Kochen mit Löwenzahn

This cookbook is a culinary love letter to dandelion! Jana Vlková, a herbal expert and bestselling author from the Czech Republic, describes in words and images the delightful uses of this plant, often dismissed as a weed. Our ancestors already knew how to harness the power of dandelion as a medicinal herb – whether for rheumatism, diabetes, or detoxification. The author impressively shows that almost all parts – from the root to the flower – are also edible. Twenty creative recipes make you eager to cook, ranging from soups to appetizers, salads, meat dishes, desserts, and even coffee substitutes. Dandelion honey is also included. Aleksandra Chytra has contributed beautiful photos, and the illustrations are by the renowned illustrator Pavla Dvorská. Additionally, the author provides information about the ingredients and the positive effects of the dandelion. The appreciative view of the plant is complemented by poems and a story by the Czech poet Jaroslav Kvapil (Princess Dandelion). A book that is truly a treasure chest!.
