The culinary heritage of the Alps

Do you drink Altrei lupin coffee? Season with Aargau saffron? Do you eat Bitto storico from Lombardy? These are just three of the many culinary products of the Alps. With his camera Sylvan Müller captured the products in their region of origin.

For three years the Lucerne photographer travelled through the European alpine region. The result is to be found in his German-language book Culinary Heritage of the Alps. A selection of the images is currently on display at the Zurich Photogarage.
