The Little Notebooks 180C: Ginger - Collective

Recipes from Asia, infusions, condiments, spicy dishes, sweet, savory, from here and elsewhere… As usual, the 180°C team takes you back into the kitchen to explore a fascinating ingredient. In this new volume: ginger.

Recipes, of course, but also a dive into the rich and varied world of Zingiber officinale.

Through our "Science" section, you will discover the amazing properties of this root with its unique aromatic power, both pungent and refreshing.

We will travel through the centuries to uncover its ancient origins and its place in the world's culinary cultures. Then, we'll meet two passionate individuals: a producer and a chef, who will share their secrets for elevating this essential ingredient.

We will also explore the medicinal dimension of ginger, from its anti-inflammatory properties to Ayurvedic traditions, not forgetting a trip to the Malagasy islands, where IRD researchers are striving to preserve the genetic diversity of this ancient spice.

And many more surprises to discover in the 192 pages of this new 180°C volume!
