SynopsisNow in a celebratory fiftieth anniversary edition, The German Cookbook is the definitive authority on German cuisine, from delicious soups and entrees to breads, desserts, and the greatest baking specialties in the world. In addition to easy-to-follow recipes, renowned food writer Mimi Sheraton also includes recommendations for restaurants at home and abroad, as well as tips on ordering traditional fare. Historically, German influence on the American diet, from hamburgers and frankfurters to jelly doughnuts and cakes, has been enormous. But, as the author writes in a brand-new Preface, "Americans have begun to realize that Austrian and German cooks have long been adept at preparing foods that are newly fashionable here, whether for reasons of health, seasonality, economy or just pure pleasure." Many standards foreshadowed the precepts of new cooking, such as pickling, and combining sweet with savory. Alongside old Bavarian favorites, The German Cookbook includes recipes for nose-to-tail pork, wild game, and organ meats; hearty root vegetables and the entire cabbage family; main-course soups and one-pot meals; whole-grain country breads and luscious chocolate confections; and lesser-known dishes worthy of rediscovery, particularly the elegant seafood of Hamburg. Since Mimi Sheraton first began her research more than fifty years ago, she has traveled extensively throughout Germany, returning with one authentic recipe after another to test in her own kitchen. Today, The German Cookbook is a classic in its field, a testament to a lifetime of spectacular meals and gustatory dedication. So Prosit and gut essen cheers and good eating, Here is the completely authentic book of German cuisine, from delicious soups to the greatest baking specialties of the world, complete with indexes and both English and German. In addition to the easy-to-follow recipes, the author discusses some of the great restaurants in Germany and how to order the traditional dishes. She researched these recipes for a year in the United States, eating almost every night in German restaurants, from the most expensive, to small neighborhood eateries, then traveled throughour Germany itself. Every recipe has been tested in her own kitchen--she guarantees that the ingredients are readily available and that the average person needs no special equipment in order to cook it. "Few countries in Europe," the author writes in her introduction, "have landscapes more beautiful or maore varied than those of Germany. 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.

German Food Love
Although we’d love to sail around the world, we’re not able to. Cooking has become our way of experiencing various cultures. Although this book was created by an American Chef, the authenticity of each recipe is there. Each dish has ingredients accessible in most markets. The explanation for variations of each recipe is a wonderful unexpected surprise. It really allows us to make a dish a few times, figuring out which variation we prefer. I’m hoping to prepare several dishes between now and the holidays with hopes to enjoy a few special dishes throughout the holidays.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Truly original German
Since the authors lived among Germans and converted the recipes with American ingredients, nothing comes closer to Truly German recipes.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

One of the best!
I already own this book, I sought it out as a gift for someone. I am German, and I find the recipes to be very authentic. The recipes are listed by the German and English names, and the measurements are all in U.S. measurements. This is really a great cookbook!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Amazing! Kitchen essential
Must have for a well equipped kitchen. Yes, it is a comprehensive encyclopedia of German cuisine, but it also gives background, history, and epicurean techniques to help anyone master the art of fine cooking. I must admit a curiosity for the obscure, so I was fascinated by the offal recipes and various parts that never made it to the tables I visited as a child of mid-America. Feet, knuckles, heads, tongues, and nether parts to make some drool and others cringe. From squeal to tail this book will not fail.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Wonderful recipes.
It's great to see those old time recipes. Some are not so easy to make, and are time consuming, but that's no reason no to include them.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
