Potatoes done in both these ways are great favourites in our household. The kid sounds good, might have to try that.

Thanks for your comments; yeah, it's always great to see places out of main season, they feel so different. We make dandelion salad here too, but throughout all year and without meat. Will try the fondue recipy one day!

Great Alpine recipes. I think, I will start with gratin Savoyard - sounds the simplest :-)

I had to visit your page after I noted your personal motto! Like you, I travel for the food and include recipes too ( I love your fondue recipe) . I've just reviewed some gourmet restaurants in Hanoi so do take a look.

I love to cook and enjoyed reading your Alpine recipes. I think recipes from VTer's home regions are fabulous tips. I wish we saw more! Wow, does that rusty pasta really have 40 garlic cloves???
