Gourmet Nature

Julie Aubé and Marie-José Lefebvre. Softcover.

How about impressing your guests with fish en papillote in birch bark, concocting small cream pots featuring two aphrodisiacs—ginger and dark chocolate—or serving spruce-flavored garlic butter bread chips with an alcoholic sumac lemonade as an aperitif?

Awaken your eyes, your nose, and especially your taste buds by discovering plants with often unsuspected virtues and unexpected flavors. Gathering a florilegium of more than fifty species in their basket, mother and daughter (the first a botanist, the second a nutritionist) offer you the opportunity to tame or rediscover edible plants from all environments, from the forest to the vegetable garden, including fields or gardens.

Legends and anecdotes, botanical information, medicinal and other uses throughout history, original recipes: this is a grimoire worthy of the best nature fairies and kitchen sorceresses!
