Leaf to Root – Express

More Information

Nose to Tail for vegetables

»Leaf to Root« is the »Nose to Tail« for vegetables. Just as with meat, where tenderloin is not necessarily the most delicious cut, we can explore entirely new dimensions of vegetables beyond the traditionally used parts.

Esther Kern, journalist and author, passionately explains how carrot and radish leaves or watermelon rind can make the most wonderful dishes. In her latest book she shares her tried and tested »best of« recipes for everyday cooking. She shows how to easily prepare fennel fronds pesto, cucumber peel lemonade, or kohlrabi leaf chips that will delightfully enrich your menu. On top of that, star chefs and experts from around the world reveal their personal tips and tricks. The required ingredients are readily available, and the recipes are easy to prepare with little effort and no hassle.

A book that allows anyone to immerse themselves in the »leaf to root« experience.
