"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 après 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
