Caramelised Pineapple

Caramelised Pineapple

Today I will share with you the perfect recipe for a quick, healthy, and satisfying sweet treat: Caramelised Pineapple.

Low Fodmap Pineapple Mint Agua Fresca

Low Fodmap Pineapple Mint Agua Fresca

After sharing my Cinco de Mayo Recipe Round-Up, I am back with another delicious latina recipe: Low Fodmap Pineapple Mint Agua Fresca.

Frozen Piña Colada

Frozen Piña Colada

I love a good rum-based cocktail and this Frozen Piña Colada is one of my all time favourite drinks. I have had some pretty good ones in Central America, where they have amazing pineapples and coconuts. By the way, did you know that piña colada has been the national drink of Puerto Rico since 1978?…

Pineapple Vanilla Jam

Pineapple Vanilla Jam

The first time I had this delicious Pineapple Vanilla Jam I was in Tahiti. The islands abound in both pineapples and vanilla, so to them is a normal combination. However, to my Italian taste buds it wasn’t and I was literally blown away but how good these two flavours were together! This jam has become…

Pineapple Strawberry Apple Smoothie

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…

Pineapple Coconut Banana Smoothie

Pineapple Coconut Banana Smoothie

Smoothies are always a great and healthy afternoon snack idea for kids. My children love them and it is a fantastic way to make them eat some fruits and use up some leftovers too. As a child, I would always ask my mother to make me a Banana and Pear Frullato (the Italian version of…

Pineapple Mojito

Pineapple Mojito

I made this Pineapple Mojito to serve to my friends on New Year’s Eve as an aperitivo, just to start things off before we sat down for dinner.  We had a Spanish theme that night and I know Mojito is not a Spanish cocktail, but I made a little exception as it is one of…

Verrine Fraicheur

Verrine Fraicheur

Today’s dish is a very quick recipe.  Going through my Visual Archive, I have realised that I do not have many breakfast recipes on the blog.  I guess the main reason is because Italians are not big on breakfast.  In fact, we mostly have coffee (or cappuccino) and a croissant or cookies.  I personally just…

Pineapple Tarts

Pineapple Tarts

Tomorrow we celebrate the Chinese New Year: 新年快乐!  This is going to be the Year of the Horse… I have read that people born in the Year of the Horse are clever, kind and energetic… they sometimes talk too much, but are cheerful, talented and love to be in the centre of a crowd.  2014…

Pineapple Crumble

PINEAPPLE CRUMBLE WITH BUTTERSCOTCH SAUCE

Today’s recipe is a spur of the moment kind of recipe.  I had some fresh pineapple in the fridge and some butterscotch sauce leftover from another dish and I knew they would taste delicious together.  So, I came up with a quick dessert: pineapple and butterscotch crumble.  We all loved it.  The slight tanginess of…

Mai Tai

MAI TAI

During my stay at the Hilton Bora Bora Nui Resort & Spa, I took part in their “cocktail class”, during which the bartender showed us how to make their signature drink: Mai Tai and I am here to share it with you all!  Apparently, even though this cocktail has become  famous as a Polynesian classic, it…

PINEAPPLE AND PASSION FRUIT JAM

If you follow Manu’s Menu, you already know that my family and I have recently returned from a holiday in French Polynesia (Tahiti).  Both in my travel diary and in my review of Hilton Moorea, I have told you about the amazing jam we tasted while we were there.  Moorea actually has some of the…

Tahitian Omelette

OMELETTE TAHITIENNE

I am sure you remember that last Christmas my husband got me The Complete Bocuse as a present.  It is a huge book full of recipes by Paul Bocuse which I am going to dig into.  There are so many dishes I want to try, even more after making his Sole Meunière!  It is one…

PINEAPPLE & COCONUT GLAZED PORK SPARE RIBS

Today’s post is a “fight-against-waste” recipe!  I had a nice rack of pork spare ribs in the freezer, so I gathered all the left overs I had in my fridge and built up a recipe from there.  I also did some research on the web and saw I could make something yummy out of these…

Aussie Burger with the lot

AUSSIE BURGER WITH “THE LOT”

Today I am going to share with you the recipe of what is known as “Aussie burger with the lot”.  The reason for the name is evident: this isn’t your everyday cheese burger… it is made up of A LOT of goodies!  And it is irresistible!  What’s not to love about a sandwich filled with…

Sweet and Sour Pork Fritters

SWEET AND SOUR PORK FRITTERS

Sweet and sour pork has always been my favourite Chinese take-out food.  I am sure I have already said this, but I am a big fan of anything sweet and sour.  It must be my Sicilian genes (it is a common cooking style over there) or my love for vinegar… whatever the case I never…

PINEAPPLE SORBET

I bought a beautiful pineapple to make Salmon with pomegranate molasses glaze and had more than half left.  It had a fantastic aroma, but was a little on the sour side, so I thought of making something I had never made before: sorbet.  I have made ice cream many times, but had never tried to…

PINEAPPLE LAYERED DESSERT

This is a very easy dessert and you can make it in a matter of a few minutes.  It is so easy to make that I made it for my husband’s birthday, the day before our second daughter was born (yes… they were born on 2 consecutive days!).  You can make your own custard or…
