Today I will share with you my Rome Guide. Writing a guide about Rome in one single blog post is probably impossible, as there are way too many amazing places to see and things to do, so I will give you some tips and ideas on what to pick, if you only have a…
Olive Bread
Since moving to Australia I have become more and more interested in baking my own bread. When I was living in Italy, buying artisanal bread was easy and convenient. I never lived too far from a bakery. In fact, come to think of it, nobody lives more than a 5 minute walk from one, at…
Nutella Yogurt Cake
A tender crumb and melted Nutella give this Nutella Yogurt Cake a chocolatey finish that keeps each bite rich and satisfying.
Milan Guide – Italy
If you have been reading Manu’s Menu for a while, you will probably know that I was born and raised in Milan (or Milano as we say), in Northern Italy. I have always loved my home town, since I was a kid. Every time we used to go on holiday somewhere, I couldn’t wait to…
Skillet Pizza Chicken
My kids love pizza… I know, I know… who doesn’t? The thing is, when it comes to pizza, they are very picky. It must be their Italian genes… They also love chicken (it is their favourite source of protein), so I thought it would be a great idea to combine these 2 likes into a…
Venice Guide – Italy
During our recent trip to Italy, we also visited Venice. As the girls had never been there, we thought it would be nice to show them around the most romantic city in the world!
Marinated Fresh Anchovies (Italian Alici Marinate)
A simple Italian appetiser with fresh ingredients, Marinated Fresh Anchovies are gently cured for a soft texture and bright lemon flavour.
Chocolate Salami (Salame di Cioccolato)
A classic Italian no-bake dessert, Chocolate Salami combines chocolate, biscuits, and hazelnuts rolled into a sliceable treat.
Rose Meringue Sandwiches
I made these Rose Meringue Sandwiches for my daughter’s 8th birthday party. The theme was “high tea” and as I was also making a Rosette Cake for the occasion, I thought of making rose shaped meringues. In Italy, bakeries or sweet shops often sell meringues, plain or dipped in chocolate and I wanted to somehow…
Nutella Palmiers
I made these Nutella Palmiers for my daughter’s 8th birthday party. As you know, I always have puff pastry for birthday parties and being Italian, Nutella cannot be skipped either! So, I decided to combine the 2 traditions and I made these deliciously crunchy treats. I added some toasted hazelnuts to them, to enhance both…
Pizza Ortolana
Want a healthy pizza that’s still delicious? Try Pizza Ortolana with roasted vegetables and mozzarella, bringing together fresh flavours in each slice.
Pesto Pinwheels
For parties, I always serve something made with puff pastry. It is somewhat due to my Italian heritage… I can’t remember a birthday party without puff pastry treats. We have them with anchovies, sausages, or all kinds of vegetables and even pizza ones. You name it. I love to make both sweet and savoury treats….
Ham and Cheese Sicilian Brioches
I made these Ham and Cheese Sicilian Brioches for my daughter’s 8th birthday party. When I was a child, I would spend part of my summer holidays at my nonni’s house in Palermo. Not far from where they used to live, there was a place called I Cuochini (aka the little cooks) where my mum…
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…
Sicilian Almond Milk
Cool, creamy, and naturally sweet, Sicilian Almond Milk is a classic worth making at home. It’s summer-ready and especially enjoyable straight from the fridge.
Puntarelle alla Romana
During my recent trip to Italy, I didn’t really forget about my readers! Even though I was on holiday, I still did a little cooking. There are a few dishes that I have always wanted to share with you, but never could, as I was not able to find the ingredients for them. So… I…

Risotto with Zucchini Cream and Basil
Besides experimenting with Japanese cooking, I have also cooked some good old Italian food. This Risotto with Zucchini Cream and Basil is one of my latest favourite risotto and I have it quite often, alternating it with the Pumpkin and Gorgonzola one. I love the combination of zucchini and basil as I think their flavours…
Tuna, Olive and Caper Pasta with Garlic Breadcrumbs
Today’s recipe is a classic in my kitchen. I make it often and it is one of my husband’s favourite pasta dishes. I cannot believe that I have been blogging for over 4 years and I haven’t shared this recipe yet! But I guess it’s like all the things that you are very familiar with:…
Torta di Mele della Nonna (Italian Apple Cake)
Golden apple cake with a soft crumb, buttery taste, and baked fruit throughout makes Torta di Mele della Nonna a reliable bake any day.
Cream of Pea and Mint Risotto
I love playing with risotto and making it different every time. There’s much more than Mushroom risotto in the “risotto world”. You just need to give it a chance. You can actually make risotto with almost any vegetable and/or cheese. Today I played with a classic combination of Italian cuisine: peas and mint. I blended…
Nutella Gelato with Frangelico
Rich, velvety Nutella Gelato with Frangelico brings together thick chocolate creaminess and roasted hazelnut flavour in a smooth, indulgent frozen dessert.
Pasta with Bell Pepper and Gorgonzola Cream
I first had something similar to this Pasta with bell pepper and Gorgonzola cream years ago in Milano. My husband and I would go and eat at our favourite restaurant for every special occasion and this pasta was often on the menu. Bell peppers/capsicums and Gorgonzola make for a fantastic combination: the first are sweet,…
Fragolino Liqueur
Blended from strawberries, sugar, and spirit, Fragolino Liqueur brings a fresh, fruity aroma and smooth taste that fit perfectly into spring menus and afternoon desserts.
Lemon Dessert in a Jar
Creamy, zesty, and neatly layered in a jar, this Lemon Dessert in a Jar combines soaked savoiardi with lemon cream for a light, chilled treat.
Olive Schiacciate
Cracked green olives dressed with vinegar, garlic, and oil turn Olive Schiacciate into a salty, tangy bowl everyone keeps reaching for before dinner.
Mahi Mahi with Caponata Sauce
Light fish, bold vegetables, and a sweet–tangy caponata come together in this Mahi Mahi with Caponata Sauce, bringing a sunny, Mediterranean feel to your table.
