For this week’s Sunday Supper, we had to come up with recipes with 5 or less ingredients. This could be a challenge, but one that I like! To tell you the truth, many Italian recipes have just few ingredients as we like to keep things simple, most of the time. This week though I really…

Chocolate Budino with Strawberry Hearts #SundaySupper
This week’s Sunday Supper event is all about Valentine’s Recipes For Two! So all the bloggers taking part to this event will post recipes for two. Don’t you just love it? I think it is a very clever idea! Obviously, if you want to make one of the dishes for more people, you can simply multiply…
Valentine’s Day Recipe Roundup
As Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, I thought of putting together a roundup of a few of my favourite recipes. It’s always hard to choose, as I like everything I publish (what I don’t like doesn’t get on this blog… ever!), but I think these are all fantastic ideas for a romantic dinner. Some…
DELIZIA ALL’AMARETTO
If you follow me on Facebook, Twitter or Google+, chances are you have already seen a picture of this cake. It was so delicious and it looked so pretty, that I couldn’t resist and gave everyone a sneak peek of it. We had if for our New Year lunch and it was very successful. It is…
BUTTERFLY CUPCAKES
My eldest daughter requested some cupcakes for her Tinkerbell birthday party. I love cupcakes, I think they are the cutest little things, but I was making a cake covered with fondant, serving marshmallows, chocolate and lots of other sugary items already. The thought of making frosted cupcakes too, was not really appealing to me. I…
CANESTRELLI
I am sure that you will agree with me on this: food and memories are linked. When I eat something, my brain starts remembering things connected to the taste I am enjoying. This happens to me all the time. Since moving to Australia though this connection has become somewhat stronger. It’s probably because I can…
2 YEAR BLOGIVERSARY!
Today we are celebrating my site’s 2nd blogiversary! It feels like yesterday that I sat down at my computer and created Manu’s Menu! I still remember all the research I did and all the hard work I put into figuring out all the technicalities that are behind these pages! I have always cooked, but working…
MAPLE PEAR MOUSSE SHOOTERS WITH CHOCOLATE AND HAZELNUTS
I love serving desserts in shooter glasses. I find them so cute and the best part is that you can eat them even at the end of a full meal without feeling too bad (or too full). Today’s recipe is very easy to make and it uses up some of the pears that are lying…
GNOCCO FRITTO
Today’s Regional Italian dish comes from the region of Emilia Romagna, an area where you find some of the best Italian food. Prosciutto di Parma, Mortadella, Culatello, Parmigiano Reggiano, Tortellini, just to name a few, all come from here. It is “foodie heaven” and I cannot recommend it enough for a taste of amazing Italian…
HOME-MADE BACI PERUGINA
Valentine’s Day is here. I know it has become a day “used” by many companies to sell stuff you may not buy otherwise, but I still like the idea of a day in which to exchange sweet gifts with the person you love (in Italy, friends are not included on this day… it is strictly…
ROSEWATER, CARDAMOM AND PISTACHIO CAKE – GUEST POST FROM DIVYA OF FLAVOUR FIESTA
As you probably know, I am enjoying some well-deserved R&R with my family and have organized a few guest posts for Manu’s Menu to leave you all in great company while I am gone. This is the last guest post for now as I will be back very soon, but I am already thinking of…

PIADINE WITH SWEET FILLINGS
Some time ago I shared with you my friend Marco’s recipe for piadine. They are a fantastic bread-like street food from Romagna in Italy, filled with all sorts of yummy goodies. I shared with you the recipe of a savory piadina filled with stracchino, prosciutto slices and rocket salad and I can tell you that…
PANINI AL LATTE – MILK PANINI
I guess we all have memories of our childhood birthdays… I was born in February which is often the month of Carnevale in Italy, so I used to have dress up birthday parties. It was a lot of fun. There would be games, prizes, music and lots of laughter! If I think back about the…
