As Christmas is coming up, I thought it would be nice to put together a little Round-Up specifically for this special occasion.
Chocolate Meringues
The other day I just felt like having a small sweet treat with my tea. Since starting the low fodmap diet, grabbing a cookie from the pantry has become practically impossible (as I can’t usually stop at one anyway). And, that’s when it hit me: meringues are naturally low fodmap, dairy-free and gluten-free, so they…

Low Fodmap Chicken Stock
When following the low fodmap diet, you realise that there are so many things you used to buy ready-made at the store that you just can’t have anymore. Stock is often one of them, as it generally contains garlic and/or onion.

Garlic Scallops
Buttery, garlicky, and perfectly golden, Garlic Scallops take only 15 minutes. A quick sear gives crisp edges and tender flesh, ideal for a light and satisfying meal. After sharing my Pasta with Scallops and Lobster Oil, I couldn’t resist making another scallop recipe. A couple of weeks ago, I received a surprise delivery from Ferguson…
Pasta with Scallops and Lobster Oil
Yep. You read that right! Scallops AND Lobster Oil! Intriguing, isn’t it? To tell you the truth, the Lobster Oil was a very pleasant discovery, as I was not familiar with it.

Olive Oil Snail Bread Rolls
Today I am sharing with you a very simple recipe for bread: Olive Oil Snail Bread Rolls. I love baking bread. It’s actually one of the things I like to do the most.
Easter Taralli
With Easter just around the corner, I obviously had to share a traditional Italian Easter recipe! So, today I will show you how to make Easter Taralli.
Italian Almond Carrot Cake
Morning bakes feel easier with Italian Almond Carrot Cake with a soft, nutty, and lightly sweet crumb. Enjoy a homemade treat that brings comfort to slow mornings or relaxed afternoon breaks.

Busy weeknights feel easier with this Tuna Tomato Pasta simmering on the stove. Serve a comforting bowl and enjoy a warm, flavourful dinner in 20 minutes.
Italian Vegetable Pie
Today’s recipe is a delicious Italian Vegetable Pie. It is very simple to make and it is lower in fat than a regular quiche, since it does not contain any milk or cream. You can use your favourite vegetables for this one and it is also a great way to finish off leftover vegetables lying…

Tomorrow is Mardi Gras or Carnevale as we call it in Italy. Carnevale is a big event in Italy – kids even stay home from school! Everyone dresses up for almost a week and goes on parades with all kinds of floats.
Home-made Vegan Nutella #WorldNutellaDay
Happy World Nutella Day everyone! If you follow Manu’s Menu more or less regularly, you will know that I LOVE Nutella. I grew up eating it in Italy (yes, it is an Italian product!) and I still love it. However, you may also know that I have recently discovered that I am severely lactose intolerant.

Fried Bell Peppers and Potatoes
My readers often write to me to ask for some quick side dish ideas to serve with their Italian meals. I know, I don’t publish many side dishes on the site. I am not sure why as growing up, my mother would always serve at least one or two sides with our meal. Anyhow, these…
Pizza Christmas Tree
I love puff pastry treats! They remind me of my childhood as they would always be part of all our festive spreads. This Pizza Christmas Tree is very easy and quick to make and it looks impressive. It would definitely make for a great appetiser idea to serve to family and friends this coming Christmas….
