Alsatian beer soup is one of the most authentic and least-known winter recipes in the regional repertoire. Velvety, slightly bitter, fragrant with cumin and softened with a touch of cream, it is served with toasted gingerbread croutons for a surprising and unforgettable pairing.
Onion soup with Riesling is the Alsatian version of the great French classic. Long-caramelised onions, a stock fragrant with Alsatian Riesling and generously Munster-gratinéed croutons - a comforting and refined soup that reinvents a popular dish with the finest produce of the Alsatian terroir.
Smoked palette with lentils is one of the most emblematic winter dishes of Alsatian cuisine. The long-simmered smoked pork shoulder pairs perfectly with soft, aromatic lentils. A generous, economical and deeply comforting dish, worthy of the finest Alsatian winstubs.
The Mannele is the unmissable Alsatian brioche of 6 December. This small golden figure, soft and lightly sweetened, is given to children on Saint Nicholas Day in every bakery across Alsace. Here is the traditional recipe to make it at home, with baking secrets and delicious variations.
Schniederspaetzle are one of the most comforting dishes in Alsatian cuisine. These homemade fresh pasta - cousins of Spätzle - are pan-fried in butter with long-caramelised onions. A simple, generous dish deeply rooted in the tradition of Alsatian winstubs.
Melted Munster with caraway is the simplest and most effective Alsatian hot starter. In under 15 minutes, this emblematic Alsatian cheese transforms into a melting, caraway-scented dish, irresistible served with toasted country bread and a glass of Gewurztraminer.
The Matelote of the Rhine is one of the great overlooked classics of Alsatian cuisine. This freshwater fish stew - carp, pike, perch, eel - simmered in Riesling with shallots, mushrooms and cream, is a recipe from the Rhenish river heritage of rare elegance and generosity.
The quetsch plum Streusel is the emblematic dessert of the Alsatian autumn. A soft yeasted dough, melting slightly tart quetsch plums and a golden crispy streusel topping - three simple layers that make one of the most delicious cakes in Alsatian baking.
Knepfle are the ultimate Alsatian homemade pasta - small irregular dumplings, soft at heart and golden in brown butter. Simple to make, generous on the palate, they embody Alsatian comfort food at its most authentic and most comforting.
The traditional and authentic recipe for Alsatian potato fritters, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, with tasty variations featuring lardons, gruyère or salmon.
