Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
The fall of the Berlin Wall. The joining of East and West. "All of this has stirred ethnic fervor in the hearts of anyone with even a slight German background and has instilled those same individuals with the deesire to learn more about their cultural heritage." Leaving aside the possible chill wrought by the thought of Germans stirring their ethnic fervor, this is basically just a cookbook. It offers all the echt German dishes: Hasenpfeffer, Black Forest Cherry Cake, Heaven & Earth (made with potatoes and apples), two types of Sauerbraten, three kinds of potato salad, five herring recipes as well as some dishes more closely associated with the old Austro-Hungarian empire, like goulashes and Wiener schnitzel. At its best, the German cooking here is very gemutlich, like Sweet Dumplings with cherry sauce, Eggs in Spinach or the Stuffed Pork Roast with pitted prunes, brandy, bacon and spices. Less good are dishes like Mushroom & Ham Delights or Ham & Noodle Casserole, which are likely to raise visions of Luther League potlucks. Although Heberle (Polish Cooking) does describe the different areas of Germany in her introduction, she does little to contextualize the recipes themselves.

Authentic recipes from Germany,
By Janet Amirault (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: German Cooking (Paperback)
I absolutely loved this book, as does my mother who is originally from Silesia, Germany (now Poland). The recipes use authentic ingredients, are easy to follow, and are indicative of the foods from all regions of Germany, not just East, West, South, North like so many other cookbooks. My father was stationed throughout Germany, so we are familiar with the different flavors of Germany and appreciated the author's broad reach so that we could sample our many favorites, and we found new ones, to. My mother is very critical (no surprise!) about German cookbooks and asked me to order this one for her birthday since she's enjoyed the recipes we've prepared.

Sloppy,
By A Customer
This review is from: German Cooking (Paperback)
If the spelling errors and switched illustrations are any indication, the recipes are likely not worth it. I was looking at the recipe for Wiener Schnitzel trying to figure out where the rolling depicted in the illustration figured in the recipe. Might be an ok book if you know German cooking and just need measurements etc. Another hilarious example: a recipe titled "Kuchen". Which one do you mean? ;-)

Huge disappointment,
By
This review is from: German Cooking (Paperback)
I was excited to get this book home. After living in America for the last 20 years the time was right to buy a new German cookbook - to brush up on old favorites. But starting on page 16 translation and spelling errors reared their ugly heads. I stopped counting the translation errors somewhere around 30. It conveyed the obvious: sloppiness. If these simple tasks cannot be completed satisfactorily, then how could the recipes be worth trying out. Most likely attention to detail was not to be found there either. This book went into the recycle bin the day it was purchased. It should not be re- sold at a garage sale as it would be dishonest to disappoint someone else unsuspecting.
