Recipes
In each of these recipes there is something close to my heart, whether it is a recipe with a special story, or a my own version and of course traditional Swiss recipes, most of which I received from my mom, grandmother, aunts and friends. Here you will find sweet and savory recipes and some food too.
Schoggi S
Very Swiss chocolate meringues
swiss carrot cake
This amazing cake originates in Aargau, and all versions include little marzipan carrots with white glaze and Kirsch for topping
damson plums tart
This is the ultimate Swiss fruit tart I grew up on. There is a silent competition in the family on the best version.
rum choco ball
This takes me back to my childhood in Luzern. My beloved Grandpa Papapa used to treat me to these at the best pastry shop in town.
Nesselrode cream pie
A recipe restored at the request of a relative missing her childhood tastes in New York. Apparently "Nesselrode" has a story.
Nürnbergli
They are almost identical to the Moroccan "peanut buttons", but just almost. Its Swiss original, with kirsch and all....
Pressburger and Poppy
The two P's- Pressburger and Poppy go together wonderfully. Perfect dough for 'yeast fear' and a filling to break any poppy hater.
Swiss Rhubarb Cake
The sour, sweet taste of the Rhubarb stems takes me back to my childhood in Switzerland. It not well known in Israel...yet
zuger kirsch torte
This Swiss cake is named after its origin in the city of Zug near Luzern in Switzerland. This is definitely not a cake for kids....

This is the ultimate dessert for Passover. Looks great, delicious and gluten free. It tastes good non dairy as well - see in recipe.
chocolate fondant
I worked on this recipe for 18 months. The outcome was well worth it. It is easy to make, fully cooked yet completely fluid inside.

It is amusing to think that the only time I made this was in a competition, and did pretty good. I even got a medal
Birchermüesli
This was no doubt my favorite childhood dish. It very refreshing and tasty and healthy. what else can you ask for?
muzna's cabbage rice
Thanks to this dish, I learned that Muzna is a divine cook. I found out what Allspice was, and got that it is OK to eat from the pot.
