Written by Daniel Senn and Barbara Zehnder, this guide offers an informed insight into Switzerland's culinary heritage. Their combined experience across multiple continents brings a unique perspective to Switzerland's contribution to global food culture. While Switzerland is renowned for its world-class cheese and chocolate, the country's culinary landscape is far more diverse. From the mountains to the cities, each canton boasts its own unique cuisine, influenced by neighbouring cultures. This diversity makes it difficult to define a single 'Swiss cuisine'.
