The Best of my Grandmother's German Cookery

Summary: Great recipes, but missing some essentials
Review: Hi, my name is Peggy and I'm from Germany and spent right now one year in my host family. I was looking for a christmas present and decided to give a german cookbook. But it was not as easy as I thought until I found this one. I ordered it (without reading the recipes- difficult) and after I got it I took a look in there and it really brought a smile in my face to see all the recipes I like and we used to cook in Germany. And that's why I decided to buy a second one and cook more often for the people I like. If you are looking for a cookbook with authentic recipes- here it is! Try it- you'll never regret it.

Summary: One of the Best Cookbooks I've Ever Used
Review: I love German food, and after having lived in Germany for several years and moved back to the states I really missed authentic German cooking. Then I found this book, and I now use it at least twice a week if not more often. It is easy to follow and the added hints makes the recipies unique. I have recommended this book to many of my friends, and co-workers. And I now recommend it to you. Our favorite is the German Hamburger and potatoe pancakes. And I can honestly say it tastes just like a German grandmothers would. Use it and enjoy!

Summary: Great recipes, but missing some essentials
Review: The recipes in this book are great, this is true, but there are some essential recipes missing, mainly in one category. The wonderful tomato salads and cucumber salads aren't in this book, and anyone who has had these knows what I mean. There are also a couple of bread spreads very typical to Germany that aren't listed, but otherwise, this book is great. It looks like they even have the best recipe for Bienenstich (Bee sting cake) that I've ever seen here in the states and one that should actually work for a change. I'm keeping this book for sure.
