        Krautwelten

        by Angelika Overath

        Kraut und Kohl, früher als Notgemüse der Armen verschrien, haben die Keller und Kohlmieten hinter sich gelassen und sind bis in die Hipster-Lofts von London und die Feinschmeckerlokale Berlins aufgestiegen: Federkraut und Pak Choi, Weißkraut, Wirsing und Brokkoli werden heute als »Superfood« gefeiert.Vom Millionen Jahre alten Kerguelenkohl, dem eleganten Filderkraut bis zu den Flower Sprouts der jüngsten Züchtungen führt Angelika Overath durch eine kleine Kulturgeschichte dieser Gemüse-Wohltäter. Sie vergegenwärtigt die legendäre Heilwirkung der Pflanze, die seit der Antike überliefert wird, und erinnert an James Cooks Südsee-Expeditionen, deren Erfolg sich dem Sauerkraut verdankte. Sie verrät erprobte Rezepte gegen Arthrose und zur Gewichtsreduktion, erzählt von persönlichen Krauterlebnissen und widmet sich in liebevollen Porträts der Schönheit und dem besonderen Wesen von Kohlpflanzen.

        Brick Lane Cookbook

        by Dina Begum

        Brick Lane is famous for many things: for being home to the biggest Bangladeshi community in the UK, for its curry houses and Bengali sweet shops, for its graffiti, its long-running market and its beigel shops. Now, its also increasingly well known for its thriving art and fashion scene and the incredible street food available there. Dina Begum has been a regular visitor since she was a little girl eating lamb kofta rolls with her dad at the Sweet & Spicy cafe. In her first book, she celebrates Brick Lane's diverse food cultures: from the homestyle Bangladeshi curries she grew up eating to her own luscious and indulgent cakes, from Chinese-style burgers to classic Buffalo wings, from smoothie bowls to raw coffee brownies. With contributions from street food traders and restaurants including Gram Bangla, Beigel Bake, Blanchette, Chez Elles, St Sugar of London, Cafe 1001 and Moo Cantina, the Brick Lane Cookbook is a culinary map of the East End's tastiest street and a snapshot of London at its authentic, multi-cultural best.
