As you already know, I love to make my own liqueur. I really like to experiment with different flavours and fruit based liqueurs are the ones I like the most. I must confess that I don’t drink much (I know… I am a weird kind of Italian who doesn’t really appreciate a good glass of…

If you follow Manu’s Menu, you will remember that I decided to start a little series on home-made liqueurs in the weeks before the holiday season.

Home-made White Chocolate Liqueur
Italians like to make things at home. This includes tomato sauces and preserves, pasta, sausages and smallgoods and, of course, liqueurs. Home-made things are better on so many levels. For one thing, you know exactly what went into your food and then everyone knows that food prepared with love always tastes better. I have always…

LIGHT CHOCOLATE MOUSSE WITH ORANGE LIQUEUR – MOUSSE DI CIOCCOLATO “LIGHT” AL LIQUORE D’ARANCIA
I love everything chocolate… and what’s better than a chocolate mousse to celebrate Valentine’s Day with the one you love?
