Ingredients 300 g of quality pasta Ingredients – sauce 450 g red peppers 1 head of garlic 60 g mascarpone fresh or dried thyme fresh or dried oregano freshly ground/crushed black Kampot pepper Kampot salt Ingredients – breadcrumbs 25 g breadcrumbs (ideally homemade from dried bread) 30 g Parmesan or Pecorino fresh or dried thyme Instructions 1. Wash the peppers, place them on a baking tray/dish, add the garlic head cut on one side and drizzle with a little olive oil. Bake in a preheated oven at 220 °C. During baking, turn the peppers and bake for about 30 minutes until they are soft and browned to almost black on the outside. 2. Immediately put the finished peppers into a medium bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap so no air can escape – the peppers need to steam. After 5-10 minutes, remove the peppers, discard the seeds and peel, which should come off easily due to the steaming. 3. Peel or squeeze out the individual garlic cloves from the head and blend together with the peeled peppers until smooth.4. Then cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Never put pasta into cold water and always salt the water sufficiently! Also, make sure it is cooked "al dente," meaning with a bite. After cooking, briefly warm the pasta in the sauce where it will finish cooking. 5. Transfer the blended pepper sauce to a wider pot or a deeper pan and start heating it. Add salt, thyme leaves, and oregano to taste and let the specific herbs settle (optionally half a teaspoon to 1 full teaspoon of dried seasoning).6. Continue by adding mascarpone and stir it into the sauce. Finally, season with freshlyground/crushed black pepper – ideally Kampot , which has a noticeably more pleasant and pronounced flavor than regular black pepper.7. Drain the cooked pasta and transfer it to the pot/pan with the sauce. Warm together for half a minute. In a chopper/blender, grind Parmesan and thyme together with the breadcrumbs. If the breadcrumbs are not crunchy enough by themselves, toast them beforehand in a dry pan and let cool.8. Serve the finished pasta with sauce sprinkled with cheesy breadcrumbs, fresh herbs, and black Kampot pepper.   Enjoy your meal! Author: Mamachefcz

Ingredients for 20 pieces 500 g plain flour 7 g dried yeast 2 tablespoons granulated sugar 1 teaspoon salt a little oil 300–320 ml lukewarm water a pinch of dark red Kampot pepper For decoration, you can use, for example, sunflower or sesame seeds. Procedure 1. Put the yeast, a teaspoon of sugar, 100 ml of lukewarm water into a bowl, stir and let the yeast start to foam. Then add another 200 ml of warm water and finally add the flour and salt. 2. Knead a smooth dough. If the dough is too thick, add the remaining water. Shape the kneaded dough into a ball and place it in a bowl greased with oil. Cover with a cloth and let it rise in a warm place. The dough can also be prepared in a home bread maker. Use the Dough program. 3. Preheat the oven to 220 °C (200 °C for fan ovens). 4. Once the dough has risen, shape it into balls (size depending on how big you want the bagels) and place them on a floured work surface. Insert a wooden spoon handle into the center of each ball and, with circular movements on the surface, create a hole or ring. When all the bagels have holes, cover them with a cloth and let them rise for about half an hour. 5. In a larger wide pot, bring water to a boil and add a teaspoon of sugar. Reduce the heat, put the bagels into the pot gradually (about 4 at a time), and boil each side for half a minute. Remove with a slotted spoon and place the bagels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush them with beaten egg and sprinkle with seeds to your taste. Put them in the oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes. Author's tip For the filling, I chose smoked curd cheese whipped with cream, a pinch of salt, and a unique and extraordinary pepper – ideally Kampot dark red pepper. Its flavor has exotic undertones and an amazing fruity aroma, and it is gently sweet. I like to work with it not only in savory dishes but also in my special desserts, ice creams, and jams. It wonderfully complements the flavors of other ingredients. In my filling, it blends with smoked curd cheese, prosciutto, and homemade cheese.   Enjoy your meal!

