Baked Witlof with Ham and Swiss Emmenthal

BAKED WITLOF WITH HAM AND SWISS EMMENTAL

Today I want to share with you the recipe for a comforting side dish.  I love witlof (endive) and I usually eat it raw, but when I saw this recipe, I coud not resist and I had to try it.  It was fantastic and I will definitely make it again.  It could be a good…

Rösti - Roesti

RÖSTI – ROESTI

The Daring Cooks’ February 2012 challenge was hosted by Audax & Lis and they chose to present Patties for their ease of construction, ingredients and deliciousness! We were given several recipes, and learned the different types of binders and cooking methods to produce our own tasty patties! When I read this month’s announcement I was…

TUSCAN CABBAGE SOUP

Today I am going to share with you the recipe for one of my favourite soups.  I know it’s summer here, but to tell you the truth, it has been a rather unusual summer… quite cool and rainy.  And I am thankful for that as it makes it easier to have a healthy and tasty…

FALAFEL

The first time I ate falafel I was in Paris… as it often happened with Middle Eastern food that was almost unknown in Italy.  I am talking about 20+ years ago!  I still remember the shop I bought them from.  It was near Place des Vosges, in my favourite area of town: the Marais, which…

RASCATURE

This dish was not originally included in my proposal to Foodbuzz for my 24×24 event on Sicilian Street Food New Year’s Eve Party: it was a spur of the moment decision.  As they turned out great, I am sharing the recipe with you as well!  It is really not a recipe per se, but it…

Cazzilli - Crocchè di patate

CAZZILLI – CROCCHÈ DI PATATE

I love all potato croquettes! My mum used to make them often, even though she makes them differently (I will share her recipe too as soon as possible). These, instead, are exactly like the ones you can buy on the streets of Palermo and they were on the top of my list for the Sicilian…

MIXED SALAD WITH YOGHURT AND SAFFRON DRESSING

This recipe will help you to spice up your salad with a low fat and delicious dressing.  Yes, you read that right… low fat and delicious were used in the same sentence!  It is low fat as it is a yoghurt based dressing and it is delicious thanks to the addition of saffron and curry…

PASTA CON FAGIOLI BORLOTTI – PASTA IN A BORLOTTI BEAN SOUP

Today I want to share with you the recipe of my favourite soup ever: pasta with beans, or pasta e fagioli as we say in Italian.  Whenever I make it, I go back in time.  When I was a child, my mom would make it often during the cold winters in Milano and it is…

Pasta with sausage, artichokes and saffron

PASTA WITH SAUSAGE, ARTICHOKES AND SAFFRON

We all love sausage in our family. When I say sausage I am referring to the Italian style sausage made of pure pork. I am lucky enough to find some good quality Italian style sausage in Sydney, nonetheless I often make it at home from scratch, as nothing beats home-made things (I used my home-made…

PASTA CON I BROCCOLI ARRIMINATI – PASTA CHI VRUOCCULI ARRIMINATI

As I have announced in my Vitello Tonnato post, I have decided to dedicate one post a week to Italian cooking, focussing each time on a different region.  There are so many fantastic traditional recipes in Italy that it can be a daunting job to choose from them, but I am having lots of fun…

VICHYSSOISE

I love soups and used to eat plenty when living in Italy.  Winter in Milan can be very cold, rainy and sometimes snowy… So a good hot soup was a great dish to have on one of those cold evenings.  Since moving here though, I have not felt the need to have soup as much…

CHEESY GRITS WITH CHICKEN AND SPICY PAN ROASTED MUSHROOMS – GUEST POST FROM SANDRA OF SANDRA’S EASY COOKING

As you know, I am currently on vacation for a few days and I have decided to ask a few of my favourite foodie friends to write some guest posts for Manu’s Menu while I am away.  I am so excited to introduce the second guest of this series!  She is one of the most…

CORSICAN STUFFED COURGETTES – GUEST POST FROM JILL OF MAD ABOUT MACARONS

If you follow me regularly, you may know that I am off for a short holiday with my family for some well deserved R&R.  While I am gone, I thought I would leave you in good company.  I have wanted to host some guests on Manu’s Menu for a while and this sounded like the…

CHICKEN SHAWARMA – COOK AROUND THE GLOBE

I often associate memories with food (or food with memories?) and eating kebab always reminds me of Paris.  Strange, eh? Well, not so much.  As I have already mentioned in my post on Fried Rice, foreign food restaurants and eateries were not so common while I was growing up in Italy.  And that too in…

RED ONION TARTE TATIN

This recipe was one of the first recipes that I had decided to try out when I bought the recipe book in which it was published.  And then, for one reason or another, I never got around to making it.  The other day I was looking for another recipe and I saw this one.  I…

CURRY PUFFS

I love Thai food.  It is the first Asian cuisine I learnt to enjoy.  I love everything about it: textures, flavours, spices, smells… the full package.  Whenever we go out to eat Thai, curry puffs are always among the appetisers we order.  I love these crunchy little parcels of fried pastry filled with all kinds…

POTATO, SPECK AND LEEK PARCELS

In my opinion, there is no better side dish for a steak than potatoes, in whatever shape or form, so I knew I had to make some to go with the Beef fillet roast that I prepared for my Foodbuzz 24×24 Christmas in July event.  The thing is, when you are making a special meal, you want…

ORANGE, FENNEL AND BLACK OLIVE SALAD AND AWARDS

My series of posts dedicated to my Foodbuzz 24×24 Christmas in July event is back after a few days’ break and 2 guest posts!  Thank you again Kankana from Sunshine & Smile and Erin from Big Fat Baker!  This is a typical Christmas salad as it is made with winter ingredients, but I love it all…

ARTICHOKE AND RICOTTA MEZZELUNE ON A PARMIGIANO REGGIANO FONDUE

This stuffed pasta dish is the second of my series of posts dedicated to my Foodbuzz 24×24 Christmas in July event.  Italians always have some sort of stuffed pasta at Christmas, especially at their Christmas Eve dinner (at this meal we traditionally do not eat meat).  This does not mean the meal is light though! …

FOODBUZZ 24×24: CHRISTMAS IN JULY

Since I moved to Australia from Italy 5 years ago I haven’t gotten used to the “reversed” seasons yet.  For someone who has spent the majority of her life in the Northern hemisphere where it is summer in July and winter in December, I have to live with the seasons reversed and believe me, it…

ORECCHIETTE CON VERDURA RIPASSATA – ORECCHIETTE WITH SPICY VEGGIES

Steph from Stephfood was our Daring Cooks‘ July hostess.  Steph challenged us to make homemade noodles without the help of a motorized pasta machine.  She provided us with recipes for Spätzle and Fresh Egg Pasta as well as a few delicious sauces to pair our noodles with!  Needless to say I couldn’t have been more…

SWEET AND SOUR PUMPKIN WITH GARLIC AND MINT

This is a very versatile dish: it makes a great side dish for meats, but it can also be eaten as an appetizer or finger food on some toasted ciabatta.  It is my family’s favourite vegetable dish.  We all like its sweet and sour taste and I usually make a lot of it and keep…
