Description

‘For me the German kitchen is as much a way of life as it is about preparing a meal. I want to teach as many people as I can about German family food in the hope that it will satisfy, inspire and bring new dishes to the table’

Strudel, Noodles and Dumplings is a cook book about Germany’s varied culinary heritage seen through the eyes of Anja Dunk’s family recipes, most of which have been given a new life in her young family kitchen.

From recipes such as Vollkorn-Buttermilch Waffeln (Wholewheat buttermilk waffles) to Schweinebraten mit Kummel (Caraway roast pork) and Zucchini und Gruener Paprika Salat in Joghurt Sosse (Courgette and green pepper salad with yogurt dressing) home-cooked German food is gently spiced, smoky, buttery and deeply savoury, yet sweet and sour. Anja’s way of cooking is vibrant, honest and deeply intertwined with the seasons and the weather. Featuring over 200 simple recipes for the everyday family table, as well as a handful for special occasions, Anja’s cook book will be an essential guide for all the basics of German cuisine, at the same time as providing inspiration and encouragement for cooking through the year.

My Recommendation

I loved poring over this book! Some of the recipes whisked me back to my childhood and my father's side of the family who would enjoy traditional German foods. I still gravitate towards these things as an adult as comfort food, but I've never tried to make very much of it myself. I was so pleased that everything was laid out in a clear, easy to follow way. Also, the pictures are just gorgeous. I felt inspired, and not just a little envious of such a beautiful rustic style kitchen. The chapters go above and beyond by covering everything you could possibly need, including canning and preserves which is something I've got such a keen interest in trying. There are even special occasion and seasonal options. I am certain that I bookmarked at least one recipe in every single section to try very soon. I love that the author has elevated classic foods, but also made them so very accessible. I think a better cover would really set this book apart, definitely the current sleeve could use updating since it really jars with how lovely the inside is.
