A wonderfully colorful cookbook and storybook by Sabine Kranz, who provides text and illustrations from a single source. The title says it all: this cookbook is not just for die-hard vegetable lovers. Sabine Kranz asked 63 friends about their favorite vegetable dishes - the result is a collection of recipes that is as varied as it is personal, reflecting the most diverse tastes and lifestyles.

The focus is on the preparation and enjoyment of fruit and vegetables - as healthy self-care, as a way of life, as a source of sensual pleasure. Because cooking creates a connection to traditions, cultures and other people. It creates community. Whether for an evening for two or a large group of friends, for parties or picnics, for hot summer or cool winter days, for those in a hurry or perfectionists, professionals or novice cooks, to impress guests or simply to make the children happy: There's something for almost every occasion and cooking personality.

The everyday recipes, presented in a modern, colorful illustration style, make GEMÜSEFREUNDE not only an inspiring companion in the kitchen, but also a small work of art for anyone who appreciates good food and beautiful design in equal measure.
