Let’s have dinner in Switzerland and dessert in Austria! I love the approach of this book – we visit four different countries of the Alpine region: France, Italy, Austria and Switzerland. It’s fun to see the overlap in cuisines and the differences. Pizokel are very much like spaetzle, but the Swiss version. Kaiserschmarn is a very Alpine dessert but comes from Austria. It’s sort of a giant pancake that is torn, flambéed, dusted with powdered sugar and served family style in the pan it is made in with plum jam. What’s not to love?
