Classic German Baking: The Very Best Recipes for Traditional Favorites, from Pfeffernusse and Streuselkuchen

$35 · Offered by Kitchen Arts & Letters

One of the casualties of more than twenty years of tunnel vision among American publishers was attention to the food of any country without a Mediterranean coastline. Fortunately that has been changing of late, and the release of this detailed and informative cookbook is one of the best results of a broader perspective. Weiss, though she is of Italian-American heritage, was born and raised for a time in Berlin and lives there now. Her collection of sweet and savory recipes will have an extra resonance during the winter holidays with goodies such as lebkuchen , pfeffernüsse , and Christbrot , a home version of stolen that can be eaten right away without the aging the more famous loaf demands. Here as well are savory items such as a creamy leek tart, a potato-and-cheese flatbread, and a delicate cabbage strudel. Sehr gut ! Color photographs throughout. Hardcover.
