Chicken with peanut sauce

Looking for an original, new slant on how to prepare chicken? We might have just what you need! This dish has somewhat of an exotic taste, thanks to the use of peanuts, which are very much popular in Thai and Southeast Asian cuisine.

Serve with salads and vegetables to obtain a nutritionally balanced meal!

Creamy risotto with raw ham and chopped pumpkin

Pumpkin risotto is a well-known dish in traditional Lombard cuisine. Very easy to make and incredibly tasty at the same time, it makes an ideal dish for cold autumn or winter days. Its origins are, as the majority of the courses prepared with pumpkin, humble ones, as this vegetable was cultivated and eaten mostly by peasants. In this version we decided to enrich the recipe a bit by adding another much-loved ingredient of the northern culinary tradition: raw ham.

Dried fruit and apple couscous

Some might think couscous is a cereal, but in actual fact it is a traditional Berber product made from semolina, granules of durum wheat. This very versatile ingredient, a staple food in the regions of North Africa, can be cooked and served with vegetables or stews (meat or fish), but it also can be used to prepare delightful 'salads' or desserts, like the one we are presenting here. Enjoy this nutty fruity couscous salad!

We can assure you that the quality of the ingredients and the creativity of the chef are 100% green, white and red! This is a quite unusual dish, somehow inspired by the Southeast Asian cuisine, where combining of savoury and sweet is commonplace, the use of nuts widespread and the basmati rice is a native staple food.

Fresh cheese with tomato compote

There are many ways in which you can enjoy cheese and fruits together, and one option is to eat the former with some jam on top: try for instance some mature stinky cheese with a spoonful of blueberries jam.. or fresh goat's cheese with this homemade chutney!
