mountain pastures. The basic element of this cost-effi cient
farmer food was a piece of rich seasoned Swiss cheese, which was

stabbed on a fork, roasted and then scraped off with a wooden
spatula. Potatoes, cooked with peels, pickles and small onions,
smoked ham and local dry white wine were served along side the
dish.
This, however, is just the foundation of this traditional farmer's
recipe, prepared in a temporary dwelling using the most basic
ingredients available.
Over the years, this dish has undergone many changes and today,
we perceive the raclette as not only cheese, but all of the side
dishes, the roasting device and the method of roasting. Various
types of cheeses, which melt when heated, can be used for
preparing raclettes. Raclettes, however, are not only made from
cheese. Smoked fi sh, asparagus, scrambled eggs and fruit can be
used as well.
Raclette
Raclette, in terms of international cooking, is both the cheese as
well as the entire dish prepared and the device used to prepare it.
Each of these devices are equipped with an area, where you can
either grill or maintain the food, such as meat, fi sh, vegetables,
potatoes and fruits warm. The top removable plate, made of
marble, cast iron or aluminium is given an anti-adhesive layer. The
bottom level, heated by a heating unit, contains pans with an anti-
stick layer. These are used for thawing food. Ingredients shall be
prepared in advance on a serving plate. The raclette device can
