German Cookery

I enjoy this book. It does have some mistakes. The recipes are simple and short. I always read through the recipes before I start cooking. I use my common sense as well to tell me if it is going right. After all cooking is a series of adjustments in my view, turn heat up or down, add more of this, not to much of that. Thats what cooking is to me.I enjoy all the simple lunch recipes.If you know how to cook this book is good. Maybe not for the beginner.

I've cooked several recipes from the German Cookery cookbook. Yes, some of the writing is not as clear as it should be, but an experienced cook should be able to use the recipes without too many problems. I've made the Tomato Sauce (Tomatensauce #284) and was wondering about the water to thin the sauce. I finally figured it out but the recipe was not clear. The Onion Butter (Zweibelbutter #296) is excellent over mashed potatoes. The Stuffed Peppers (Gefulter Paprika) are excellent and one of the tastiest recipes for Stuffed Peppers I've ever made. And the Young Vegetables (Junges Gemuse #215) are excellent. No complaints and the recipes are tasty.
