Street Food Kosovo
Harvesting and drying flowers for tea.
Another book in the Street Food series, full of enticing recipes and authentic photos. After my award-winning cookbooks Street Food India and Vietnam, I published Street Food Kosovo.
Sharing food is the best way to bring people together. So: invite your loved ones and treat them to a Kosovar meal! The recipes were tasted and jotted down in the homes of regular people, mostly in rural areas, although we were also allowed to take a look in the kitchens of some of the small, traditional restaurants in the capital Pristina. The result is a surprising collection of authentic Kosovar dishes. Most are vegetarian, and all meat dishes have a vegetarian alternative.
The proceeds of this book were shared with children in Kosovo who urgently need treatment for cancer: a unique collaboration between Street Food and the non-profit organization Care for Kosovo Kids.

What at first appeared a single, uniform expanse reveals itself, upon closer inspection, as a vibrant mosaic of species. Every day, something new emerges. I do not yet know them all by name, but my joy grows with the rising numbers of butterflies, beetles, and bees that slowly but surely make themselves known.
