CoCon Verlag has now dedicated a beautiful book to just such small delicacies: In "Hessen Tapas", Ingrid Schick celebrates her love for her home state of Hesse and for her favorite vacation spot, Andalusia, and the appetizer culture that connects these two regions. Together with regional star chefs and other culinary enthusiasts from Hessen, she presents fifty little delicacies that not only delight the palate but also reveal all sorts of interesting facts about the region.

Hessian Tapas with fish, meat, game and poultry, cheese, in completely vegetarian variant or with high percentage are presented framed by informative accompanying texts. There the interested reader then finds such different delicacies as venison praline with cranberries, pumpkin-onion empanada, grape truffles from the Bensheim Fürstenlager, Welsch tapa with lardo or Flörsbacher fish terrine.
The recipes are presented clearly and comprehensibly and are always supplemented by all kinds of helpful tips.
