Lightened versions of classics

Do you like classics but don't want to hibernate after every lunch? Here you'll find familiar dishes in lighter versions – less fat, more vegetables, smartly chosen sides. Svíčková, goulash, schnitzel or potato salad don't try to pretend to be a cucumber salad, but they're much more acceptable for an everyday menu. Ideal when you don't want to compromise between taste and conscience.
