Finally, the Authentic German Recipes You Were Looking For

In my search for authentic German recipes that reminded me of the wonderful German food my Oma used to serve, I came across far too many recipes that were difficult to follow or didn’t end up tasting anything like the traditional German food my Oma, or a real German Gasthaus, would serve. Eventually I realized that the best way to collect authentic recipes was to go straight to the source: German cooks.

After raiding Oma’s recipe box, I started collecting and testing recipes from friends and family members in Germany, Austria and the US. One by one, I tracked down the recipes I was hunting for, and now I am able to prepare many of the traditional German foods I enjoy so much. Through this site, I am making these easy-to-follow recipes available to you. As my search turns up more recipes I think you might enjoy, I will add them to this site. If you are longing for the flavors of your favorite German dish, and you can’t find it here, be patient. It may show up soon. Or, feel free to contact me, and I will do my best to track it down for you.

I hope these German recipes bring you the same joy that they bring me and my family.
