Dairy/18 recipes

This beautiful bunny cake will impress everyone at your Easter party!!

Very easy prep, the meat literally falls apart it's so tender. The horseradish sauce adds a bit of kick to tender beef short ribs.

Tamale pie has always been a family favorite. Now, using slices of prepared polenta, it is quick and easy to prepare. Even my 18 month old grandson LOVES it!!!

It's easy to make your own home-made pasta. Many Italian families do it every day. This is a very traditional original recipe from Larousse Gastronomique the French bible of fine dining and cooking.

"Kohlrouladen" used to be a staple on the menu for regular people in Germany during winter time. The relatively long preparation and cooking time pays out, because it can be easily reheated over a couple of days and gets even better and tastier then. Fried potatoes complete the picture, but you can cook the potatoes also in the pot with the sauce, if there is space left. This recipe can be varied in many ways, be it the stuffing (ground meat here), or the sauce. The recipe is as traditional as it can be; the ingredients are adjusted to availability in North America (like Savoy cabbage in lieu of "Weisskohl", bacon to replace "Speckwuerfel"). For sure the ground meat can vary depending on preferences or diets - I bet quite often in the "good old times " regular people did not exactly know what's in the ground meat they got from the butcher - at least it was some meat, for most of the families only once a week.

These gluten-free (can be dairy free and nut free, see Notes) muffins are a great start to the day as they contain no refined sugars and instead provide slow release energy through their relatively high protein content. If you are diabetic, use stevia in place of maple syrup.

A dairy-free and eggless whole-wheat apple pancake.

There are hundreds versions of this very Polish soup. Here you have an original proposition of mine. I used to cook it on the base of my favorite duck and chicken stock. The cream is a must to create wonderful pink color. Optionally you may add a quarter or a half of hard boiled egg to your bowl. By the way, I change my recipe sometimes, for instance by adding dried California prunes instead of sugar, or by adding some white vinegar instead of lemon juice.

I cook sorrel soup every spring year by year because of the unique sour flavor. I usually make it on the base of long simmered veal bones. This spring the process of cooking was shortened by using Spanish chorizo. No regret.

Mmmmm... Yumyyy! One more slice please!

This beautiful and romantic cake is perfect for Valentine's Day! The recipe is also easy to turn into a cake for any occasion, Flag Day, birthdays you name it. Decorate it accordingly.

Wow, the pot roast came out so flavourful and the gravy was also very tasty. We thinly sliced the leftover, used in sandwiches and wraps. Bravo!

So yummy, store-bought seven-layer dip can never beat freshly homemade version, no doubt.

I remember this soup from my childhood. Very creamy and thick, full of dill weed. Let it become thin to feel more intense flavor of chanterelle mushrooms.

For those that prefer a sweet meal to start their day, these banana and almond pancakes are the perfect healthy option. We’ve developed this recipe for Fertility Road magazine, so not only is it delicious and nutritious but it’s also a fantastic way of eating yourself pregnant too. Bananas are a great food to increase fertility in women as they are a fantastic source of B vitamins, fibre, protein, folate, iron and vitamin C. Eggs are such a great source of protein and iron (which are both really important nutrients for fertility). In addition they are also a fantastic source of vitamin D. Women who struggle with fertility often suffer from a deficiency in vitamin D. Almonds are a rich source of vitamin E. They also help improve insulin resistance, which has been shown to increase fertility levels in women. The toppings on this recipe also play an important part in improving fertility. One serving per day of full fat dairy can improve fertility rates and Greek yoghurt is a delicious and calcium-rich option to increase your chances of conception. It is also rich in vitamin D and contains two times as much protein as regular yoghurt. Berries are loaded with vitamin C and folate, and are full of natural antioxidants and anti-inflammatory nutrients, which help boost both female and male fertility. So if you’re looking to enhance your chance of conception, this delicious, healthy breakfast recipe could just do the trick.
