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.
All tagged chestnuts
The Coupe Nesselrode—vanilla ice cream, vermicelles, meringue and whipped cream—is an exquisite autumn sundae.
Pane dei morti, Bread of the Dead, is a cookie that was traditionally baked throughout Italy and Italian Switzerland to commemorate the dead.
In 2011, Sam received his doctorate in Mathematics. His thesis was called Justification Logics with Common Knowledge, and he asked me to proofread the English for him. It was nearly flawless, but he still offered to compensate my services in any way I saw fit. For me, the most logical choice was to be paid in my favourite food, chestnuts.
A little while ago we got the call, same as every year.
"They're here."
Pears that is.
These chestnuts, glazed with caramel, feature in the Wildteller.
(And they are excellent spooned over ice cream as well.)
Wild is the German word for game (as in animals that you can hunt). Autumn is Wild season and restaurants all over Switzerland and central Europe prepare plates that feature game meats and traditional side dishes.
