Cheese Souffle for Twenty-Four
Sam and Julia Krieg serve their souffl�s, along with homebaked bread, sausage, and strudels, at a long wooden table surrounded by ladder-back chairs. This recipe is “contrary” to more traditional souffl� preparations, but the Kriegs say their beautiful, aromatic dish invariably evokes sighs of contentment all around the table. �Captain Schoonmaker’s, High Falls, New York
