German Cooking Today

A go to book for German cooking. This gives you most of the clasic German recipes and lays them out for you in a good format. I am very happy with it and it is the book I go to most for my German cooking. My mom is from Germany and we both refer to our editions of this when we can't remember something. If you are new to German cooking, I would suggest this since it covers almost all of the basics. German cooking is a bit regionalized so these are more a standard type of recipe for a basic. There are some other good German cookbooks out there that get you to the regional flavors so if you want that then I would look at something else. This book has traditional classic German food and is an excellent collection to start with.

Very happy with my purchase arrived quick without issue, in proper packing for safe shipping 5 star for this. Now the reason for a 4 star rating. Somehow the over all content is really hard for me to rate as I am not finding that oh I need to make this now. Excellent heritage recipes with easy to obtain ingredients and great step by step instructions. Great footnotes and per serving information such as trans fat, sugar etc amount.

These recipes are very easy and very good! I have many recipes in my box from my German grandmother who came over to the states when she was 20 and I was shocked when I open this book and found almost all of them in there in one form or another. Some of the same some slightly modified. I was so happy I ordered 2 more for my girls, that way I don't have to copy all of my recipes except the ones that are not in the book. What a deal! You won't be sorry if you buy this.

I would rate it as "good," not great. Marianna Heberle's "German Cooking" is better. The food I grew up in a German household was normal to me but now it's ethnic. Most but not all is in this book. German cooking is very regional and this book tries to hit all the marks; does some well, misses some. Buy it for your collection to reference, but as with any cookbook, you need more than one.

I live in Canada and am German. So often I am asked for my recipes. The translate of recipes is a time consuming affair. Since I've discovered that you can buy Dr. Oekter recipe books in the English language, I am very happy .. It is always a gift for good friends Schoen: Dr. Oetker is a guarantee of good, traditional and proven recipes.

Loved the book, happy I found it - and very professional packaging by Geritech.

Great book, loved it.

Bring back memories of Germany and their great food.

This is a very nice book indeed. Initially I bought a copy of this book and 'German Baking Today' for someone else for Christmas but when I had a look at it, I ordered an extra copy for myself. The recipes in the book are graded according to the level of skill the cook needs to have and there are all kinds of things in there that I recall from eating out in German restaurants when on holiday.

fantastic book, i love it.
