Hi, I'm Andie.
I live near the Swiss Alps, in Bern, and I love not only melting cheese, but all kinds of Swiss cooking.

A nog-adjacent, custardy drink where the booze is already included in the bottle.
Like Switzerland’s beloved boozy coffee, but in cake form.
Although it takes a bit of time, I love making this cake. It looks impressive and tastes wonderful, especially if you aren’t shy with the kirsch that features throughout.
After a hard day of breaking flax, there’s no better reward than this traditional caramel schnapps.
The Basler Kirschenbrottorte is just what the German describes—cherry bread cake from Basel. It's basically a big bread pudding, chock full of cherries.
Of course the best kirsch should be drunk alone, however there are a wealth of drinks, like this Kirsch Sour, that could be made with less exclusive varieties (I know everyone who has ever made cheese fondue has a bottle in their liquor cabinet).
This version of the classic cake uses fresh cherries, and swaps out the whipped cream centre for a chocolate based filling.
The cheesy Swiss classic.
A Swiss classic, I remember my mum's Rüeblitorte (carrot cake) fondly. She never iced it, so I always felt like I could eat it for breakfast.
