Alpine Cooking

"This is one of my favorite cookbooks, ever."--David Lebovitz

"Cookbook meets outdoor-adventure memoir in Meredith Erickson's Alpine Cooking, which will satisfy your yen for Europe's rustic mountaintop fare with dishes like schlutzkrapfen (stuffed half-moon pasta) and Salzburger nockerl (Austrian souffle)."--enRoute

"Then, there are books that transport me to where I've never been. Meredith Erickson's Alpine Cooking: Recipes and Stories from Europe's Grand Mountaintops sends a welcome shiver down the spine. The photographs, with gleaming, clear light and the brightest blue skies against snowy peaks, conjure the imagined nostalgia of a perfect apres ski moment. Her treatise on schnitzel is contagiously passionate; her mention of the hidden basement workshops of grand hotels captures the romance of those industrious spaces; each section is marked by a love letter to the geography of a region. Erickson situates you in the landscape and saves a space for you at the table, with raclette and cornichon waiting."--The Globe and Mail


"A wide variety of readers, and their friends, will enjoy the kaleidoscope of recipes, photos, history, and anecdotes."--Library Journal

"This is big, bold, gloriously old-fashioned and the perfect title to snuggle up with to dream about the skiing holiday you can't afford."--Diana Henry, The Telegraph

"Meredith Erickson delivers both the coziest as well as the most elegant cookbook of the fall. . . . Just looking through this beauty will transport you from your messy apartment to apres ski somewhere in the Alps."--Inside Hook
