It is not a large country, slightly smaller than the state of Montana, but within this area there is almost every kind of terrain one finds in the Temperate Zone. The German cuisine is almost as varied as the terrain. Just as Bavaria passes as the archetype for the entire country, so the food of that section--the dumplings, sausages, beer, pork, and cabbage dishes--represents German cooking to the outside world Delicious though these dishes may be, they hardly begin to give even a clue to the whole spectrum of German cooking, which has more appeal than the average American palate than that of any other foreign country. Think of all the German dishes that have been taken over by Americans--not only hamburgers and frankfurters, with or without sauerkraut, but the jelly doughnut that was first the Berliner Pfannkuchen, Boston Creme Pie, that in Germany is 'Moor's Head'; the range of Christmas cookies; and even that old stand-by of ladies' luncheons, creamed chicken in a patty shell, that appears in every German Konditorei as Koniginpastetchen.' Here they all are, hundreds of them. So Prosit and gut essen: your health and good eating. Related Items:
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - The only German cookbook you needThis book has been around for over 30 years, and to my mind it is still the difinative tome on German cookery. In 1975 my husband decided to open a restaruant featuring German cuisine, and I was to develop and prepare the menu meals. Never mind that I knew nothing whatever about German cooking! This book literally saved my life. The location of the restaurant was in a community with a large German immigrant population...people who knew and appreciated the authentic dishes of their homeland. They became loyal and frequent patrons of our restaurant, ordering sauerbraten, rouladen and wienersnitzel, as well as other dishes I prepared on a regular basis. This cookbook will serve you well in mastering German cooking. Rating: - If you're american and want to try cooking authentic german dishes......then this is the book for you. The recipes are accessible; none of the weird measurements and few if any of the specialized ingredients in packets that used to always be called for in german recipes (dr.oekter). The book seems very complete, with many of the dishes my mother made or I ate in Germany as a kid. I'm not sure I like them that much, it's heavy and bland for my taste - if I were in Germany I'd just eat sausages and bretszeln - which this book doesn't have recipes for, since in Germany you'd buy them at specialty stores (well, it's been more than 10 years, things might have changed) Rating:  - HorrifiedI gave this as a gift. When it was opened, the pages were folded in the corners and the print was smudged. I was embarrassed beyond belief, Rating: - Excellent BookI have bought two of these books. My wife is German so a lot of the recipes she already knows but they make great gifts to those who like great food.I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves to cook. Order with Norpro Stainless Steel Spaetzle Maker and you'll be set. Thanks Amazon for the great service
