"Raclette is a wonderful cheese originating in Switzerland. We enjoyed a variation of this appetizer at the 7th annual Kohler Food & Wine Experience held in Kohler, Wisconsin. Chef Ryan Anderson was our presenter and used truffles in his original recipe...however, for those of us who can't afford to use truffles, he suggested using other woodsy flavored mushrooms. This is to be served with my recipe for recipe#263129."
