Regional cuisine is enjoying great popularity once again. This is especially true for the Baden cooking culture, which has absorbed many influences from neighboring countries like France and Switzerland in the past, and is therefore known for combining the rustic with the refined and sometimes even the exotic. This cookbook presents the most popular Baden dishes and showcases the culinary highlights of the region along the Upper and High Rhine and the Black Forest. In addition to soups, salads, and appetizers, poultry, meat, and fish dishes, there are also vegetarian specialties as well as popular sweets and desserts. The recipes have been collected and written down by the Freiburg author Hans-Albert Stechl, who has been inspiring readers to cook for themselves for many years with his cooking column "Stechl's Standbericht" in the "Badische Zeitung.".
