A is for Asparagus German Cookbook for Spargelsaison
by: Gerhild Fulson / Oma Gerhild shares German recipes rooted in family tradition.
A is for Asparagus is my little love letter to Spargelsaison, the famous German asparagus season when everything suddenly becomes Spargel. Not kidding. Restaurants, farm stands, market kiosks, even the neighbor at the checkout line. Everybody’s talking asparagus.
In this cookbook, I’ll walk you through what makes German asparagus so special, especially the prized white variety, and I’ll show you how to make it easy at home. Some recipes are classic German, some lean a bit modern, but they’re all Oma-approved and very WUNDERBAR.
Inside you’ll find:
-
- Fresh salads for Spargelsaison, including Frühlings-Spargelsalat and Spargel-Erdbeer-Salat
-
Classics like Cremige Spargelsuppe and Spargel mit Hollandaise
-
Quick, tasty sides and mains like roasted asparagus, mushrooms, bacon-wrapped, and Flammkuchen
