Their history, which spans centuries, is kept alive thanks to families who have handed down these recipes from one generation to the next. There are delicious first courses, hearty meat dishes, doughnuts and desserts, cold and warm delicacies. ALPINE FLAVOURS includes 80 traditional recipes that anyone can prepare.
