Fascination Spices: Taste, History, and Botany (Course)

Description

Immerse yourself in the fascinating diversity of aromatic plants and experience how spices enhance dishes and open up surprising flavor worlds. In this course, we explore the art of seasoning, learn how to properly use individual spices, and create fine spice blends together. We will also prepare small, aromatic dishes, which we will taste in a final enjoyable degustation. Besides practical work, we also focus on the history and botany of selected spice plants. A walk through the Botanical Garden will lead us directly to the living plants – and let us experience their origin, diversity, and special features with all our senses.
