In this category you will find recipes that have Swiss roots.
Swiss cuisine is unique in its many regional influences from its neighbours, including Italy, France, and Germany. However, the Swiss also have their own unique dishes. Switzerland was for a long time a country of farmers, so their specialties involve [[potatoes]] and [[cheese]] and also some more exquisite foods such as [[chocolate]].

The four linguistic regions of Switzerland (German, French, Italian and Romansh (spoken almost uniquely in Graubünden Canton)) each provide some special dishes. Most of which can be found throughout Switzerland.

Foods often associated with Switzerland include [[cheese]] and [[chocolate]]. [[:Category:Swiss cheeses|Swiss cheeses]], in particular [[Emmental cheese]], [[Gruyère]], [[Vacherin]], and [[Appenzeller cheese|Appenzeller]], are famous Swiss products. The most popular [[cheese]] dishes are [[fondue]] and [[Raclette]]. Both these dishes were originally regional dishes, but were popularised by the Swiss Cheese Union to boost sales of [[cheese]].

[[Rösti]] is a popular potato dish that is eaten all over Switzerland. It was originally a breakfast food, but this has been replaced by müsli, which is commonly eaten for breakfast. For breakfast and dinner many Swiss enjoy sliced [[bread]] with [[butter]] and [[jam]]. There is a wide variety of [[bread]] rolls available in Switzerland. [[Bread]] and [[cheese]] is a popular dish for dinner.
[[Tarts]] and quiches are also traditional Swiss dishes. [[Tarts]] in particular are made with all sorts of toppings, from sweet [[apple]] to [[onion]]. Cervelat or cervelas is considered the national [[sausage]], and is popular all over Switzerland.

There are a great number of regional dishes in Switzerland. One example is [[Zürcher Geschnetzeltes (Zürich cut meat)|Zürcher Geschnetzeltes]] — thin strips of [[veal]] with [[mushrooms]] in a [[cream]] sauce served with [[rösti]]. Italian cuisine is popular in contemporary Switzerland, particularly [[pasta]] and [[pizza]].

In the Italian speaking part of Switzerland, the Ticino area, one will find a type of restaurant unique to the region. The Grotto is a rustic eatery, offering traditional food ranging from [[pasta]] to home made [[meat]] specialties. Popular dishes are Luganighe and Luganighetta, types of artisan [[sausages]]. Authentic grottoes are old wine caves re-functioned into restaurants.
