Here is a collection of the recipes we shared and learnt during our meeting in Germany. Ingredients were collected wildly or harvested freshly from the organic garden of the ecovillage Sieben Linden or bought from local organic farmers. We hope to give you inspiration on what to put on your table! Enjoy
