Bredele Recipe

Chef Luc Dimnet, of Brasserie in New York City, was born in Strasbourg, Alsace, where the Christmas traditions are strong and alive. Many picturesque villages and towns set up Christmas markets, where local artisans display their wares, from ornaments to gingerbread and cookies.A Christmas at Luc’s home would always include bredele, the famous Alsatian cookies, as well as a goose. As a child, he used to help his grandmother “Mémé Adèle” prepare enough cookies to feed a crowd of 25 family members Dimnet continues the tradition and bakes bredele with his children Lucas, 5, and Valentina, 3. — Allison BeckCrémant d’Alsace, a lovely sparkling wine, is perfect to serve with bredele!
