German Chocolate Cake is NOT German

August 12, 2016 by The Kitchen Maus 5 Comments

German Chocolate Cake

  I’m pretty sure some of you already know that German Chocolate Cake has nothing to do with Germany or German food. If you didn’t, well, now you do. In this post I wish in no way to demean the deliciousness that is German Chocolate Cake. Really, I don’t. I simply wish to set the record…

Fresh Apricot Cake (Aprikosenkuchen)

July 30, 2016 by The Kitchen Maus 6 Comments

Fresh Apricot Cake (Aprikosenkuchen) by the Kitchen Maus

I’m obsessed with this fresh apricot cake right now.  It’s nothing  fancy but it’s perfect for summer, especially if you’re going to have coffee and cake with family. The slightly lemon-y vanilla cake is simple, fluffy and pairs wonderuflly with the slightly tart apricots.  Apparently, it’s something I’ve been missing in my life here because I’m having such…

Easy Braised Red Cabbage (Blaukraut)

July 15, 2016 by The Kitchen Maus 13 Comments

Easy Braised Red Cabbage (Blaukraut) | The Kitchen Maus

Enhancing a jar of ready-made German red cabbage to taste more like homemade is standard practice with my immediate family. It’s not to say that we don’t also have a recipe for making this braised German staple from scratch, but it’s just sometimes you don’t want the extra work of slicing up a whole cabbage head. This is going to be…

Spaghetti Ice Cream (Spaghettieis)

June 29, 2016 by The Kitchen Maus 19 Comments

paghetti Ice Cream (Spaghettieis) | The Kitchen Maus

This is spaghetti ice cream (Spaghettieis). It’s a quintessential German frozen treat that’s relatively unheard of outside of Germany. While it might look strange to some, it’s just a few familiar ingredients put together to create something deliciously unique. Some say it’s most beloved by children, but I know plenty of adults, like myself, that still treat…

Puff Pastry Twists (Knusperstangen)

June 15, 2016 by The Kitchen Maus 1 Comment

Puff Pastry Twists (Knusperstangen) | The Kitchen Maus

Puff Pastry Twists aren’t a uniquely German creation, by any means. If you looked them up on the internet right now, you’d find all kinds of different recipes from food bloggers, magazines and celebrity chefs. The German version just has a slightly different “twist” (couldn’t resist!) on this party appetizer that I really wanted to show you here. …

Simple Rice Pudding (Reisbrei)

Simple Rice Pudding (Reisbrei) | The Kitchen Maus

Rice pudding invokes a lot of warm childhood memories for many Germans and I’m no exception. This, along with Griessbrei or homemade pudding, would be one of those comforting dishes that your Oma would likely have made for you. To this day, I cannot smell cooking milk on the stove top without thinking of my Oma….

Strawberry Rhubarb Spritzer

May 13, 2016 by The Kitchen Maus 2 Comments

Strawberry Rhurbarb Spritzer

A strawberry rhubarb spritzer starts out with a simple recipe for strawberry rhubarb syrup. To be honest, it’s a syrup you could use for more than just making spritzer. I can imagine it being wonderful over vanilla ice cream, pancakes and especially in a glass of prosecco wine, or champagne, if you prefer!  I found…

Creamy Hunter Sauce (Jägersoße)

Creamy Hunter Sauce (Jägersoße) | The Kitchen Maus

To some of you that know me, creamy Hunter Sauce (Jägersoße) might be the last kind of post you’d expect me to write. Up until about a year or two ago, I did not like mushrooms. Not at all. As with several food items in my life that I once detested, I just decide one day that I was…

Simple Cherry Amaretto Crumble

April 16, 2016 by The Kitchen Maus Leave a Comment

Cherry Amaretto Crumble | The Kitchen Maus

No, this cherry amaretto crumble is definitely not a traditional German recipe. It is, however, German inspired. I promise.  I’ve been mulling over putting this recipe on my blog for almost a year now. I started making it last summer when I happily received a surplus of Eastern Washington cherries from my Mother-in-law and needed a…

German Café au Lait (Milchkaffee)

March 30, 2016 by The Kitchen Maus 15 Comments

German Café au lait (Milchkaffee) | The Kitchen Maus

Milchkaffee is by far my favourite coffee drink. Everyone else can keep their lattes, cappuccinos and macchiatos and I’ll just take my big, round mug of Milchkaffee. When I exclaim how much I love the taste of coffee (which is more often than you’d think being that I’m related to people that don’t like the taste of coffee), what…
