Did you know that absinthe is a plant before it is a drink? That it has been wrongly accused of driving people mad, but that its therapeutic properties are countless? That the aperitif tradition owes much to the alcohol that bears its name? And that François Mitterrand, on a visit to Neuchâtel, was offered a fairy soufflé at the height of Prohibition?

Doctor of Letters, member of the Swiss Culinary Heritage Committee and project manager at Slow Food, Tania Brasseur investigated the Jura region, the birthplace of absinthe, in the company of photographer Tamara Berger. She reveals the secrets of the plant, the aperitif that made it famous and the people who continue to keep it alive today. A fabulous journey that combines historical anecdotes, botanical discoveries, contemporary recipes and wonderful human encounters!

- A journey to discover the Val-de-Travers and the Green Fairy
- Rich encounters with absinthe growers and producers
- Botany, history, politics, production: a complete book!
- Recipe ideas

Helvetiq

Helvetiq was created in 2008 with a game about Switzerland. Hadi Barkat, the founder of Helvetiq, was preparing for his naturalization test and asked his Swiss friends many questions about Switzerland. But they knew less than they thought and so the idea was born for the first Helvetiq game, which is now a classic. Now you can find the exciting, instructive, funny and entertaining games and books at Stadtlandkind.
