Beer can grilled chicken
This is a surprisingly simple way to make an amazing barbecue whole chicken on the grill. With this recipe, you don’t need any special equipment, just a beer can and it makes incredibly moist chicken you’ll remember for a long time.
Greek beef and onion stew
Beef and onion stew is the kind of comforting dish to have when the temperatures go down.
Greek baked fish
Greece is a peninsula, surrounded by water on three sides, so it should come as no surprise that there are plenty of fish and seafood recipes in Greek cuisine. Try this simple baked fish, Greek style.
Swiss potato rösti
Rösti is made with onions, Appenzeller cheese, and caraway seeds in German cantons, while you'll see tomatoes, sweet paprika, and Gruyere cheese in French cantons, and you will notice the addition of rosemary in the Italian ones.
Swiss fettuccine with saffron
Saffron is used to flavor food and to color it pale golden yellow. Turmeric is often suggested as a substitute for saffron. Although turmeric adds a similar pale yellow color, the flavor is completely different.
Swiss cherry bread pudding
This cherry bread pudding is good for dessert or to accompany a cup of hot chocolate for an afternoon snack. Very comforting after a brisk walk in the crisp mountain air.
Swiss cabbage soup
The cheese on top of this soup changes from canton to canton. Expect Gruyere in French cantons, Emmentaler if you are in one of the German cantons, and Parmesan in Italian ones.
Swiss broccoli and cauliflower salad
Broccoli and cauliflower are included in the list of healthy food and this salad gets the best of both vegetables.
Surf 'n' Turf from Australia
Surf and turf always offers the best of sea and land, fresh prawns and juicy steak in this case, made more appealing by the tangy beer sauce on the side. Serve with chunky oven fries.
