Kawaguchiko was the first place we visited after leaving Tokyo. We had always wanted to see Mount Fuji, but when we visited Japan in 2015 we had to leave it out of our already too busy schedule. So, this time we made sure to include it in our itinerary. Read my Kawaguchiko Guide for great…

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.
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…
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…
A #SundaySupper Italian Fest
If you are here it is because, like me, you like Italian food, so I am sure you will love the piece of news I am about to share with you! This Sunday the #SundaySupper team will be organising an Italian Fest! Being Italian, when the Italian theme was announced, I knew I had to…
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…
5 Year Blogiversary
Today Manu’s Menu turns 5! Time really does fly when you are having fun! And during the past 5 years, I sure had a lot of it. I also learnt so much along the way (try and look at one of my first posts’ photography!) and met, although mainly virtually, many amazing people.
Lemon and Lavender Possets
I made these Lemon and Lavender Possets for my daughter’s 8th birthday party. I must confess I had never heard of possets before, but when I read the recipe, I knew I HAD to make them. It’s an English dessert that I thought would work well for the High Tea theme of the party. Possets…
Biancomangiare with Citrus Salad
Today’s recipe is all about Sicily. Last week I shared with you the recipe for Sicilian Almond Milk, a deliciously sweet drink. Besides drinking it plain, it also makes a great base for desserts like Biancomangiare. Biancomangiare (where bianco means “white” and mangiare means “to eat”) is a traditional Italian pudding and in its Sicilian version it…

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…
Orchid and Chocolate Cupcakes
If you have been following Manu’s Menu for a while, you would have noticed that the site got a bit of a make-over. I have been thinking about changing the look of my blog for a while, but never really took the plunge… until now. There are still a few issues to fix and I…
Salted Caramel Gelato #SundaySupper
This week the Sunday Supper team is sharing recipes for food that is served cold… as the majority of the group is based in the Northern hemisphere and it is a hot summer up there at the moment. It has actually been quite cold down here lately. I do not mind it one bit though, as…
Panino con la Salamella #SundaySupper
Today the Sunday Supper group is inviting everyone to a big Virtual Picnic! It is summer in the Northern hemisphere and a picnic is in order. Even for us down here, stuck in the coldest months of the year, picnic food is fun and always great to pin and bookmark. I love “dreaming” of summer time and…
Easter Recipe Roundup
Today’s post is not a recipe. As the title suggests, I will share with you my favourite recipes for Easter. In the Northern Hemisphere, Easter is in spring and many Easter dishes are linked to spring both in produce used and in theme. While we are in autumn down under, the people who migrated from…
Bomboloni alla Crema
Happy Mardi Gras everyone! As promised in my last post about Ravioli di Carnevale, I am back with yet another delicious treat that is perfect to make and eat this time of the year: Bomboloni alla Crema – aka Italian doughnuts filled with pastry cream. To be truthful, Italians eat Bomboloni all year round, but…
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…
Super Bowl Recipe 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. I am no football fan. In fact, I have never seen a whole match. I do however follow soccer and when it comes to cheering for your favourite…
3 YEAR BLOGIVERSARY!
Today we are celebrating my site’s 3rd blogiversary! It feels like yesterday that I started blogging. I still remember how hard it was to choose a name for the blog. I wanted something catchy, but easy to remember… and I wanted something that represented me. That’s how Manu’s Menu came about: I liked the way…
MANGO, COCONUT AND JASMINE VERRINES
Sometimes I see the picture of a dish and I just can’t get it off my mind until I make it! Has it ever happened to you? I guess that it the reason why I try and limit my use of Pinterest or I would probably be spending all day long in the kitchen!! Not…
