I love Sweet and Sour anything, so it was one of the first things I adapted for the Low Fodmap diet! Today, after perfecting my recipe, I am very happy to share with you these Low Fodmap Sweet and Sour Pork Meatballs!
Low Fodmap Lemon Potato Salad
We have had our share of mayo-based potato salads during the holidays, so today I thought I’d share my Low Fodmap Lemon Potato Salad instead.

Today I will share with you the perfect recipe for a quick, healthy, and satisfying sweet treat: Caramelised Pineapple.
Low Fodmap Fruit Salad with Ginger Lime Syrup
What could be better than a fresh fruit salad on a hot summer day? I love fruit salads in general and this Low Fodmap Fruit Salad with Ginger Lime Syrup is exceptional: refreshing and delicious.
Orange, Blueberry, Passion Fruit Smoothie
I love a good smoothie, especially for breakfast or as a mid-morning snack. I find that having a glass of sweet fruity smoothie keeps me full till lunch time. The fact that that glass of goodness is also packed with vitamins is definitely a plus.
Kiwi Ginger Smoothie
Who doesn’t love a refreshing smoothie? I know I do and so do my children. This Kiwi Ginger Smoothie is both dairy-free and low FODMAP, so besides being yummy and healthy, it is also gentle on the tummy.
Lightened-up Eggplant Caponata
After sharing with you the recipe for traditional Eggplant Caponata, today I am back with an healthier and quicker version of this Sicilian summer classic: Lightened-up Eggplant Caponata.
Vegan Chocolate Hazelnut Truffles
After making my Chocolate Hazelnut Milk, I had some hazelnut pulp left and you know I love to re-use leftovers, don’t you? I dug and dug and I found a great recipe for it: Vegan Chocolate Hazelnut Truffles.
Mango Sorbet
Since moving to Australia I have fallen in love with mangoes. I had eaten them already during holidays outside of Europe (Indian mangoes are amazing!), but mangoes in Italy are… well… pretty tasteless.
Chinese Sweet and Sour Pork Meatballs
Sweet and Sour anything is my go-to dish whenever I eat Chinese food. I have always liked sweet and sour sauces… even in Italian cooking. So, when I saw these meatballs, I couldn’t resist and I had to try them. And boy, was I glad I did! They were a super hit with my family…
Roasted Pumpkin and Carrot Quinoa Salad
I only recently discovered quinoa and now I am hooked. I love all grains that can be used to make salads (I have plenty of couscous and maftoul recipes on the blog already!), so I already knew I would like quinoa. And I was not mistaken. I love its crunch and its slight bitterness, especially…
Vegan Wholemeal Banana Bread
If you follow Manu’s Menu more or less regularly, you may know that I have recently found out that I am lactose intolerant. Don’t worry, I will still be publishing “normal” recipes, but I will also start experimenting with dairy-free (or lactose-free) recipes. This Vegan Wholemeal Banana Bread is one of the first attempts at…
Aromatic Olive Oil
This Aromatic Olive Oil is a great recipe to have. I personally love the mix of herbs, garlic and chilly it uses and I find is very versatile. You can use this oil for bruschetta, meat, fish, salads, and even as a simple pasta sauce! It also makes for a fantastic edible gift, so make…
Wholemeal Honey Cookies
These Wholemeal Honey Cookies are very easy to make and they are a healthier option for your kids. They taste delicious… don’t you love sweets made with honey? I do! I love the taste honey gives to these cookies. They are great both for breakfast and tea time. They are the perfect recipe for when…
Sweet Yogurt Braids
During my kids’ winter holidays, I made these Sweet Yogurt Braids to have as a snack. They are healthy and taste delicious. And the best part? The girls loved them! I love sweet breads, don’t you? And these are particularly tasty and they also look cute, which is always a plus, especially for the kids….
Coconut Banana Mandarin Smoothie
I don’t know about you, but I always seem to have overripe bananas in my kitchen! I try and buy them more on the green side, but they always ripen way too fast! I often make banana bread (check this one out – it is my absolute favourite!), but this time I felt like having…
Blueberry Lavender Swirl Yogurt Popsicles
I LOVE frozen yogurt, don’t you? I love the tangy flavour of the yogurt and during a hot day, I find it extremely refreshing. Besides, when you are trying to eat low-fattish (is that even a word??), it is the best alternative to full fat ice cream. These Blueberry Lavender Swirl Yogurt Popsicles are so…
Middle-Eastern Chargrilled Pumpkin Salad
I made this Middle-Eastern Chargrilled Pumpkin Salad as one of the side dishes for our Christmas Eve dinner, as it paired really well with the stuffing of the roast pork I had made. I loved the blend of Middle Eastern spices that goes into this warm simple salad. Sumac is one of my all time…
Pineapple Strawberry Apple Smoothie
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas! We have eaten a lot, as usual, so today I am back with something light and healthy! I love smoothies and this Pineapple Strawberry Apple Smoothie is amazing. I love the flavour combination and I think pineapple makes for a great addition, especially in winter, as it adds…
Sweet and Sour Chicken Stir Fry
Sweet and Sour anything is my favourite Chinese dish. In fact, I really love my Sweet and Sour pork fritters and the other day I was severely craving them. The fact is that, after having my gallbladder removed, I am trying to avoid deep fried food (at least for the time being ;-)). That’s when…
Strawberry Milk
My daughters love Strawberry Milk. They still call it “pink milk” like when they were little and it is their favourite drink. As strawberries are in season here in Australia, I thought of making it at home. The result was amazing so, even though this is quite a simple recipe, I thought I should share…
Wholemeal Chapati
When I had to undergo surgery a couple of months ago, my mother in law came to stay with us to help out with the kids and spend some time with us. I was so happy she was able to come. It was great to have some company and to have someone to talk with…
