Easter Saturday: Irish stewed kid with Guinness and prunes

30/03/2013 by Ellen Wallace

GENEVA, SWITZERLAND – Tomorrow is the classic roast, gigot d’agneau, for Easter dinner at our house.

Recipe: Alps winter rainy day soup, sausage

04/01/2010 by Ellen Wallace

by Ellen Wallace You come to the Alps in winter with expectations of glorious blue skies and pristine white slopes, accompanied by the warming tones of cheese fondue, raclette and gluh wine or laced coffee taken in the brisk outdoor air.
