CHEF JOSEPH STYKE Celebrate spring with torte and ale very once in awhile, I'll sort and file the pieces of paper I've accu­ E mulated until everything's in its right place. While putting things away, I noticed that I have not yet shared a dessert recipe with you. So here we go, and yes there are ales to go with dessert. We're going back to Belgium, and if you're a regu­ lar reader, you know I have a thing for Belgian beer. The recipe is a flour- less white chocolate torte, and the ale, Affligem dubbel Abbey Ale. Affligem is the oldest brewery in Flanders. It was founded in 1074 by Benedictine monks. Abbey records show that beer was brewed for pil­ grims on their way to the crusades. There is convincing evidence that Affligem introduced hops to Belgian «$£***"-**• ' brewing. vJF***
