Story
About this book
Luxembourg is the only Grand Duchy in the world, a small country where several languages overlap and where older rural traditions sit alongside a modern international economy. This book pairs regional recipes from Ketty Thull with atmospheric photography by Carlo Sauber and text by Carole Theisen, moving through the country's varied landscapes, from historic town alleyways to the vineyards along the Moselle and wilder stretches of forest and rock.
The recipes cover well-known dishes from Luxembourgish home cooking. Gromperekichelcher, crisp pan-fried potato cakes seasoned with onion and parsley, appear alongside choucroute, the slow-cooked cabbage and meat preparation shared with neighboring Alsace and parts of Germany. Schuedi, a traditional braised meat dish, is also featured. These are foods tied to local ingredients and seasons rather than restaurant presentation.
Photographs document each region's character, pairing food with the places where it developed. The book treats Luxembourg's small geographic scale as a source of variety rather than limitation, showing how distinct landscapes and local traditions fit within a country roughly 80 kilometers from north to south.
