Aamann's green kitchen
In Aamann’s Green Kitchen, Adam Aamann shares his passion for vegetables and tasty green food. Based on home-grown produce (also available for purchase) and everyday cooking, he presents a series of simple and aesthetic vegetarian dishes with lots of depth and umami.
The book contains recipes for everything from sandwiches and pies to sliders, ravioli and vegetable dishes that are both filling and surprising. There’s room for color, texture and, not least, taste – without being complicated.
With a focus on seasonal vegetables and an unpretentious approach to cooking, Aamann’s green kitchen is a source of inspiration for anyone who wants to eat more green – whether it’s for everyday, weekends or when entertaining.
