There are books that blow through the heart like a warm summer wind, smelling of thyme, rosemary and wild mint. “Where the Wild Herbs Bloom”, published in 2022, is just such a book. It tells of a journey that does not only exist on maps, but above all happens inside. Sandy Neumann, author, cook, seeker, takes us to the wild Corbières – where life is simpler, but no less rich.
In pictures and words that taste, smell and feel, she describes arriving in a landscape that does not impose itself immediately, but is rooted in heart and soul with quiet power. She writes of barren hills that turn golden in the evening sun, of the first bread from her own wood-fired oven, of paths that don’t always lead straight ahead, but that’s exactly why they reach their destination.
This book is an invitation – to read, to dream, to trace. And maybe also to set off. To Sandy & Steffen, to the Refugi Lo Cortals, to a place that tastes like home.