Ingredients 200 ml olive oil Pomace or extra light (or rapeseed oil) 1 whole egg, preferably from a home farm 1 teaspoon coarse salt (or 1/2 teaspoon table salt or 1 anchovy) 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard 1 teaspoon lemon juice 1 teaspoon crushed white Kampot pepper in a mortar white Kampot pepper Optional 1 teaspoon sugar (honey) Only if you can have sugar, but then it’s no longer sugar-free, yet still an excellent mayonnaise. Procedure 1. Put everything into a container, immerse the stick blender all the way to the bottom. Turn the blender on to the highest power and keep it completely still at the bottom. 2. As the emulsion starts to lift from the bottom, be patient and keep the stick blender at the bottom. 3. When most of the emulsion rises around the head, only then slowly lift the head upwards. Then you can slowly stir and blend the entire contents until all the oil is emulsified. 4. Finally, use a spatula to scrape everything from the blender head into the container and season your homemade mayonnaise with salt and pepper to taste. 5. Transfer everything into a sealable jar and store in the fridge, where it will keep for up to 10 days. Author's tip It may happen that you remove the stick blender a little too early or there is air under the head, the mayonnaise won't emulsify and you will have two separated emulsions in the container. Here is a quick fix. Remove the stick blender, crack one whole egg into the container with the oil and emulsion, and repeat the process. This time, be patient and remove the head a little later than the first time. It has never failed anyone.   Enjoy your meal! Author: Mari Klee

Ingredients 1.5 kg beef meat 350 g pancetta 2 cans of tomatoes in their own juice 1 large bottle of strained tomatoes 3 carrots 2 celery stalks 1 onion 2 garlic cloves 300 ml red Chianti wine (or Primitivo) 300 ml beef broth olive oil Kampot salt Black Kampot pepper cloves ½ teaspoon grated nutmeg Italian lasagna pasta 400–500 g Parmesan 500 ml whole milk 50 g butter 50 g plain flour Instructions 1. Grind the lean beef meat. 2. Heat olive oil in a pan, or if you make a proper beef broth, you will have leftover fat. Sauté pancetta and finely chopped onion along with carrots and celery. Fry until the vegetables soften and turn golden, about 15 minutes. Add garlic and sauté for 2 minutes. 3. Add the meat, salt and pepper with Kampot pepper, and cook until the juice forms. Pour in the red wine; at this point, you can add a sprig of rosemary for aroma, stir and cook for about 35 minutes until the alcohol evaporates. 4. Pour in the broth and add finely chopped tomatoes in lime juice and strained tomatoes. Simmer on low heat for about 2 hours. If needed, add more broth. 5. In a pot, melt the butter and add the sifted flour. When the ingredients combine into a paste, pour in the milk – the milk should ideally be boiled once with an onion into which you have previously stuck a clove and pierced with a fork to release better aroma and juice. Then let the milk cool, pour it over the paste and sauté. If you forget the milk or do not boil it, it will not be the same. Cook on low heat for about 20 minutes. When the sauce is glossy, add nutmeg and a handful or two of Parmesan. 6. Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Prepare the lasagna in boiling water. Soak them in several pieces, but not until fully soft, so they don’t become too soggy after baking. Grease the bottom of the dish with olive oil and béchamel and layer – lasagna, béchamel, ragù and Parmesan. The last layer will be lasagna, béchamel and Parmesan. 7. Bake for about 45 minutes until the lasagna is beautifully golden – be careful not to burn it.   Enjoy your meal! Author: Nemehlo in the kitchen

Ingredients 2 marrow bones front beef for soup Grüner Veltliner white wine (approx. 0.75 l) 2 tablespoons oil salt, can be for example  Kampot coarse sea salt black Kampot pepper bay leaf 2 larger carrots 1 parsley garlic kohlrabi white onion celery spring onion Procedure 1. Place the bones and meat on a roasting pan – season with salt, pepper, and drizzle with oil. Roast in the oven at 240 °C for about 30–40 minutes, then remove the meat and trim it. Put the bones back in the oven for another 20 minutes. 2. Drain the fat from the roasting pan and save it for sauces later. Put the bones into a pot and cover them with cold water. Scrape the drippings from the roasting pan and pour them into the pot with the bones. 3. Place the root vegetables on a baking sheet and roast for 15–20 minutes. Then toss them into the pot, add the wine (use about a whole bottle for 15 liters) and cover with cold water. 4. Add Kampot pepper and other seasonings, bay leaf, parsley leaves, the remaining vegetables, and cook over low heat for about 9–16 hours. Every hour, skim off the foam to keep the soup clear. For the same reason, only add cold water to the broth if needed. 5. Do not cover the pot with a lid nor stir the soup; steam must escape, and condensation must not form in the pot so the broth can breathe. 6. After 16 hours, the broth is excellent! Strain it through a sieve. Discard the vegetables; fresh ones can be prepared for the soup by sautéing in butter. Cut potatoes into cubes and cook in salted water, and roast garlic in its skin for 10–15 minutes in the oven, then unwrap and serve on a plate with the soup. Before serving, you can sprinkle with spring onions and add chili. 7. According to taste, you can add noodles to the soup – homemade or store-bought. The broth keeps well strained in the fridge for a long time, but you can also freeze it, for example in an ice cube tray, and then use it anytime for sauces.   Enjoy your meal!
