Lamb shank with potatoes, feta cheese and olives
Roast lamb with potatoes and pine nuts is undoubtedly one of the most classic recipes, but today we give a twist to the traditional dish and add, seeking contrast to the intense flavor of the lamb meat, the typical aromas of the Greek islands: this lamb dish includes feta cheese, olives, and fennel.
American-style barbecue burger
If there's one thing that wins me over about an authentic American burger, it's the taste of the first bite.
The wonderful combination achieved with first-rate meat, fresh vegetables and the mild heat of the chile, all wrapped in good cheese and the best bread, makes that first bite feel irresistible to me.

Meatballs with sun-dried tomato cream, olives and capers
I just read a book recommendation in which the author says you learn to cook to love, to give pleasure, to please. Without love there is no cooking, only survival. And these meatballs with a sun-dried tomato cream, olives, and capers are made with lots of love in the Le Creuset casserole. An ideal, durable pot for a lifetime. Perfect for slow-simmered recipes like this.

Beer-Braised Chicken
This beer chicken is one of those recipes that begs for bread, lots of bread. Because the sauce that forms is magnificent. So good you’ll want to eat it by the spoonful. With WMF’s pressure cooker the chicken stays very juicy and it takes so little time to make that it’s almost laughable to say it: 15 minutes from start to finish. Sounds crazy, right? Well, that’s how it’s achieved.
Traditional Beef Stew
This classic beef stew with vegetables is perfect for an uncomplicated recipe, since it really takes just 10 minutes of preparation… The rest is taken care of by my WMF Fusiontec pot, which, well covered and simmered slowly for an hour, makes a stew that’s finger-licking good!
Pepper Steak
Some time ago I saw a pepper steak recipe with a seasoning I loved—simple, tasty and balanced. Warning, it’s a recipe for the brave, because it’s spicy. But if you’re into meat, you’ll love this recipe.
It’s about making a pepper-crusted steak (you’ll see I give you some tricks to pack it with peppery flavor), and preparing a sauce of roasted chives and bacon, garlic and parsley that pairs perfectly.
Chicken breast with celery and sweet potato purée with Vitalis
This celery root and sweet potato mash with chicken breast recipe is delicious! We prepared it with the steam cooker WMF Vitalis Aroma. It’s a very balanced and nutritious recipe, and because it was steamed it’s much healthier while retaining all its nutrients.

Tofu Burgers
Last weekend I tried tofu burgers. At home we love burgers; in fact I've been innovating and preparing them for quite some time now, not just with chicken or beef but with a variety of ingredients that manage to surprise.

Meatballs in Carrot Sauce
I'd say meatballs aren't as fashionable as they once were; they may seem too labor-intensive in these times of immediacy, but these meatballs in carrot sauce, besides being delicious, are ready in no time if you get the whole family to help. And shaping the little meatballs will give you the week's zen moment. I swear it on Snoopy.
