As you know, I have always had a big connection with France. My parents have always loved the country, especially Paris, so we visited at least once a year while I was growing up. Luckily, France is quite close to Milan, so the trips were easy. That said, I have always enjoyed French food… I…
Kinder Cereali
Since moving to Australia 10 years ago (!), there are many things I am not able to eat as they are not sold here. In all this time, I have learnt how to make some of these things like sofficini or pizzoccheri for example. Today’s recipe is another one of such items: Kinder Cereali. It…
Pa Amb Tomaquet
This week Manu’s Menu will feature 3 Spanish recipes! I love Spain and Spanish food is among my all time favourite! It is also very close to Italian, and even more so to Sicilian, food, so I guess it would be very hard for me not to love it! Let’s start with a very simple…
Cinnamon Coconut Loaf
I love coffee cakes or sweet loaves. It’s not something Italian – actually, it’s not Italian at all – but I really enjoy a slice of sweet bread for breakfast or with my cup of tea in the afternoon. This Cinnamon Coconut Loaf is moist, fluffy and airy and with a delicious cinnamon flavour. The…
Strawberry Lemon Cream Scones
I must confess I had never had “flavoured” scones before. Whenever I have eaten scones, it’s always been the traditional British kind, filled with jam and cream. I LOVE those! A little while ago, we were invited to celebrate the first birthday of the son of some close friends of ours. He is the CUTEST!…
Peanut Butter Nutella Banana Bites
Today’s recipe is a really quick and simple snack idea. These Peanut Butter Nutella Banana Bites are perfect to satisfy any sweet cravings you or your kids may have, as it is relatively healthy. The base of the dish is fruits after all… 😉 You can dose the ingredients as per your taste, so I haven’t put…
Sweet Yogurt Burek
I discovered today’s recipe by chance. I had some filo pastry in my fridge that begged to be used before drying out and some yogurt that was close to its expiry date. So I was delighted to be able to put them together in this delicious Sweet Yogurt Burek. But what is Burek? It is…
White Chocolate and Violet Truffles
When my parents were here for Christmas, the brought me some Violet essence that they had bought in France. I love to use flower essences in desserts. Jasmine is my favourite, but Orchid and Violet are a close second. Remember the recipe for my Jasmine and Mango Panna Cotta Shooters? And how about my Orchid…
Affogato al Caffe
Today’s recipe is very simple. I am not even sure it can be considered a “recipe” per se, as you don’t really have to cook anything for it. However, Affogato al Caffe is a traditional Italian dessert that deserves to be on this blog, which is all about traditional Italian food! I personally love it…
Baked Nutella Iris
Today I will take you all to Sicily, once again! Sicilian street food is among the best food in the whole world. Besides, you can find everything: desserts, snacks, savoury treats and even pasta in street food form! I am not joking, it is that awesome. I would actually go as far as to say…
Fiordilatte Gelato #SundaySupper
Welcome to this week’s #SundaySupper event! This Sunday the #SundaySupper team has organised an Italian Fest! Being Italian, when the Italian theme was announced, I knew I had to host it. This is the first #SundaySupper event I host and I am really excited, especially since it will be showcasing some amazing Italian food! I am very excited about today’s recipe…
Aloo Tikki Chaat
I am really happy to share today’s recipe on the blog as it is one of my all time favourite Indian dishes: Aloo Tikki Chaat. But what is it exactly? Chaat is a term that describes savory snacks, typically served on the road from stalls or food carts… street food basically. And you know how…
Aloo Tikki
Today’s recipe is a delicious Indian appetiser. Well, it’s more like a snack really, but it is also served as an appetiser at restaurants. I personally love Aloo Tikki and I often make them at home. You could say that they are the Indian version of potato croquettes and they are packed with flavour thanks…
Marzipan Lambs
Today’s recipe is a classic Sicilian sweet that is made and eaten to celebrate Easter. In Italian these delicious treats are called Pecorelle di Pasqua or Agnelli Pasquali which literally mean Easter Lambs. As they are made out of marzipan, I thought that Marzipan Lambs would be a better translation… at the end of the…
Eggless Thandai Cookies
Today, Indians celebrate Holi, the festival of spring, also known as the festival of colours. Holi represents the victory of good over evil and the arrival of spring, but for many people it’s also an opportunity to make peace and start afresh. During this time, people play tricks and colour each other with dry powder…
Eggless Chocolate Salami
I am very excited about today’s recipe! You may remember that, a few months ago, I shared the recipe for the classic Chocolate Salami. That’s the recipe I grew up eating and it will always have a special place in my heart. However, after publishing it, I got many requests for an eggless version. As…
Passion fruit Possets
I discovered possets only recently, when I made a Lemon and Lavender version for my daughter’s 8th birthday party. I had never even heard of possets before, but when I read the recipe, I knew I would love them. It’s an English dessert that is perfect for tea time. Possets are quite similar to panna…
Spelt and Raspberry Baci di Dama
“I thought I’d start this blog by posting the recipe of my all time favourite cookies. Their name means “lady’s kisses” because their shape resembles a kiss. They are originally from Turin, in the Piedmont region of Italy.” These were the very first lines I wrote on Manu’s Menu, 5 years ago! The first recipe…
Tagliatelle Dolci di Carnevale
If you follow Manu’s Menu, you will know that Mardi Gras, or Carnevale for us Italians, is my favourite time of the year! Carnevale is quite big in Italy and all kids dress up for almost a week and go on parades with all kinds of floats. There are many famous Carnevali in Italy, like…
Nutellotti #WorldNutellaDay
Sara from Ms. Adventures in Italy and Michelle from Bleeding Espresso have declared February 5th “World Nutella Day″ – “a day to celebrate, to get creative with, and most importantly, to EAT Nutella”.
Honeycomb
Tomorrow we celebrate Australia Day, the official National Day of Australia. The 26th of January, in fact, marks the anniversary of the 1788 arrival of the First Fleet of British Ships at Port Jackson, New South Wales. Nowadays, the celebrations reflect our diverse society and are marked by community and family events. It is a…
Yogurt Plumcake
Today I am going to share with you a recipe from my childhood. While growing up in Italy, the morning treats I liked the most were small yogurt plumcakes sold by a famous Italian brand. I am not sure how this cake got its name, being that there are no plums in it… but it…
