This is not your usual mashed potato, but a fancier richer paprika-spiced version of it. One that has fried onion and garlic and egg. We’re serving this with pan-fried drumsticks cooked with apple and onion.

This is not Tschirky’s original Waldorf salad. Instead, we played a little with the ‘classical’ recipe. We kept the walnuts, apples, and celery, but we substituted grapes with pineapple and tossed cognac-soaked dried fruits into the mix. No mayonnaise! And no bed of lettuce or other leafy greens, this time. Try it. It’s good!
These muffins are indeed the AllDelicious healthier version of the regular milky and sugary ones. This time we substituted the sugar with xylitol, the sweetener extracted from trees and other plants, especially from birch. They’re no-flour and dairy-free, too. They are coconut-themed so we only used coconut milk and coconut flour. Yummy and healthy.

They are small, they are sugar-free, and they’re tasty. They are buttery and we used only coconut flour for the composition, so no gluten here. They’re filled with chocolate chips and this is where you’d want to double or triple the quantity, to your own taste. Meet the xylitol-sweetened chocolate and coconut muffins.

‘Health in a glass’, that’s how this (and every smoothie out there, for that matter) should be named. That’s what they are, basically. This one is cucumber, celery, pears, and kiwi fruits blended together. Would you share it?

A protein-rich parsley-flavored mushroom spread for the vegetarian in you. With garlic mayo and sour cream. Although this is gluten-free the best way to serve it would be to spread it on slices of bread. On the other hand, nobody said this wouldn’t go well with chips, as a dip.

Hmm, what to do with the duck carcass left from your previous cooking adventure? An incredibly scrumptious soup, of course. The duck carcass and the duck fat will flavor the whole thing altogether. And the ‘thing’ is a potato broth enhanced with vegetable goodies, ginger, and Cajun spices.

We don’t eat duck often enough and we should. So why don’t we do some braising this time? First by roasting the duck meat for 20 minutes at high temperature, then by searing it and, finally, by cooking it for 90 minutes over low heat. Then let’s serve it along with the veggies and a few raw figs.

We felt the need for a hearty salad around here and someone came with the idea: the Waldorf salad (like in Waldorf-Astoria). We settled for a nut-free version of it and we substituted the walnuts with sunflower seeds. We added yummy tuna and dressed everything with yogurt instead of mayo.

The fatty pork belly is the celebrated pork cut from which the bacon is prepared. Only this time, we simply want to cook this delicious and popular cut. And we’ll do that by braising it. So, the first step is searing the pork in olive oil and the second is baking it covered at medium temperature. We’ll further flavor the meat in step two by cooking it with thyme, red onion, and apple. Step three: enjoy!
