Dalmatinska Pasticada
Serve with freshly boiled fettucini, into which some of the gravy has been stirred.
Chicken and Pineapple Salad
Refrigerate for about an hour before serving (not absolutely necessary, but it does help to blend the flavours).
Real Beef Stroganov
Serve as soon as possible – it doesn’t improve with keeping – with mashed potatoes (garlic, if possible) and a green vegetable or salad.
German Potato Salad
Best served slightly warm or at room temperature, but is also excellent if refrigerated overnight. Stir in about 150 gr thinly sliced Black Forest ham
Sauerbraten
This pot roast freezes very well – sauce and meat separate, but only add the sour cream/yoghurt to the sauce when reheating. Slice the meat and reheat it, sliced in the completed sauce.
Couscous Tabbouleh
This is the most basic of recipes – feel free to experiment with it. I just think that it is such a delicious and refreshing salad as is, that I don’t really want to play around with it too much.
Hungarian Goulash
Perfect for a cold winter day. Serve with Savoury Rice Pudding and a green vegetable or salad.
Roast Fillet of Beef with Herb and Mustard Sauces
This is a really superb party dish, which can be served to the most discriminating diner.
Mom’s Crunchies
They say that mom’s are best. But we will have to guess at the quantities of golden syrup and bi-carb!
Chocolate-Yoghurt Cake
This cake is so tasty that family members will go to war for the sake of it. Mouth-wateringly sumptuous. To die for.
