Le gâteau de Noël d'Arva
On ne sait pas exactement quand cette recette remonte à la nuit des temps, probablement au début du XXe siècle. Elle rappelle certainement Noël d'autrefois, quand les gens venaient au moulin en calèche ! (Les anneaux en fer pour attacher les chevaux sont toujours présents aujourd'hui, si vous le souhaitez.)
