A French cheese cake from the region Alsace where the cake is called käsküeche. The bottom is made like a pie bottom and not like the usual cheese cake bottom with biscuits crumbles. It is big, fluffy, and less sweet than the American or English versions. You can add some citron peel in the cake to have a different taste.
This is a homemade remake of the traditional French Bûche de Noël. Instead of a big log it's made in small single portions. The fun part is to do the decoration on top of the cake, and sense you have many small logs you can decorate them all different from each other if you like.
This potato gratin is wonderful thanks to the soft and creamy potatoes combined together with the melted cheese and salty bacon. The gratin is considered to be a side dish but can also turn to be the highlight of the meal. To even enhance the flavor more you can add some garlic and onion in the gratin.
