Unfortunately, paying a visit to the restaurant you trust is not an option at the moment. How good that you still don’t have to do without your favorite dishes, because some of the best chefs in Berlin have not only put their recipes on their plates, but also on paper and collected them in great cookbooks. Instead of scrolling through the menu and having to decide on a dish, you can now cook all of them easy peasy at home. All the ingredients you need for this are 11 local cookbooks, a generous pinch of capital city flair, two hands selected pictures, and a small portion of the courage to swing the wooden spoon again. Et voilá: The result is a lot of inspiration for the home stove and definitely one or the other taste experience. Have fun and enjoy yourself.

Accompanied by beautiful photos on – of course – 100% recycled paper. And while we’re talking about the environment: the book can be picked up directly in the restaurant, which saves you shipping.
