Schlutzkrapfen, dumplings, and Kasnocken: The women innkeepers and chefs of South Tyrol remain loyal to local dishes and prioritize the well-being of their guests. Fortunate to live in two culinary worlds—the hearty alpine and the light Mediterranean—they skillfully and creatively juggle regional recipes, modernized classics, and specialties. The result is a charming guide to the female gastronomy of South Tyrol, ranging from wine taverns to simple mountain huts and traditional village inns, from wine shops to gourmet restaurants. It features sensitive portraits of the innkeepers, their favorite recipes to recreate, excursion tips for each location, and is illustrated with beautiful landscape and food photography.
