In the Erzgebirge, traditions are lovingly maintained and preserved across generations. This also applies to the regional cuisine. It features many dishes that can only be found in this form in the Erzgebirge. The Erzgebirge gastronomy offers these traditional dishes in a delightful variety, prepared according to modern recipes. The 40 most beautiful recipes – as they are currently offered on the menus of Erzgebirge restaurants and country inns – have been compiled in this book by the renowned Erzgebirge author Ehrhardt Heinold. These include, among others, Ardäppelsupp, Zudelsupp, saure Klitscher, Raacher Maad, Schöpsenflaasch with Buhne and green Kliess, Breeselgetzen, Plinsen, Semmelmilch, Beerknitsch, and Zwiebelquark. The recipes are complemented by notes on the origins of the dishes and the provenance of the ingredients. Beautiful photos showcase the dishes in detail on regionally typical crockery, arranged with typical Erzgebirge figures on the table.
