Switzerland

Wine and food in Switzerland, what Swiss people eat and drink and how they cook.

Swiss braided butter bread

This is a traditional Swiss bread consisting of flour, butter, yeast, milk, and egg yolk. It is characterized by its soft texture and braided appearance. This bread is usually eaten on Sunday mornings together with everything else that can go for a brunch, such as butter, jam, ham, or cheese. It’s a kind of bread, therefore not really sweet!

Swiss potato rösti

Rösti is made with onions, Appenzeller cheese, and caraway seeds in German cantons, while you'll see tomatoes, sweet paprika, and Gruyere cheese in French cantons, and you will notice the addition of rosemary in the Italian ones.
