cherry blossoms made out of fondant. They were a hit, like cupcakes always are….
Guinness Brownies with Baileys Frosting
I have had this Guinness Brownies with Baileys Frosting recipe saved for a looooong time and I finally got to make it. And what better occasion than Saint Patrick’s Day? Isn’t this the quintessential Irish recipe? These brownies are amazing… so chocolatey and fudgy! The addition of Guinness only intensifies the deep chocolate flavour. They…
Dolci Pellegrino
Today I will share with you the recipe for Dolci Pellegrino, traditional lemon flavoured cookies from the city of Naples. Apparently these cookies, like many other Neapolitan and Sicilian sweets, were created by the nuns of a convent. These nuns were also helping out at the Pellegrini Hospital (thus the name) and would make these…
Triple Chocolate Mousse
I made this Triple Chocolate Mousse for Christmas and it’s been sitting in my archives ever since! I can’t believe how quickly time flies! I love all mousse and small portion desserts, so this recipe is an absolute keeper. Besides, who can say no to chocolate? This dessert is made up of 2 different mousses…
Pignoccata
Tomorrow is Mardi Gras or, as we Italians call it, Carnevale! Carnevale is a big thing in Italy and all kids dress up for almost a week and go on parades with all kinds of floats. It’s a little bit like “our Halloween”, when kids tell jokes, make pranks and throw coriandoli (coloured paper confetti)…
Blueberry Lavender Swirl Yogurt Popsicles
I LOVE frozen yogurt, don’t you? I love the tangy flavour of the yogurt and during a hot day, I find it extremely refreshing. Besides, when you are trying to eat low-fattish (is that even a word??), it is the best alternative to full fat ice cream. These Blueberry Lavender Swirl Yogurt Popsicles are so…
Nutella Dorayaki
If you follow me on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter you will know that I have been travelling through Japan! Unfortunately, we are now back home and trying to get readjusted to our usual routine. I will be sharing the details of my my trip as soon as I finish to sort out all the photos…
Biscotti della Tresca
I am very happy about today’s post. If you follow Manu’s Menu, you will know that this blog is all about authentic Italian food. I do share many modern Italian recipes, but what makes me really happy is the possibility to share more traditional not so famous recipes, and above all, regional recipes. Italian food…
Nutella Cheesecake with Nutella Ganache #WorldNutellaDay
Happy World Nutella Day everyone! As I am sure you have noticed from my latest Round-Up, I already have plenty of recipes that feature Nutella among the ingredients. I grew up eating it and I still love it. And so do my kids, so, World Nutella Day is a day we always celebrate happily. While…

Leftover Buttercream Cookies
I loooove today’s recipe: Leftover Buttercream Cookies! As you know, I hate to waste food and I love recipes that transform leftovers into new amazing dishes, and this one is a fantastic idea!
Double Chocolate Cupcakes
I made these Double Chocolate Cupcakes for my youngest daughter’s birthday party in December and they were a hit with both adults and kids alike. I must admit that I usually do not like buttercream, as it is usually way too sweet for my taste, but this chocolate version got me hooked! I guess it’s…
Blueberry Limoncello Yogurt Ciambellone
Don’t you think that Blueberry and Lemon is the perfect combination of flavours? I certainly do! And even more so when liquor is involved! This Limoncello Blueberry Yogurt Ciambellone is AMAZING in flavour and texture. The cake is fluffy and light with a good hint of lemon and the blueberry make it even more moist….
Almond Shortbread Cookies
I know we have probably over eaten during these holidays, but if you are still craving cookies (I always am!), I have the perfect recipe for you! I made these Almond Shortbread Cookies for a friend who is gluten intolerant. I was actually going to make my Flourless Chocolate and Pear Cake (which is AMAZING!),…
Italian Garlic Croissants
I hope you had a great New Year’s Eve and I wish you all a fantastic 2017! Today I will show you how to make Italian Garlic Croissants. This is another version of the Savoury Italian Croissants I already shared with you a while ago. Italian croissants – also known as Cornetti – can be…
Goan Marzipan
With today’s post, I will take you all back to India, Goa to be precise. A few days ago, I shared with you the recipe for Milk Cream – a delicious cashew nut and milk fudge, and today I am back with another Goan delicacy traditionally made for Christmas: Goan Marzipan. We all know what…
Milk Cream
Today I will take you all to India with me – to beautiful sunny Goa, to be precise – and I will show you how to make Milk Cream. Milk Cream is a cashew nut and milk fudge that is traditionally made by Goan Catholics for Christmas. It is very likely a local adaptation of…
Doraemon Cake
My youngest daughter turned 7 on the 1st of December. She fell in love with Doraemon when we visited Japan a couple of years ago and this year she requested a Japanese themed birthday party and a Doraemon cake! As I too love Japan and grew up watching Japanese anime (Doraemon included!), I was very…
Ham and Stracchino Pinwheels
I recently made these Ham and Stracchino Pinwheels and it was love at first bite! I think these will make it to our dinner table during the Holiday Season. They make a great addition to any buffet! I love anything made with puff pastry, but these pinwheels are special. The stracchino cheese is what sets…
Macine Cookies
Italians are not big on breakfast. Traditionally, we mainly have 2 kinds of breakfast and both of them are quite light (compared to the traditional full American breakfast with bacon and eggs): the one we have outside (al bar – at a café) and the one we have at home. At a café we usually…
Coffee Sables
I really love to bake cookies, especially this time of year. Yes, I know it’s hot in Australia and we do not get all the White Christmas vibes people in the Northern Hemisphere get right now, but I can still switch my oven own thanks to my air-con! So, I don’t give up baking cookies!…
