Ingredients:• 1 cup yogurt (Greek or regular, but drained)• 1/2 cup whipped cream (prepared)• 2 tbsp sugar (or to taste)Instructions:1. Prepare the yogurt:• Place the yogurt in a clean cloth (cheesecloth works best) or a fine- mesh drainer over a bowl. Let it sit for 1-2 hours to drain out most of the liquid (whey). You want the yogurt to thicken to a creamy consistency.2. Mix with whipped cream:• Once the yogurt is thickened, gently fold it into the whipped cream. Be careful not to over-mix, as you want the filling to stay light and airy.3. Sweeten the mixture:• Add 2 tablespoons of sugar to the yogurt-cream mixture. You can adjust the sweetness to your liking.
Filling and Rolling the Pancakes1. Prepare pancakes: After cooking the chocolate pancakes, let them cool slightly so they're still warm but not too hot to handle.2. Fill the pancakes: Place a spoonful of the yogurt-cream filling in the center of each pancake. Spread it out gently, leaving a bit of space around the edges.

TROUT WITH VEGETABLES

Eat fish at least three times a week? It’s not easy to follow that advice, especially if you live far away from the seaside or your market is poorly supplied. Trout is a common name for various freshwater fish species of the family Salmonidae. Most trout live in freshwater lakes and rivers and they are often raised on fish farms. Because of that, it is not hard to find them inside continental area.Trout are rich with omega-3 fatty acids which lower the risk of heart disease. They lower triglycerides and inflammation levels in healthy adults. The serving of 100 grams provides seven of the B-complex vitamins which facilitate digestion and help your body to extract energy from foods. Trout are also rich in proteins and one serving will provide for you 40% of the daily recommended intake.But, healthy ingredients don’t necessarily mean a healthy meal. The method of preparation is also a key to a healthy life. Medical research has proven that an unhealthy diet, completely flawed food preparation and bad quality cookware are the main cause of all the most serious chronic diseases in the world today. All Zepter cookware guarantees less harmful fats, less calories, but more vitamins, more minerals and more proteins, while preserving the nutritive, biological and organoleptic properties of food.Enjoy in this flavourful and healthy meal!INGREDIENTS (2 PERSONS):1 trout, approx. 600 g100 g zucchini50 g mushrooms2 lemons1 onion2 carrots2 tbsp olive oilMinced pepper at your desire
PREPARATION:

Whether it’s the fact that it evokes memories of seaside vacations or because it pairs so well with champagne, there’s something incredibly luxurious about seafood. Oysters and scallops feel extra special and make for the perfect appetizer at your next holiday or celebration.
We made ours even fancier and tastier by dressing them up with different toppings including mushrooms, pesto, tomatoes and gin! What’s more, no excessive prepping or cooking is needed. Just place your shellfish in Zepter Masterpiece Cookware, without adding any oil or water, cover and turn the heat on to low – that’s it!
When it comes to cooking shellfish there’s really only one rule – the fresher the better. Talk to your local fishmonger and make an order in advance, or inquire about their delivery schedule. If in doubt use the sniff test: shellfish should always smell like the ocean and an overly “fishy” smell probably indicates they’re past their prime.

A quality steak doesn’t require loads of seasonings and is best prepared simply by grilling. The fact that you can eat steak raw in the form of Carpaccio or Steak Tartare speaks to just how tasty, tender and high quality it is. Alternatively, grilled steak is most often served whole and accompanied with flavorful sauces or sliced thinly “tagliata” style, making it a great addition to salads.To make our particular dish even more flavorful, we’ve decided to use aged steak. In order to achieve the flavor qualities and tenderness of aged steak the meat must be “matured” for a few days in controlled conditions. To age your own steak at home, we suggest using our VacSy system as an aging container and letting the meat sit for a few days.Using Zepter Masterpiece Cookware we also prepared creamy mashed potatoes and grilled vegetables to accompany our steak. This completely balanced meal is easy to digest and full of nutrients, proteins, vitamins and fibers. Zepter Masterpiece Cookware's use of superior 316L stainless steel, advanced technology and innovative design enables cooking without water and frying without fats. Food is healthier, yet tastier, retains its natural aromas, flavors, nutritive and biological values and produces no dangerous substances. Ingredients (per person)
250 g aged steak
20 g zucchini
10 g asparagus
10 g pumpkin
20 g broccoli
150 g potatoes
celery leaf pesto
rosemary
1 g black pepper
Preparation:
Wash and chop the vegetables as desired.
Cover the Oval griller -Z-V3025Z and turn the heat on the Induction Cooker to 240°C. Leave for 2 minutes.
Add the steaks to the pan without adding any oil, fat or spices. Cover and reduce temperature to 90°C, since the griller will be hot enough at this point to produce a grill effect.
Grill the steaks on each side for 2 minutes.
Once the steak has charred nicely on both sides, add the rosemary and vegetables to the griller, cover and cook for an additional 5 minutes at 90°C.
Remove the griller from the heat source.
Place the potatoes in a casserole Z-2030 and cook for 20 mins at 90°C, without using any water.
Blend the cooked potatoes using the MixSy until creamy and add the pesto.
Slice the steak tagliata and season with pepper.
Serve in Imperial Gold porcelain. Chef’s recommendation: Let the steak rest for a few minutes before cutting and serving!
Enjoy!Chef Petra Gerić

