More Information
Best-selling author Meret Bissegger presents more than 50 spring and summer vegetables and offers tips on preparation and storage. 163 mostly vegetarian, often vegan recipes serve as inspiration for beginners and experienced cooks alike. Starting with the earliest Southern spring messengers such as fava beans or field mustard, moving on to the domestic May turnip all the way to summer classics such as aubergines and tomatoes or less well-known vegetable types like friar’s beard, okra, or papacelle. Aromatic herbs, crisp salads, edible blossoms, and wild plants complement several basic recipes. Her reports on cultivation, harvesting, and processing of vegetables offer insights into the world of organic farming in Switzerland and Italy. Essays on environmental and economic topics provide useful suggestions on the appropriate handling of our precious food. Once again, Hans-Peter Siffert has done a fantastic job capturing various types of vegetables and the world of producers in beautiful images.
Meret Bissegger: Passionate chef and plant connoisseur, runs cooking courses, indulges gourmets in her Casa Merogusto in Malvaglia (Ticino), and is an activist of the slow food movement. Numerous appearances on radio, TV, and in printed media.
