My Aromatic Kitchen

With nine cook and lifestyle books to her name, Kille Enna has become an icon of simple organic elegance. In this cookbook she distills the lessons she's learned from a life devoted to spices and herbs into timeless recipes that anyone can make. Enna's message is straightforward: the tastiest most flavor-packed meals include fresh, high-quality ingredients, prepared simply by adding aromatic blends. Here she offers fifty recipes, each featuring a key ingredient combined with an aromatic blend of spices, herbs, fruits, and vegetables. Inspired by the harvest from her own organic garden in southern Sweden, this book's recipes range from the crisp, cool offerings of winter to the sultry, sensuous heat of summer. Using ingredients that are in season and widely available, Enna shows how combinations of spices and herbs can transform everyday foods into refined meals. In between recipes, Enna offers in-depth tips on everything from cast iron skillets to edible flowers. Bathed in the colorful radiance of Enna's own photography and infused with her lifelong passion for nature and simple living, this is a cookbook that will appeal to the senses and that will remain an essential reference in kitchens everywhere.

Review: "Kille Enna is a phenomenon." -VOGUE Gourmet

"Another cookbook that is much more than the sum of its parts: Enna's approach in this colorfully minimalist guide starts with aromatic blends--damask rose and heather flowers, green cardamom and lavender--and pairs them with key ingredients to transmit the "taste of a scent" into her recipes. It's a cookbook as a perfumer would write it." -VOGUE
