5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding for use by Americans., October 22, 1999
By A Customer
This German cookbook is specially designed for use by Americans: measures, ingredients, temperatures, cuts of meat, etc. However, all of the recipes are very authenic and wonderfully traditional. One does not have to fear conjuring up some strange variation of a traditional German recipe; something that is bad enough to make a German epicurian flee from the table! Included with the recipes one will find ample text that describes the qualities and goals of the German chef, plus valuable techniques that can make all the difference between average and excellent results. There are two complete recipe indexes: English and German.

For the record, I lived in Germany for a number of years, and worked with Germans in the states for many more. This is the only German cuisine cookbook that I have ever found, which is truly great in all respects.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wunderbar!, July 25, 2000
By Neil Stewart (Cincinnati, OH USA) - See all my reviews
This cookbook is one of the few that actually makes German cooking intelligible for an American. The recipes are fully "translated" by which I mean the measurements and such are ones that we use in the USA. Other German cookbooks do not have this. The author does a wonderful job in explaining how the food is served and cooked. This is the best German cookbook I have ever seen.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best German cookbooks (in English)!, March 13, 1998
By taylorg@theriver.com (Gail Taylor, Hereford, Arizona) - See all my reviews
Recipes are easy to follow and always turn out. Ingredients are easy to find. Out of 15 or more German cooks that I own, I use this one the most. I find that it is on a level with the old TIME-LIFE Foods of the World Series with many more recipes.
