Wintergreen & Star Anise

In the middle of the vast Luxembourg countryside, surrounded by magnificent hazelnut bushes, lies the "Hazelnut House". For bestselling author Theresa Baumgärtner, this special and natural place is a constant source of inspiration. With her head full of ideas, she opens the festive season already in early autumn. "Carrying gold dust from nature into the house," she likes to call the things she discovers right outside the door. Enchanting wreaths are created from willow, decorated with different greenery and dried flowers. There is a scent of resin and moss, as well as baked apples and cinnamon hearts, which Theresa serves with her five o'clock tea. In her jewelry workshop, she sews gorgeous mushrooms out of velvet and stamps shimmering gold talers for a garland. Piece by piece, this unique pre-Christmas atmosphere is created, in which she lets us participate with this book. Whether it's chestnut soup or salmon from the oven, Theresa reveals her heavenly recipes for the most atmospheric time of the year. Welcome to the "Hazelnut House"!
