An Alsacian onion tart…and the wines to go with it

Smoked mackerel dauphinoise
Can you remember the days before the internet? When recipes came in magazines and cookery books or from friends? When there was no ‘forward slash’, ‘point com’ or ‘punto com’ to be spelled out? I can and I have fond … Continue reading
