        40 Easy Recipes to Make Cheese at Home

        by Marlene Kelnreiter

        Just give up the city life and the office job and spend some time in the alps instead? Does it work, does it make everything better? Is time spend in a remote mountain hut a kind of therapy? Does it change you, or something, and if so, how? Marlene Kelnreiter answers these questions in the form of her field reports – the beautiful photographs that were taken to accompany Kelnreiter's alpine summers allow readers to immerse themselves deeply in the melancholy of her diary-like stories. And even if you don't get alp grass under your feet yourself straight away, this book leaves you with the feeling of a short, mental exit from everyday life. And it certainly makes you want to try it all out for yourself. "Every summer, Marlene Kelnreiter moves from the city to the mountains to turn dreams into reality and, above all, milk into cheese. Instructed in the craft of cheese making by expert dairymen, Marlene now indulges in the joy of coagulation of the white gold even in winter and away from the alpine cheese dairies. Wild fermentation can also be used to produce natural, delicious and healthy dairy products at home. In this book, the author shares the knowledge she has acquired so far and gently wields the whisk with you to turn fresh milk into delicious cream cheese, and more!"

        Black and White - in the shadow of lights

        Im Schatten des Lichts

        by Jando / Christopher Groß

        Der Nebel umhüllte das kleine Fischerboot, breitete sich aus, kroch langsam aber sicher an das Ufer und verschluckte alles um sich herum. Kurt nahm einen kräftigen Schluck aus der Flasche des selbstgebrannten Schnaps und zündete mit zitteriger Hand eine Zigarette an. Hustend spuckte er den Rauch wieder aus, der sich mit dem Nebel vermischte. Er hatte diesen schrecklichen Husten schon sehr lange und dann, wenn er besonders stark hustete, kam auch ein wenig Blut zum Vorschein. Immer dann machte Kurt sich kurz Gedanken, verwarf sie aber auch schnell. Er hatte genug andere wichtige Dinge zu erledigen. Morgens früh holte er die Netze ein und brachte den Fang in den Fischereihafen, damit der frische Fisch verkauft werden konnte. Danach musste er sich von der Arbeit wieder mit Schnaps und Bier erholen, bevor es dann am Abend noch einmal rausging, um die Netze erneut zu leeren. 1979 schien ein verflixtes Jahr zu werden. Seit einigen Wochen war der sonst so ertragreiche Fischfang erheblich zurückgegangen. Kurt konnte sich das nicht erklären, war doch nichts Besonderes im Meer passiert.

        Wunderbare Reisen und Abenteuer der kleinen Dott, Band I

        by Tamara Ramsay, Alfred Seidel

        Die Kleine Dott is an adventure and coming-of-age novel for young people, especially girls, with elements of saga and fantasy. Dott, the heroine, is a twelve-year old girl who lives in a village near Berlin between the two World Wars. When Dott sneaks out to see the bonfire of the midsummer night, the Rennefarre, a magical flower falls into her shoe. That makes her invisible. She can also speak with animals and magical creatures and look back into the past. Flying across the country on the backs of crows and herons, Dott experiences adventures and lives through moments in history others can only read about. But she always has one goal in mind: returning home to her family. The book is the new edition of Tamara Ramsay's popular book for children and young adults in the original three volumes with the original, long lost drawings and covers by Alfred Seidel.  The three volumes are slightly shortened without anything of their content been lost. The language has been gently modernized. The book promotes friendship among different cultures and peoples, the empowerment of girls, and the protection of animals. Die kleine Dott, ein zwölfjähriges Mädchen, wohnt in der Prignitz bei Berlin um die Jahrhundertwende. Ihr Leben nimmt eine dramatische Wende, als sie sich zum Mittsommernachtsfeuer aus dem Haus schleicht. Dabei fällt die Rennefarre, eine magischen Pflanze, in ihre Schuhe. Nun kann sie sehen, was den Menschen sonst unsichtbar bleibt — Geister, Märchenfiguren, historische Gestalten. Sie kann Tiere verstehen und mit ihnen sprechen und sie kann tief in die Geschichte blicken. Für die Menschen aber ist Dott nun selber eine unsichtbare Geistergestalt. Um den Zauber loszuwerden, muss sie ihr zuhause verlassen, und nachdem sie die Fähigkeit hat, sich klein zu machen, reist sie mit Gurian, dem Reiher und Cornix, der Krähe durch das ganze Land. Dies ist die neue Ausgabe des beliebten Kinder-und Jugendbuchs von Tamara Ramsay in den originalen drei Bänden mit den originalen Zeichnungen und Titelbildern von Alfred Seidel, die viele Jahrzehnte nicht oder nur stark gekürzt erhältlich war. Die drei Bände sind leicht gekürzt, ohne etwas vom Inhalt zu verlieren, die Sprache ist behutsam modernisiert. Die Kleine Dott ist ein Abenteuer- und Entwicklungsroman mit Sagen- und Fantasie-Elementen, in dem Völkerverständigung, Heimatkunde und Tierschutz vereint sind.
