Alexandra Daum Bücher

Alexandra Daum delights in harvesting her garden and crafting seasonally-driven recipes. In her first cookbook, she demonstrates how easy it is to prepare healthy(ish) vegetarian meals using local fruits, vegetables, and pantry staples like grains and legumes. The focus is on flavor combinations with minimal reliance on hard-to-find ingredients. Largely plant-based, with occasional honey and eggs, this collection encourages the use of fresh, local produce in daily cooking. With over 110 nourishing recipes, the book brings excitement as seasons shift. In spring and summer, enjoy vibrant dishes like Chickpea Apricot Grain Salad and Strawberry Elderflower Ginger Beer Floats. As autumn and winter arrive, cozy meals such as Apple Hazelnut Waffles and Smoky Mushroom Pumpkin Chili take center stage. The book offers both instruction and inspiration, featuring substitutions, tips, and tricks for intuitive cooking based on available ingredients. Additionally, chapters on useful staples and basic fermentation allow readers to experiment with homemade kombucha or spelt sourdough, and create easy oat milk or tahini dressing. This year-round recipe collection is one you'll reference for years to come.
