Great recipes, but missing some essentials, August 16, 2001
Reviewer: A reader
The recipes in this book are great, this is true, but there are some essential recipes missing, mainly in one category. The wonderful tomato salads and cucumber salads aren't in this book, and anyone who has had these knows what I mean. There are also a couple of bread spreads very typical to Germany that aren't listed, but otherwise, this book is great. It looks like they even have the best recipe for Bienenstich (Bee sting cake) that I've ever seen here in the states and one that should actually work for a change. I'm keeping this book for sure.

Hi, my name is Peggy and I'm from Germany and spent right now one year in my host family. I was looking for a christmas present and decided to give a german cookbook. But it was not as easy as I thought until I found this one. I ordered it (without reading the recipes- difficult) and after I got it I took a look in there and it really brought a smile in my face to see all the recipes I like and we used to cook in Germany. And that's why I decided to buy a second one and cook more often for the people I like. If you are looking for a cookbook with authentic recipes- here it is! Try it- you'll never regret it.

Just like Mom's cooking, April 2, 2005

My mother died a few years back and while dealing with the flood of memories I realized that with the exception of her chili (it was truly awful), she was a darn good cook. Since she was a native of Germany, she had several dishes that I now found myself missing. I also realized that I was too stupid when I was growing up to ask her how to cook. As a result, I could seldom find German restaurant food as tasty as hers.
Well, I searched around a bit online and in the library and the "authentic" German cookbooks I found didn't represent the kind of cooking my Mom had done, until I found this book. As soon as I saw the sample recipe for Jaeger Schnitzel, and prepaped it, I knew I was in business.
This book has some tasty recipes in it. I recommend it if you are missing your German mother's cooking too.

One of the Best Cookbooks I've Ever Used, April 17, 2000
I love German food, and after having lived in Germany for several years and moved back to the states
I really missed authentic German cooking. Then I found this book, and I now use it at least twice a week if not more often.
It is easy to follow and the added hints makes the recipies unique. I have recommended this book to many of my friends, and co-workers.
And I now recommend it to you. Our favorite is the German Hamburger and potatoe pancakes. And I can honestly say it tastes just like a German grandmothers would.
Use it and enjoy!

One of the best German cookbooks written in English with 270 recipes. The descriptions in this cookbook are very easy to understand and the recipes do not require an expert cook! The 14 chapter cover: Using the right spices, spreads for sandwiches, salads, salads with cooked vegetable, soups, sauces, potatoes, breakfast foods, vegetables, meat dishes, chicken and fish, fruit salads, purees and other desserts, cakes, pastries and tortes, cookies. The index is in English AND in German and that makes this cookbook very unique and a must have for every household!
The bi-lingual index is a great resource to find your long lost recipes.
