Makers Bible Crafting Cuisine inspires those who love to spend time in the kitchen, cook with hand and heart, try new things and celebrate a consciously prepared meal in good company. This time it is for those who passionately cook and appreciate using the best handmade tools and ingredients. This book inspires on 352 pages with over 130 makers and crafters.
Five chapters guide the reader from the field and garden to the kitchen, where things get cut and heated, with various interesting devices, we open the pantry on all things storable, stock up the bar cabinet and finally serve and celebrate food consciously prepared, whether it’ll be simply toasted sandwiches or a five course dinner.
Foodies, connaisseurs and gourmands — admittingly this book is not for beginners. It is rather a book for hobby chefs and hosts who like to get to the next level. And to the source: All relevant makers and crafters are accompanied by QR codes that lead the reader directly to the source, the makers’ online presence.
Less meat, more veg. Culinary tastes are constantly evolving, and we evolve with them. Vegetarianism and veganism are now at the heart of many restaurant menus and shopping lists. Alcohol-, gluten- and lactose-free products have long since shed the label “alternative”. Seasonality and localism have become increasingly important to eco-conscious chefs and consumers, but creative fusion of cuisines and techniques – across countries and continents – will always provide a healthy cross-fertilisation of ideas that whizz tradition and innovation through the cultural blender.
Feature articles, based on interviews with makers tell us about the quality a true original embraces, whether it’ll be an artisan copyright protected innovation, such as the Feuerring or maintaining a crafting tradition looking back at a 100 years history, such as those of La Marzocco. We spoke to the kitchen planners and builders of Dross & Schaffer about the role the kitchen has in today’s architecture and today’s families.

JOURNAL. What you might want to know…
Doing something by hand can change a lot. Buying something handmade out of conviction can do the same. It changes – or has already changed – the way we think. Especially when it comes to our food. What do we buy? Who made it? What can we perhaps grow ourselves? How do our actions and decisions change, first ourselves, then our purchases, then the landscape?
Every sourdough – that culture of lactic acid bacteria and yeast in a mixture of flour and water – is unique, like a fingerprint, because in every region there are individual bacteria in the air that give each loaf its very own flavour. One person who knows more about the infinite variety of sourdough cultures than most – whose culture is culture, so to speak – is the Belgian Karl De Smedt, keeper and archivist of Europe’s only sourdough library.
