If you cannot be in Bern for the fourth Monday in November, celebrate the Onion Market Day at home with dishes such as this onion salad.

There is no alcohol in this recipe, making it suitable for children, although not for young children as the cheese is very hot to eat and there is the risk of an accident while dipping the bread.

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.

Broccoli and cauliflower are included in the list of healthy food and this salad gets the best of both vegetables.

This Alpine omelet is known as cholermues. It is closer to a pancake than to a proper omelet. It is typically served with apples or pears, however, this recipe uses dried fruit in an tangy syrup as topping.

Here's a recipe that supplies the perfect early treat to munch on during any holiday or special day. Call it Christmas, birthday, or that Easter egg hunt. This recipe will make six cakes.

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.

This is a very simple recipe that lets you cook your entire meal in the crock pot. And the good news is, you’re family will think you’re an amazing chef that slaved in the kitchen all day long. The only thing you probably want to add to this is a nice hot batch of Yorkshire puddings…and those are a snap to put together as well.
