1.0 out of 5 stars
Several of the recipes are suspect,
By A Customer
This review is from: German Cookery: The Crown Classic Cookbook Series (Hardcover)
I've tried several recipes and three of them had the wrong ingredients or the wrong quantity. I don't know about all the recipes because I will no longer use this book. The recipes for Marzipan - needs egg whites (492), Bavarian Bread Dumplings - needs flour (191), and spazle-needs more liquid or less flour (196) are all wrong. Becareful!

Ich verstehe nicht.,
This review is from: German Cookery: The Crown Classic Cookbook Series (Hardcover)
This cookbook is not fully translated. There are ingredients and measurements that are nearly impossible for Americans to find or understand. Some recipes I tried did not even turn out right or if they did, it was a shame because they were terrible. This cookbook is good for reference and maybe comparisons with other recipes, but that is all.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Not as bad as others make it out to be.,
By A Customer
This review is from: German Cookery: The Crown Classic Cookbook Series (Hardcover)
I am less suspect of this book now that I live in Germany. The recipes are very good and quite authentic; however you MUST read them all the way through BEFORE beginning the cooking process! The translation is faulty in regards to the wording and order in which the cooking of items should be completed.Substitutions are easily found in America for listed items, but you must have a previous knowledge of what the item actually IS in Germany, and a fairly good common sense knowledge of the kitchen to follow the "out of order" instructions. If you want truly authentic recipies though, it is a good book.
