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.

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.
Brönnti Creme is a beloved Swiss dessert that you’ll find on the menu everywhere, from Grosi’s kitchen to high-end restaurants.
Although it’s a simple dish, there are still many ways to mess it up.
Although it’s now an absolute standard of Swiss cuisine, the famous dish Zürich Geschnetzeltes (or Züri Gschnätzlets in dialect) is relatively modern, first appearing in the late 1940s.
It was Swiss farmers who first enjoyed Rösti—for breakfast. Today, this grated, fried potato pancake is enjoyed at any time of day, either as its own meal or as a side dish.
Easily Switzerland's most famous bread, Zopf is enjoyed in all regions of the country, particularly the Emmental, where butter is treasured and added to the bread with abandon, and the braids are often giant and sold by the metre.
Delicious and wholesome, this polenta cake is stuffed with apples and raisins. Baked throughout central Switzerland, this particular variety comes from the canton of Nidwalden.
Flaky pastry stuffed with apples, cheese, potatoes, onions, leeks, bacon, and pears.
In Switzerland there typically isn't a set food to eat during the holidays, but somewhere between Christmas and New Year most Swiss families eat a fondue. Whether Cheese or Chinoise, forks are dipped.
It's hard to imagine anything better than the Linzer Torte, so imagine my surprise at discovering the St Galler Klostertorte, its cousin from over the alps, made Swiss by adding, of course, chocolate.
The two best ways to sell dessert, a chef once told me, are to make it either nostalgic or do-it-yourself. Either something that tastes like childhood or something you have to actively do: pour something, roast a marshmallow, etc. The Coupe Dänemark hits all the buttons, and perhaps the combination of flavours, chocolate and vanilla, along with the simple act of pouring a sauce, make it the perpetual favourite it is today.
