Last Wednesday I had the perfect meal. It began with gruyere donuts, stayed a while with a rye flight and a deconstructed rabbit pot pie, and ended with gougeres filled with mornay sauce. Yes, the each bookend to this perfect meal was gruyere. All bookends should be gruyere-based, as it turns out. Just imagine, beginning [...]
