A selection of recipes from the same country.
This recipe is from France
This is more of a mingle food than a typical soft bread. It is salty thanks to the ham and olives. If you cut the bread in small cubes it is better served as a starter or a side dish than on the breakfast table. It is possible to change to black olives if you prefer it over the green ones.
This is a homemade chocolate cheesecake prepared in a slightly different way than the traditional cheesecake. The bottom is made with pink biscuits from the region Reims in France. The closest you can come to these biscuits are pink lady fingers. Instead of serving a full round cheesecake this recipe prepare the cake in small single portions instead.
This is a traditional homemade roast beef from the region Alsace in France. The dish is served together with Alsatian pasta called Spätzele. To get the meat really tender, let the meat soak in the marinade over the night before the dish will be served. The portions are usually very big in this part of the country so you will not be hungry after a dinner like this.
