Burgundy is, obviously, famous for its wine – but the food is pretty fantastic, too. When I visited the region to research The Lost Vintage, my favorite treat was the gougère – a cheese puff that is at once savory, crisp, and tender. As it turns out, gougères hail from Burgundy where they traditionally accompanied cellar wine tastings. Made of choux pastry, they seem mercurial to cook. In fact, they are ridiculously simple – so easy, I often bake them with my four-year-old daughter. Although some choose to pipe the dough into mounds, I prefer to shape it with spoons, which creates a rough surface that turns golden and crunchy in the oven. If you make these, beware: a batch doesn’t last long.
