One of my favourite things about going on holiday is the chance to eat even more than normal! and hopefully try some new things too!
After a bit of a faff sorting out where the machine would go and getting it all set up, a huge half a cheese was brought out of the kitchen and to our table. We were given pretty basic instructions on how to actually use the machine and then we were ready to go. Essentially you manoeuvre your cheese under the hot grill until enough is melted, then using a special wooden paddle you scrape all of the melted goodness pretty much all over you plate of food! This continues until either you run out of cheese (absolutely no chance!) or your stomach gives up after way way way too much cheese and you begin to sweat slightly before having to go home and try to get some sleep in-between the really weird dreams! It was all totally worth it though!
This was such a unique and delicious experience one I hope never to forget and something I would defiantly like to go back and do again!
Thank you for reading :)

I have just come back from a week of skiing in the French alps and althoigh the whole holiday was amazing! there is one major thing that sticks out!
Melted cheese is pretty much one of my favourite things! but in France they really know how to do this right! Racclette is a special type of cheese that has a particularly good and gooey melting point! making it perfect for pouring over just about anything and in particular cold meats, potatoes and bread!
We found a lovely little deli shop in Morzine village that for 9 euros each the lovely French man (complete with black beret!) will lend you a raccelt machine as well as enough meats, cheeses and potatoes to feed a little army!(or sink a small ship) Combined with some lovely local wine this evening was so much fun!
Its pretty hard to top an at home raclette party unless you happen to go to Le Grillon, The local restaurant that we stumbled into on our last night in Morzine. Here they offer a proper raclette (minimum two people) and they like to do it properly, without the fancy modern machine!
