Beet Cheese Salad with beets, goat cheese and walnuts — France recipe

Salads

Beet Cheese Salad

Beet and goat cheese salad (salade de betteraves au chèvre in French) is roasted beets, soft goat cheese and toasted walnuts on salad leaves, dressed with a honey and balsamic vinaigrette. The beets take 45 to 60 minutes in the oven, which is most of the 70 minutes; the rest is slicing and a dressing shaken in a jar. The parts are layered rather than tossed, so the goat cheese stays white instead of turning pink.

Salads

Crispy Duck Salad

Crispy duck salad is warm pan-fried duck breast sliced over crisp leaves and raw vegetables, dressed with soy, honey, ginger and sesame. The duck is cooked skin-side down from a cold pan so the fat renders out slowly and the skin turns glass-crisp, while the meat stays pink. The rich duck against cold, crunchy vegetables is the point of the dish.

Roquefort Salad with lettuce, roquefort and pear — France recipe

🇫🇷FranceMedium

Salads

Roquefort Salad

Roquefort salad is a French composed salad built around Roquefort, the pungent blue-veined sheep's-milk cheese aged in the limestone caves of Roquefort-sur-Soulzon, paired here with sweet pear and toasted walnuts. Mixed greens carry thin red onion, sliced pear, dried cherries or cranberries, and crumbled Roquefort, tossed in a honey-mustard vinaigrette that ties the sharp cheese to the sweeter ingredients. The contrast between the cave-aged cheese and the crunchy walnuts makes every bite bold and interesting.

Lentil Bolognese with red lentils, crushed tomatoes and tomato paste — Italy recipe

🇮🇹ItalyMedium

Cereal and Pasta Dishes

Lentil Bolognese

Red lentils simmered with soffritto, tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, and red wine into a thick, deeply savory pasta sauce. No meat, no substitutes — just lentils doing what they do best when you give them enough time and heat. The sauce works because red lentils dissolve into the tomato base, thickening it while adding body and protein. Walnuts, added near the end, give the sauce a slight richness and something to chew on. The whole thing takes about 40 minutes and tastes better the next day.

Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting with flour, baking powder and cinnamon — USA recipe

🇺🇸USAAdvanced

Sweet Dishes

Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

Carrot cake is one of the very few cakes where the vegetable in the name is not a compromise — it genuinely makes the cake better. Freshly grated carrots release moisture directly into the batter and carry the spices into every crumb. The cake uses oil rather than butter, which keeps it moist even straight from the fridge. Brown sugar adds molasses depth that plain white sugar doesn't. The cream cheese frosting is the best part: tangy, rich, and not too sweet when you use a measured hand with the icing sugar. This is a two-layer cake assembled with frosting between the layers and swirled over the top and sides.

Muhammara with roasted red peppers, walnuts and pomegranate molasses — Lebanon recipe

🇱🇧LebanonMedium

Sauces and Dips

Muhammara

Muhammara comes from Aleppo, Syria, and the name is Arabic for 'reddened'. It's a roasted red pepper and walnut dip with a flavor unlike anything else in the mezze world: sweet from the peppers, tangy from pomegranate molasses, earthy from toasted walnuts, with a slow heat from Aleppo pepper. Breadcrumbs give it body and a slightly grainy texture that holds up on pita. The dip improves overnight — the flavors round out and the texture firms slightly. Unlike hummus, which can be polarising, muhammara tends to win over everyone who tries it.
