France has always been famous for its cheese, wine, crêpes and croissants. However today we want to introduce you to a very ancient tradition from Alsace that is a well kept secret. This small region has maintained a typical dish called “tarte flambée” which actually means “flamed pie”. The pie has a rectangular or circular shaped dough, always topped with onion and “crème fraîche” and some other ingredients.

If you happened to be in this part of the world, a region between two countries  with a rich culture, you should not focus only in food. As well as having one of the delicious “tartes flambées” (also called Flammkuchen in German) you should visit Strasbourg, World Heritage site where the Cathedral is really worth a visit and you will have to  discover the rest by yourself!

Bon Apetit and Bon Voyage!