We’ve already mentioned the nutritional mantra that tells us we should eat fish three times a week for a healthy diet. In terms of the healthiest types, we definitely have to single out semi-fatty fish, which contain the highest levels of omega-3 fatty acids. Our favorite is tuna, a large and quick saltwater fish that is also unique for its high protein content- a staggering 24 grams per 100 grams! It’s also rich in B vitamins, vitamin D, phosphorus, potassium and magnesium.
On top of all that, tuna is an exceptionally flavorful and meaty fish that doesn’t require much more than a quick sear in the pan. We give our tuna some additional flavor by coating it in pumpkin flavor, a great healthy alternative to white flour, and serve it with fresh greens for a healthy and balanced meal that’s ready in under 30 minutes! Thanks to Zepter Masterpiece Cookware you can rest assured that all of your ingredients will be prepared the healthy way- without additional oils or fats and at low temperatures.INGREDIENTS (single serving)

What is the difference between prawns and shrimps? Most people use them as synonyms and think that size is the main distinction between them. Shrimps and prawns look very similar, especially if they are beautifully served in a plate (without a shell).Although prawns are bigger than shrimps in most cases, they have different anatomy: shrimps have claws on two of their five pairs of legs, prawns have claws on three of their five pairs of legs. Shrimps have body shape with distinctive body bend, prawns don’t. Prawns release eggs into the water, while shrimps brood eggs on the underside of their body. If prawns are very big, they are usually called King prawns.But you don’t have to know biology to enjoy in this flavorful meal. Using Zepter dishes will provide the best cooking experience for you – it is not only easy, it’s the healthiest way of preparing food. Food will retain its natural aromas, flavors, nutritive and biological values (vitamins, minerals, proteins, micro and macro trace elements), with fewer calories and no dangerous substances.Try this recipe and tell us how you like it.INGREDIENTS (4 servings)

3 bell peppers (red, yellow, green)
1 green zucchini
5 tomatoes
Celery stalk
500 g fresh sheets of lasagna
A bunch of fresh parsley and chives

If you’ve ever tried fresh pasta, you’ll know there’s no comparing it to the dried variety. Requiring only a few ingredients and your own hands, making homemade pasta is a truly satisfying experience.
Although gnocchi are technically classified as a dumpling, the process of making them is essentially identical to pasta, the only difference being the addition of potatoes and parmesan cheese. Additionally, to make gnocchi, all you need is a rolling pin. No hand crank or special attachments for your mixer required!
Thanks to Zepter Masterpiece Cookware and the Syncro-click lid we were able to pressure cook our potatoes at low heat, with minimal water and in half the time, preserving maximum nutrient value and getting dinner on the table faster!
Next time you’re feeding a crowd, skip the boxed version and impress your guests with the real thing. Serve with a meaty sauce, like Bolognese, or a simple tomato sauce for best results.
Chef’s Tip: Make a bigger batch ahead of time, store in VacSy containers and freeze for up to two months!

Indulge yourself, friends and family with this amazing and simple starter. Seafood is a good source of vitamins, minerals and omega-3 fats and eating one portion of seafood per week can reduce the chances of suffering a heart attack. For this recipe we chose mussels and razor shells.Mussles are rich in selenium, iron, folic acid, vitamin A, vitamin B12, iodine and zinc. High level of chemical iodine might have a positive impact on people with sub-optimal thyroid function. Razor shells are culinary delicacy, but sometimes it may be difficult to find them. We wish you luck in fish market, otherwise we suggest that you substitute them with clams or Noah’s Ark shells.For the special occasion like Christmas we decided to cook in white wine. Enjoy your meal, comment down below and tell us how you like this recipe.Ingredients (4 servings):Pot Z-2440
500 g Cherry tomatoes
Fresh herbs – basil, parsley, chives, cilantro (optional)
1 kg Razor shells
1 kg Mussels
Bunch of spring onions (5 pcs)
Minced pepper
Olive oil (optional)
2 dcl White wine
PREPARATION:
Finely chop spring onion, garlic and tomatoes and put them into a cold pot, cover and cook at medium temperature (160°C) for 5 minutes.
Add the sea shells and pour white wine, then cover and let cook for 10 minutes at lower heat (90°C) until all the shells open. Shake the pot from time to time.
When all the shells are open, remove the cover, add freshly chopped herbs, olive oil and pepper. Be generous with olive oil.
Serve the mussels with garlic bruschetta. If you can, try to use homemade bread to make your dining experience complete.

Rice, Shrimp and Asparagus

As we’ve already mentioned in previous posts, seafood is an incredible source of omega-3 fatty acids and proteins; hence the use of shrimp in our risotto. Today however, we’re going to focus on the asparagus. Often overlooked as an ingredient, asparagus is high in calcium, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron and zinc. Its high nutrient content paired with the fact that it’s considered a diuretic makes it a great body detoxifier. It’s also considered a blood purifier, has positive effects on the adrenal glands, bladder and liver and is a recommended food for anyone who suffers from diabetes – making it an all around healthy and tasty contribution to your diet!
To enhance the flavor of our risotto we also used a pesto, made beforehand, and stored any leftovers in our VacSy container. Food can be stored for up to twice as long in the VacSy, thanks to its unique vacuuming system.This sophisticated dish takes only about 15 minutes to prepare, thanks to our Masterpiece Cookware. Aside from ensuring a short cooking time, food prepared in Zepter cookware retains all of its natural aromas, flavors, nutritive and biological values and is prepared the healthy way – without adding any oils, fats or water. Thanks to 316-L stainless steel, from which our cookware is constructed, no toxic or carcinogenic substances are produced during the cooking process.
INGREDIENTS (4 servings)
4 cups (240 g) rice
8 cups (450 mL) fish stock
500 g shrimp
100 g asparagus
Pesto
Grana Padano
PREPARATION
Place rice into Zepter pot
Turn on induction plate at low heat 90°C and lightly toast the rice, 2 minutes
Add the fish stock and shrimp. Cover and cook for 10 minutes at low heat 90°C
