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!
‘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?

Who’s in for a dessert? One that is both creamy and flaky. We achieve this by using phyllo pastry sheets as a base and then, filling them with a soft honey-sweetened rum-flavored ricotta mixture. Topping everything with raw figs and coconut flakes will just make things way better.

Instead, it honors the citrus fruits by bringing orange, grapefruit, tangerine, and lemon together inside a loaf pan. We cover them with a star anise-flavored sweet mixture of white wine and peach champagne, then „forget” about it in the refrigerator for 4 hours.

This dish is specific not only to Mexico but to the entire Pacific coast of Latin America! This healthy and nutritious recipe was and still is quite popular.
