So much more than mere ?Schmankerlküche? (Bavarian treats), the Alps are a little piece of paradise for foodies. Wide variations in climate and huge elevation changes have forced the locals to adapt and be inventive. Over the centuries, each region has developed its own unique flavors and special products. Recently, the Alpine gastro scene has led the way back to rediscovering regional tastes, reviving everything that got lost in a sea of lemon- grass and avocado foam, and returning to the real delicacies from local farms and fields?while completely reinterpreting tried-and-true dishes. This book invites you on a stroll through the skillets and soup kettles of contemporary Alpine cooking: visit the most beautiful mountain cottages, the homiest kitchens, and the most remote Alpine meadows?the whole delicious spectrum of culinary delicacies from all over the Alps! We also include stories about special local ingredients and traditional recipes with a new contemporary twist. Because if there is one thing you can count on in the Alps, it is that every valley is unique! ALPS is a magazine about the Alpine lifestyle?written by Alps lovers for Alps lovers. The four main topics are Alpine life, Alpine trails, Alpine views and, of course, Alpine pleasures, focusing primarily on innovative Alpine cooking. 125 colour photos
