Series 1: Episode 5

Sitting between Germany and France, Alsace is frontier land with a cuisine to match. In Strasbourg, Eva stops off at Brasserie Le Tigre for a beer (brassier means ‘to brew’) and a deliciously creamy tarte flambee. Then there's a trip to guide Coralie Andt’s restaurant, known as a winstub, where French wines can be enjoyed with plenty of cheese and sausage – as well as more sausage with sauerkraut cooked in white Riesling wine.\n\nWith French tarts in a brasserie that serves German-style beer, and German sausage in a winstub serving French white wine, Alsace is defined by its competing national influences.
