History and folklore make this book mildly entertaining.
There is no dish named "Pickelsteiner" (p.31), the correct name is "Pichelsteiner". There is no Red Wine Cake "Duerkenheimer" Style (p.171), it is "Duerkheimer" style.
The above are two examples of sloppy editing, and some of the recipes do contain serious errors; here is one example:
The Recipe for Green Sauce on page 61 lists Oregano as one of the ingredients. Although there are almost as many authentic recipes for "Frankfurter gruene Sosse" as there are citizens of Frankfurt, this local specialty never ever contains Oregano.
While no recipe ist carved in stone, an ethnic cookbook does, in my opinion, require a greater degree of accuracy.
