The New German Cookbook

Description

This cookbook takes readers on a flavourful journey through Germany, from the back roads of Bavaria to the three-star restaurants of Munich. Today's German cuisine couples hearty regional traditions with the subtler and more sophisticated tastes of the modern palate. Each of the 230 recipes - from Hessian paprika-beef stew, Frisian pear and bacon dumplings and potatoes with rosemary to a rich cherry torte - is carefully written, providing cooks with the best and easiest ways to create authentic German dishes in their own kitchens. The book also includes a guide to selecting the perfect German wine to accompany any meal.

The winner of five best cookbook awards (Tastemaker, James Beard, IACP) and a member of the James Beard Cookbook Hall of Fame, Jean Anderson writes for Bon Appetit, Food & Wine, Cottage Living, Gourmet, More, and other national publications. She lives in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

"These contemporary versions of Germany's hearty regional cuisines, from Munich to Hamburg, show Jean Anderson's special talent for researching, and adapting, recipes for American kitchens. Great eating here, or there!"-- Jean D. Hewitt, "Family Circle""Cherish this book by consummate food writer Jean Anderson and enjoy the new, lighter food of Germany."-- Barbara Kafka, author of "Party Food""This long-awaited volume...is not only a veritable relevant cookbooks to be published in years. Those who still believe that genuine German food is little more than sauerbraten, potato pancakes, and heavy cakes will have their eyes opened to (and thier tastebuds piqued by) a delectable trout soup, an intriguing squab and green bean salad with warm gravy dressing, and quark pudding with cherries. Virtually every wonderful classic dish is included here, but equally exciting are the more updated, contemporary recipes that confirm the important role Germany now plays in the evolution of world gastronomy. No serious cook (or traveler) should be without this useful and fascinating new book."-- James Villas, "Town & Country"
