The leaves are changing color, the last sunny days are awaiting us: Autumn is the time to introspect ourselves, to make ourselves comfortable at home - and maybe to try out one or the other recipe.

While it was often just too hot to stand by the stove for a long time in summer, things are different now: It gets dark and cold faster outside, so some people long for warm and hearty food.

But not everyone is a kitchen professional – how does a really good goulash work?

And how do you manage if the power should fail in these turbulent times?

That's why the editors have put together a list of the top 3 cookbooks for autumn that should not be missing in your kitchen.

What to do when there is no power for cooking after a disaster, fresh food is not available, has been used up or has spoiled?

Disaster workers know: Preparation is the best precaution!

That is why the Federal Office for Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance and important aid organizations have started a large recipe competition.

The goal was to collect creative dishes that are suitable for use in crises: preparation should also be possible in the event of a prolonged power outage, if the water supply fails at the same time and fresh food is no longer available.

More than 500 suggestions are said to have been submitted and finally the best 50 recipes were selected.

They made it into the book along with lots of helpful tips and information from experts on how to eat well even without electricity in times of crisis.

The book project "Cooking without electricity" also deals with important topics such as the right storage and water supply.
