This review is from: The Marling Menu-Master for Germany (Paperback)

The Marling Menu-Master is tightly focused on translating a German restaurant menu. It is about the size of a passport and its cover is made from soft, flexible vinyl, so you can tuck it in a pocket and forget about it until you need it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A practical, helpful guide to deciphering German menus., April 13, 1999

This review is from: The Marling Menu-Master for Germany (Paperback)

I have used this book on several trips to Germany. It is small enough to carry in a pocket or purse, easy to use, and has most of the "mits". A practical tool designed to assist you in understanding German menus. Don't leave the U.S. without it!

This review is from: The Marling Menu-Master for Germany (Paperback)

I used the Menu Master (I call it a Menu Finder) for eight months in Germany. I also briefly used the French edition in France, and the Italian edition in Italy. My general comments are the same for all three. I look forward to using the Spanish edition someday.

A small, hip pocket, book bound in vinyl it can see rough service virtually anywhere. It is easy to use from Suppe zu den Nüsse (soup to nuts). And is actually organized from the appetizer to dessert. It is thorough in identifying the different preparations and nuances in service. Once you read the instructions and do the menu exercise included at the back, you will have little or no trouble ordering your favorites. Believe me, it is good to know the difference between Schinken (Ham) and Schnecken (Snails)...
