Appetitlexikon

Culinary arts are in vogue - we are gourmets and wine connoisseurs, amateur cooks, and product experts. But how do you actually roast a peacock? And what is the deal with cyperus root? The answers can be found in the Appetitlexikon, a kitchen manual from great-grandmother's time. It presents a concise guide to ingredients in alphabetical order and offers preparation recommendations that are still largely valid today. It not only provides a vivid picture of the culinary preferences of the late 19th century but also offers surprising inspirations for today's kitchen. It amusingly recounts regional specialties, taste enhancers, and selected culinary traditions. A delightful reading experience!.
