Magdalena’s recipes
If you are a friend of Magdalena’s, chances are you have been invited to dine at her table and taste her incredible cooking. For all others, do not despair: here are a few hearty meals straight from her Mediterranean-inspired vegetable garden.
In the heart of Sweden's enchanting Rosersberg Palace gardens, artist and forager Magdalena Cerha, embarked on a culinary journey like no other in the 1980s. Armed with an unwavering passion for nature's bounties and a keen artistic eye, Magdalena Cerha turned the lush palace grounds into her private haven for foraging. The treasure she sought, however, was not gold or gems but something far more elusive – snails. This is the remarkable story that unfolds in Escargot: From Palace Garden to Family Table, a delightful autobiographical recipe book brought to life by Magdalena's daughter, Susanne Cerha.
In this book, Susanne Cerha invites readers to step into the world of her remarkable mother, revealing the secrets behind how to forage, cleanse, and prepare escargot, the French delicacy. Escargot is not just a cookbook; it's a window into a world where art, nature, and gastronomy converge, where snails are transformed from garden pests to gourmet delights.
With heartfelt anecdotes, a mouthwatering recipe, and the vivid brushstrokes of a mother-daughter bond, Escargot is a heartwarming homage to the artistic spirit that thrives in the most unexpected places – even among the snails of a Swedish palace garden.
