Georgia’s 5th Birthday
On the 1st my youngest daughter turned 5!! I cannot believe she is 5 already and that in January she will be going to “big school”. Georgia is definitely ready for it… mum, not so much. She’s the baby of the house and seeing her grow up so fast is both amazing and scary. She…
Chai Cheesecake with Pumpkin Butterscotch Sauce
A few days ago, I reviewed the Toollio, an amazing multi-function kitchen appliance. I love it and, as promised, I am going to share a few recipes that can give you a better idea of what you can do with it. Even though you can make lots of savoury dishes with the Toollio, today’s recipe is…
Coconut Panna Cotta with Coconut Caramel Sauce
Here you have another delicious panna cotta recipe! I have a friend who loves coconut, so I thought of making this to take to her birthday party. I had just made the Coconut Caramel Sauce I shared in my previous post, so the pairing was a no brainer. They were silky, smooth and delicate and…
Sticky Date Pudding with Butterscotch Sauce
Soft, spongy Sticky Date Pudding with Butterscotch Sauce layered with warm caramel flavour and smooth texture, a dessert that melts in the mouth and stays tender even after baking.
Broken Glass Cupcakes
These bloody Broken Glass Cupcakes make a spooky Halloween centrepiece with shards of sugar glass and sticky “blood.” The soft pumpkin sponge and sweet buttercream taste every bit as wicked as they look. Bloody broken glass cupcakes! Don’t they look scary? I love how spooky they turn out, yet they’re completely edible and so much…
Gulab Jamun
Happy Diwali! Tomorrow will mark the beginning of Diwali (दिवाली), the “festival of lights”, a 5-day Indian festival that celebrates the triumph of good over evil and light over darkness. Light is the symbol of the celebrations and many clay lamps filled with oil are lit during the 5 days of the festival. As you…
Nutella and Mascarpone Pie
It is time again for the “Secret recipe club” reveal! I am sure you all know what the club is about, but for the few of you who still don’t know about it, here goes a brief explanation. It is a great concept… each month you are assigned a participating food blogger to make a…
Orchid and Chocolate Cupcakes
If you have been following Manu’s Menu for a while, you would have noticed that the site got a bit of a make-over. I have been thinking about changing the look of my blog for a while, but never really took the plunge… until now. There are still a few issues to fix and I…
Marsala Gelato with Pumpkin Sauce
Today’s recipe is inspired by the month of October. I know I say this often, but to me getting used to what I still consider “reversed” seasons is almost impossible. So October is still autumn to me, even though down here we are in the middle of spring! That is why, I decided that combining…
Condensed Milk and Coconut Cake
Moist, tender, and easy to make, this Condensed Milk and Coconut Cake combines creamy richness with subtle coconut flavour. It’s ideal for everyday baking or as a sweet weekend treat. My eldest daughter is all about coconut these days, and she definitely takes after her daddy when it comes to having a sweet tooth. She…
Apple and Dulce de Leche Tart
Golden pastry, soft apples, and creamy Dulce de Leche melt together in an Apple and Dulce de Leche Tart that feels like the sweetest part of autumn.
Coconut Ice Cream
My eldest daughter loves coconut flavoured treats. She asks me to make coconut cakes, muffins, cupcakes, cookies… You name it. And off course, coconut ice cream is one of her favourite flavours! I am happy to oblige as I too like coconut. It always makes me feel like I am on a tropical island, enjoying…
Vanilla and Yogurt Cheesecake with Raspberry Sauce
Don’t you just love a good cheesecake? I certainly do! I particularly like today’s recipe as it is a 2 layered cheesecake. The bottom layer is a normal baked vanilla cheesecake, while the top layer also contains Greek Yogurt… this makes the cake a tad lighter to the palate and a bit fluffier on the…
Poire Belle Helene
Pears and chocolate make a dream-worthy duo in this Poire belle Hélène. Warm poached pears sink into smooth chocolate sauce, creating a spoon-ready dessert that feels sweet and hard to resist.
Rock Candy Lollipops
Crunchy sugar crystals on a stick never stop being fun, and Rock Candy Lollipops make them magical. Perfect for adding a touch of wonder to birthdays, holidays, or weekend treats.
Troll Cookies
Perfect for birthdays or Frozen parties, Troll Cookies look like rocky trolls yet taste melt-in-your-mouth delicious, with pecans, vanilla, and a sweet coating dusted in cocoa and sugar.
Sweet Popcorn Snowballs
I made these Sweet Popcorn Snowballs as part of the menu for my daughter’s 7th birthday party. As the theme was Frozen, I thought having edible snowballs would be a fun idea. These are easy to make and look quite nice. You can make them for a winter themed buffet or save the recipe for…
Frozen Cake
Soft yoghurt layers covered in pale blue fondant create a Frozen Cake with a simple winter style, ideal for parties where children want a dessert inspired by their favourite characters and icy colours.
Olaf Yogurt Cake
Here goes the first of the 2 Frozen themed cakes I made for Victoria’s 7th birthday. She took this one to school to celebrate with her friends. The base is a simple eggless yogurt cake: quick and delicious! I love how it turned out. It looked impressive (people were asking where we had bought it…
Victoria’s 7th Birthday
On the 16th we celebrated my eldest daughter Victoria’s 7th birthday!!! I know I always say this, but I really cannot believe how fast time flies. Victoria is turning into a beautiful and thoughtful little girl and I am trying to enjoy these years as much as I can, as I know she will soon…
Apple, Coconut and Pecan Bundt Cake
It is time again for the “Secret recipe club” reveal! I am sure you all know what the club is about, but for the few of you who still don’t know about it, here goes a brief explanation. It is a great concept… each month you are assigned a participating food blogger to make a…
Caramel Apple Bars
Winter, I love it. I know I may be among the few people out there who prefer winter and cold weather to summer… but I have always loved it. I love short days, cozy evenings reading on the couch covered with an old woollen blanket while sipping a cup of hot tea. Even better if…
Salted Caramel Gelato #SundaySupper
This week the Sunday Supper team is sharing recipes for food that is served cold… as the majority of the group is based in the Northern hemisphere and it is a hot summer up there at the moment. It has actually been quite cold down here lately. I do not mind it one bit though, as…
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…
Coconut Tiramisù in a Jar
Oh Tiramisù, how much I love thee! I must admit I have had my share of terrific home-made tiramisù while growing up. Back then it was mostly the classic coffee flavoured version, and I have always thoroughly enjoyed it. Then the fruity versions started to appear, mostly made with peaches and strawberries. I like those too,…
Molten Dulce de Leche Cakes
Cut into these Molten Dulce de Leche Cakes and smooth caramel flows from the centre, rich, creamy, and utterly irresistible. A scrumptious dessert in every spoonful.
