Absinthe FR

Absinthe de Helvetiq takes you to the Val-de-Travers, in the canton of Neuchâtel, the birthplace of the Green Fairy. There, Tania Brasseur traces the history of the absinthe plant, the aperitif that made it famous, and the people who keep this tradition alive to this day. Combining botany, history, politics, production, recipes, and encounters with passionate producers, this book paints a rich and vivid portrait of a mysterious Swiss heritage. Tamara Berger’s evocative photographs accompany this journey through historical anecdotes, culinary discoveries, and local craftsmanship. A book in French for those curious about Swiss culture, gastronomy, and traditions.
