Sisters Maria and Eva Konecsny, creators of the beloved Gewurzhaus spice stores, understand the transformative power of spices in everyday cooking. They believe that preparing meals for loved ones—whether it's chocolate semolina porridge, tender fennel roast pork, or a tray of spiced Christmas cookies—can deeply nourish and connect us.

In their book "Kindred," Maria and Eva invite you into their homes to share the spices, seasonal rituals, traditions, and recipes from their German heritage that bring families together around the table.

Experience cherished rituals such as Easter egg dyeing, Mother's Day mushroom foraging, and the Bunter Teller—a plate of colorful cookies shared at Christmas. "Kindred" will inspire you to gather with loved ones, explore your own culinary heritage, and enrich your cooking and baking with enduring rhythms for the future.
