The Hessian women are coming! It is said that the innkeeper is the soul of a tavern. And indeed: These establishments are often a bit cozier, the ambiance a bit more tasteful, and the menus a bit more lovingly composed. Often, the innkeeper herself is at the stove, treating her guests to regional delicacies and placing importance on a well-curated wine list alongside the typical local fare. Refreshingly written, the book guides readers through the female gastronomy culture of Hesse with well-founded tips, many anecdotes, amusing chats, and the innkeepers' favorite recipes to recreate at home. Opening hours and explanatory notes on how to get there, as well as excursion tips, make this charming book a true culinary travel guide.
