Traditional Soft Pretzels

When I went to Switzerland, I had amazing soft pretzels from a stand on the side of the road. I’ve been trying to find a great soft pretzel recipe ever since then. While this one isn’t quite as good as the ones I had in Switzerland, they’re pretty darn good.

Pretzel Knots (Rolls) – Cut Restaurant, Las Vegas

CUT is a Wolfgang Puck restaurant in Las Vegas. Recipe published in Bon Appetit, March 2009. Serve straight from the oven. Update 3/5/09: The original recipe (below) calls for letting the dough rise in the refrigerator. However, it seems that the more effective method is to let the dough rise at room temperature.

Ham Horns

This is perfect to have in the freezer as they defrost quickly and go both, for a snack or a light dinner with salad. You can even use them for breakfast or brunch and they are great for picnics or trips to the country side. They are a classic! And it is yeast free!

Weight Watchers Parmesan Crusted Chicken Schnitzels

This delectable low-calorie chicken dish is packed with flavour but not calories and is perfect for anyone following the 5:2 Diet as well as Weight Watchers. It’s a favourite meal for me and my husband when we are on a diet, when I serve it with lots of steamed greens and a grilled tomato. For a gluten free version use crushed cornflakes in place of the breadcrumbs. NB: Please note these don’t have any oil brushed on them as they are for a very low-calorie diet! If you are NOT worried about the extra calories, please brush the chicken fillets with a little oil before baking, or pan-fry them in a little oil or butter.
