Hi, I'm Andie.
I live near the Swiss Alps, in Bern, and I love not only melting cheese, but all kinds of Swiss cooking.

A classic dish that has been around for centuries, these fried sage leaves whose name translates to “sage mice”, are so called because they resemble the little critters, with the stems as tails.
Switzerland has some seriously great craft beer and the highest brewery to citizen ratio in the world.
The grandfather of craft beer in Switzerland is Brasserie de Franches Montagnes, or BFM, who make a lovely brown ale, La Torpille, perfect for flavouring ice cream.
According to the Oxford Companion to Beer, in 1890 there were 500 domestic breweries in Switzerland. By 1998, there were only about 24 breweries left.
So what happened?
