The Real German Cuisine Challenge

by Christina Geyer on February 7, 2009 · 9 comments

I’ve finally typed up all the titles of the recipes in “Die echte deutsche Küche” (The Real German Cuisine), which can now be found under Recipes on the navigation bar.  I’ve also translated the first recipe that I will be trying out next weekend, Semmelknödel mit Pilzen or bread dumplings with mushrooms.  Let me know if you’re going to participate too.  We can take turns picking recipes from the list, and as we prepare to do them, I’ll get them translated and posted.  If we want to get through the book in a year, we’re going to be really busy, so I’m thinking this may end up being a two year project.  Wow.

Wow. Too bad I don’t like ’shrooms or I would make it with you! :)

Oh, how I wish I could, but I’m just not up to standing in the kitchen for any length of time right now. I’ll just have to tag along virtually since I’ve been thinking of doing the same thing for quite some time. My dad is Austrian and he looooves his Semmelknödel.

This is great, Christina. I’d love to do this with you. Shall we try for a specific day to post?

How about everyone participating make this on the weekend, then we’ll post about it on Monday and link to each others posts. Then for future recipes, how about you look through the titles of the recipes (the links in the post) and pick a couple recipes (or menus) that you’d especially like to do. I’ll get to work translating those recipes, then set up a calendar for when we plan to make what. I’m sick at the moment, but when I feel better I’ll get to translating the recipe names to English in case you don’t speak German.

@maria: Maybe you can do the non-mushroom recipes :)

@christina: I hope you feel better soon! I’m sending healing vibes your way.

One of my favorate dishes….Here in the Philippines I have no good moshroms. I love it with Steinpilzen und RotKaepchen oder Pfiferlinge(Reherln)With Champinons is it not that good. Looking at the time of the year is it really not in season. This will be a good dish in the Summer.
You can go yourself in the Forest and collect them or you can buy them in the Market as they have them usually in every village. In Regensburg vorm Domplatz bei der Alten Kapelle.
