Foods of the Week...
Picture A: This Forest Rösti with grated potatoes, ham, bacon, mushroom, and sour cream might be compared to a potato pancake in some regions. But in Colmar, they serve a hearty helping in a cast iron pan.
Picture C: Baeckeoffe d’ Alsace is a regional potée (traditional stew) which takes its name from the terre cotta baking dish used to bake this meal. Local and seasonal vegetables are mixed with meats (lamb, beef, and pork) and cooked all day..
Picture B: Flammekueche (tarte flambée) are similar to the Italian pizza, but the crust is rolled as thin as a Mexican tortilla. They are typically topped with crème fraiche 1-3 other ingredients.

Recipe of the Week...
Travel involves trying new foods and new ways of preparing food.
Here are some recipes you can make at home just like we did.
Whether you call it a square, marketplace, piazza, cognate, or plaza, for centuries, human life revolved around the center of town. No matter where you lived or how you lived the stones in the town square connected us together. As the gathering place, the town square allowed people to assemble for food, news, skills, religions, advice, politics, music, etc. As we travel and experience the town squares in other countries, we hope to enrich our perspectives of people and yours. We are all human though we walk on different paths.
A Place for All
Take five. You deserve it! Many cultures around the world highly regard coffee or coffee breaks. Whether you have a cafe des epices in Morocco, a phe sua da in Vietnam, or a Fika in Sweden, there is always time to slow life and have a coffee break with us.
Coffee or Cocktail?
The production and consumption of alcoholic beverages date back to ancient civilizations. Societies and cultures around the world have made use of alcohol in their religion, medicine, purity measurements, trade, funerary, and entertainment. Drink with us around the world.
Where are we drinking?
The Normandy region of France makes some of the best apple cider with an alcohol content of between two and six percent, depending on its fermentation. It competes annually with Brittany for the top producer in France.
