Once again I bought something for our cooking book library: Bauernmarkt & Biokiste published by GU. I bought this book for ideas. This is a good one because every recipe has got a picture to it. I almost only buy cooking book with lots of pictures because they are the biggest inspiration. Some times one doesn't even need the actual recipe but rather just nice photo to build on.  This book also has got some nice recipes with wild plants but nothing too extreme or weirdo :)
