Miniature Swiss Chalet

Thursday, March 17, 2011 By: LoveMyCuckoo

My mother is very proud of her Swiss heritage. She learned all sorts of traditional Swiss recipes from my grandmother who learned them from her mother, and so on. Switzerland is known for its decadent cheeses like gruyere, vacherin, and appenzeller. Fondue and raclette are also popular.

For Mother’s Day last year I bought my mother and grandmother chalet cuckoo clocks. Wouldn’t you know that they both hung the clocks in their respective kitchens? My mom says that she likes looking up at the clock when she’s preparing traditional Swiss foods. If it keeps the rosti coming, then maybe I should buy her even more chalet clocks!
