During our trip to Chile and Argentina, we stayed 3 separate nights in the city if Salta, in Argentina’s North West. We didn’t stay for 3 consecutive days but used Salta as a “stop-over” in between other destinations during our road trip in the region.

Edible Christmas Gifts 2017 Round Up
I can’t believe it is almost Christmas already! It feels like yesterday that I put away last year’s Christmas decorations! Anyhow, I won’t complain. At the end of the day, it is still my favourite time of the year. Minus the Christmas shopping, that is. I find that stressful… So, I often make Edible Christmas…
Jigokudani Monkey Park Guide – Japan
While organising our latest holiday in Japan, I saw photos of some monkeys bathing in a hot tub somewhere in Japan. The monkeys looked incredibly cute, so I did some research and saw that the photos were taken at Jigokudani Monkey Park in Yamanouchi, not far from the onsen towns of Shibu Onsen and Yudanaka….

6 Year Blogiversary
Today Manu’s Menu turns 6! I almost can’t believe it’s been that long! And what an incredible journey it has been! I have learnt so much along the way (have a look at one of my first posts’ pictures!) and I have met, although mainly virtually, many amazing people.
Chestnut Bread Rolls
I love baking bread at home and what I like the most is experimenting with different flours and flavour combinations (remember my Spelt and Hazelnut Bread?). My absolute favourite bread still remains my quick Ciabatta, but these Chestnut Bread Rolls are a must-try addition to your holiday menu. Italians often use chestnuts in our cooking,…
Rava Ladoo
Happy Diwali! Sunday will mark the beginning of Diwali (दिवाली), the “festival of lights”, a 5-day Indian festival that celebrates the triumph of good over evil and light over darkness. Light is the symbol of the celebrations and many clay lamps filled with oil are lit during the 5 days of the festival. As part…
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…
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!…
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…
Flourless Peanut Butter 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. It is a great concept… each month you are assigned a participating food blogger to make a…
Kyoto Guide – Japan
The other day, I was reading the news when a photo stole my attention. It was the image of a geisha standing on a red bridge and holding a paper umbrella. I immediately knew the picture was taken in Kyoto. In fact, the article stated that Kyoto was recently crowned the most beautiful city…
Victoria’s 8th Birthday
On the 16th my eldest daughter turned 8!!! I cannot believe it’s been 8 years already since the first time I got to hold her in my arms. She was so tiny! <3 And now she is turning into a beautiful girl. We love you so much princess and we are all very proud…
Super Bowl Roundup
Today’s post is not about 1 recipe. As Super Bowl is approaching, I thought to make a list of the best party food MsM has to offer. Being Italian, I do not follow football… but I enjoy some good soccer. And a good spread during a game! In this post I am going to give…
4 Year Blogiversary!
Today Manu’s Menu turns 4! I barely can believe it’s already been 4 years since I started blogging. At times it feels like yesterday, but when I look at my first posts, I do notice that I have come a long way. I have learnt a lot of “technical stuff” and I have definitely improved…
Chorizo en Salsa
If you follow me on Facebook, you will know that this year we hosted a little New Year’s Eve party at our place. We had a Spanish theme.
