“Kish Loren” (also called Lorraine cake) is one of the few dishes that are equally tasty both hot and cold. It is perfect for a hearty breakfast, as well as for a nutritious lunch and a great dinner. “Kish Loren”, the classic recipe of which was invented in the 16th century in Lorraine, is an open shortcrust pastry pie . In those days, frugal locals made a basket of dough, put all the food left over from dinner, poured milk and eggs into it, and baked it.
