Savoy cake
This recipe I want to open the door in French gastronomy the historical region of Upper Savoy (Haute-Savoie). This is me beloved Alpine region of France, in close neighborhood with whom are Italy and Switzerland. Until 1536, the Duchy of Savoy owned the Geneva and many other Swiss territories now. Even the emblem of this region is no different from the Swiss flag: a white cross on a red background. However, the same can be said about the kitchen: is a special honor fondue, raclette and of course, cheese. Overall, the Savoyard cuisine is very simple, very satisfying and very Sunny! If you will once in France, visit this wonderful area, and even better, climb to the highest point of the Haute Savoie — the famous and majestic Mont-Blanc.

With the aim to keep more farmers on purpose "was negtaively" cows in the presence of the servants of the Lord. And after the tax collectors had gone, the cows were milked again.
