Potato Leek Soup Recipe
There’s something about curling up with a warm bowl of soup, especially on a snowy winter day. And since we’ve got plenty of snow, we wanted to share with you one of our favorite (and easiest) recipes.

Eating Local: With Kerrin Rousset of MyKugelhopf
Perhaps one of the biggest misunderstandings about Swiss culture is that our food consists only of dried meats and melted cheese. Of course, this over-simplification has its roots in the fact that our meats and cheese are just that good.

But from time to time, you’ll wish that you could explore the more nuanced side of Swiss cuisine. With the gorgeous farm land and fresh market offerings, there must be more to it, non? For ideas, we turned to some local food bloggers here in Switzerland and asked them
