What might we find on the table if we were invited to dinner by an elf family one day?
Elves love everything the forests have to offer: an endless treasure trove of gastronomic delights with surprising flavors and exceptional nutritional properties. Mushrooms, berries, chestnuts, and truffles, wild herbs such as nettle, dandelion, and plantain. Then there are tree flowers and buds, beechnuts, spruce shoots, walnuts, hazelnuts, the fruits of blackthorn and rowan, rose hips, and burdock roots. Even flours made from mosses, lichens, and roasted bark find their place in the kitchen to enrich the doughs of their flatbreads with aromas.
Elves love to enjoy these small breads with generous spoonfuls of spruce syrup or linden honeydew... it's impossible to resist their wild sweetness!
