The Grand Est region is famous for its potters, who perpetuate time-honoured skills in the service of a cuisine that may be gourmet, but is above all comforting. Today, the potters of Alsace can obtain the "Poteries d'Alsace" designation, by respecting specific and traditional manufacturing techniques. When the cold weather sets in, what better way to warm up than with a typical Alsatian dish! Baeckeoffe, sauerkraut, kougelhopf - these tasty regional dishes are simmered in containers that are themselves made in the region. Often decorated with hand-painted floral or geometric motifs, their deep shape allows the ingredients to be evenly distributed for perfect cooking. There's still plenty of tradition to enjoy!
