my own Raclette experience

Like Jessica explained in the previous entry, La Raclette is a dish with many parts, but easy to prepare. You just need a "Machine à Raclette"

I was lucky to have been invited into a French home for some. It is the perfect dish for a convivial soirée, and often it is precisely the dish to serve when inviting people over. This particular occasion was a birthday.


Lots of cutting/slicing. But after the lengthy preparation, it's self-serve! 


A wonderful spread

A special cheese for Raclette is used. Flavorful and perfect for melting at hot temperatures

getting ready... à table. 

A 8-10 person machine.

The cheese takes just a minute or two to melt. You take it out when it begins to bubble!

You must not forget the Cornichons (small pickles) for an added touch of flavor.

Yummy, delicious, melty, cheese, potato and MEAT goodness.
