meine tochter hat es als geschenk mit in die usa genommen. macht als gebundene ausgabe richtig was her. kam auch sehr gut an, so dass auch gleich was nachgekocht wurde. man muss nur bedenken, dass es schon einiges an gewicht hat.

Delicious...delightful....learning experience...If you've never been to Germany and enjoyed the "full meal deal", this is the book for you. Even if you have been to Germany, this is the book for you! Regional dishes, wines, culture and traditions to be enjoyed, tasted and shared. Although some ingredients are a bit difficult to obtain, some can be grown in your own garden or bought in speciality shops. In any case, Culinaria Germany presents you with a wonderful opportunity to take yourself, family and friends on a tasty tour of Germany and learn something about Germany's culture and traditions.

Having lived ten years in Germany and married to a German who loves to cook traditional dishes from her homeland, this book is a big hit at our house. I find all my favorite recipes with their origins explained and we find new favorites every time we open it. The recipies are quite accurate and easy to follow. Most have photos so you can see how they are traditionally served. The photos and the historical information make this book fun to read and to cook with. The recipies are organized by regions, German states to be exact, and it has a nice index for searching by other parameters. It's a large format coffee table book that your dinner guests will enjoy, especially after some Shweinehaxe mit Rotkraut. Ein Prosit!

This is a very nice and informative book containing lots of interesting facts and recipes found in German cuisine. I currently live in Germany and must say that the food here is not extremely tasty, but never the less it is super interesting to find out how the curry wurst was created, how sour craut is made and lots more typical German foods. The book is divided into German states and looks into local foods, providing not only information but sometimes historical facts about food. It has lots of inspiring recipes (although I must point out that this is not a recipe book, the recipes seem to complement the rest of the book content).It is a good book especially if you live in Germany or are planning to visit, and I found out it make for a great gift for fellow expats in Germany.

Excellent product.
