Western Europe

Nine countries comprise Western Europe. France, of course, gave us haute cuisine and the restaurant and created a gastronomic field for talking about food. Knowledge of food and wine seems almost part of the French character. Next door, German cuisine favors meat and potatoes. Known for beer, Germany’s Riesling wines also rank among the world’s best. Austria is also a strong wine country. Gruner Veltliner is a signature Austrian wine. Famous for Wienerschnitzel, pastries, and coffee culture, Austrian cuisine was built on Hungarian and Czech traditions (resulting in goulash, for example), along with German influences. Belgium is known for French fries (mussels and frites), beer, chocolate, and waffles. Belgian cuisine often has a French inflection. Switzerland is no slouch in chocolate- and cheese-making. For dinner, a resident of Zurich might enjoy veal simmered with mushrooms in a cream sauce served over fried grated potatoes (rosti).

About me:
 I moved to france 2 years ago. I miss a lot of regular food, like cookies, cheesecake, bbq chicken, hamburgers, the list goes on. I look up recipes on this site when I'm in the mood of something I can't find in the store. But I'm still limited by ingredients, because I can't find everything here. Or if I can it's really over price.

Chess Cake

Reviewed on May 9, 2008 by MANDILYN66
I received this recipe from a friend years ago and gets many many compliments and recipe requests when I make it. The base layer is very stiff, not at all like cake batter. I've found it's easier to dive in with my hands to mix it than to try and use a spoon. I cut it into small (small because it's very rich) squares...great for parties!
