Editorial Reviews

Review

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. -- www.germanmarketplace.com

This book provides a broad assortment of authentic German recipes perfected by the authors Grandmother Ida, and by her mother before her. They include about 270 basic German dishes, which are easy to prepare and delicious. This book also explain how to use a variety of kitchen herbs, all easy to grow in your own garden. And, finally, there is a "Grandma's Tip" added to each recipe to enhance your understanding of German food preparation techniques. -- www.germancorner.com

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best Cookbooks I've Ever Used, April 17, 2000
By 
Kim Baggus (Colo Springs, Colo) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Best of my Grandmother's German Cookery (Paperback)
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!

5.0 out of 5 stars I buy a second one!, December 14, 2000
This review is from: The Best of my Grandmother's German Cookery (Paperback)
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just like Mom's cooking, April 2, 2005
By 
K. Morris (Silicon Valley, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Best of my Grandmother's German Cookery (Paperback)
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.
