Here’s the next installment of my vegetable soup recipe trio – Tomato Soup. Yes, it’s my favourite this week, especially since fall is in full swing over here. Tomato soup equals serious comfort food when the weather turns cold and rainy. This soup also holds some warm childhood memories. It’s a soup my Oma often made when visited her and Opa over the…

Simple Zucchini Soup (Zucchinisuppe)
Let’s start this vegetable soup recipe trio with one of my favourites – Zucchini Soup. Okay, if I’m honest, these three soups are all my favourite but I’m going to call zucchini soup my favourite today. It’s certainly the easiest. During my recent two month stay in Germany, my Mother and I received a lot of fresh vegetables from…
German Soup Vegetables (Suppengrün)
I’m back! Done with my hiatus, settling into Pacific Northwest life again and missing Germany terribly. My husband and I had an amazing wedding. Even though I had a terrible cold that day, I’m only remembering the wedding and not how miserable my body felt. When the official wedding photos come in, I’ll thinking about posting…
A Recap for Oktoberfest Recipes
It’s not quite time for Oktoberfest yet but it’s less than a week away. I really feel that I should be getting busy in preparing a huge Oktoberfest recipes post in honour of one of Southern Germany’s most well known traditions (or beer drinking party in a big tent). However, we went and decided to have our…
Warm German Potato Salad (Kartoffelsalat)
I believe that warm German potato salad has to be one of the most requested recipes I’ve had so far. Though I’ve promised it several times already, I’ve never gotten around to it. I’m pretty sure I was putting it off because I’m not a huge fan of potato salad. Part of me wasn’t looking forward to having…
German Iced Coffee (Eiskaffee)
For those of you that don’t already know, I’m in Germany for the next several weeks. Why, you might ask? Well, it’s because I’m putting together the finishing touches of our wedding in September. I have to laugh because I keep getting the question from some of the guys in my life as to why I need…
Kinder Schnitzel
This. This recipe is one of my absolute favourites. Kinder schnitzel is tender little slices of pork tenderloin that have been breaded and pan-fried. For all intents and purposes, they’re just like a mini schnitzel. I’m sure that most folks would agree that schnitzels are one of Germany’s most well-known foods after sauerkraut and maybe on par with warm…
Carrot Apple Salad (Karotten-Apfelsalat)
Oof, the weather has been really warm up here in the Pacific Northwest. I overheard someone at the grocery store say that they were looking forward to go down to California to cool off. Apparently, it’s 10 degrees cooler in Anaheim than here in the Seattle area. You’ll never hear me complain about the heat since…
Pan Fried Bratwurst
In the past when I’ve asked someone (usually German) about how to cook bratwurst, I’ve usually gotten an answer like – just pan fry them until they’re brown and done through. That should be simple enough, right? Except, when you’re cooking raw sausages, as bratwurst always should be, there’s room for error. For me, this translates to the bratwurst…
Homemade Currywurst
Currywurst is widely considered to be the ultimate German street food. The lovers of this dish are ardent about what should and should not go into the perfect currywurst sauce. This has made the recipe a tough nut for me to crack. In hunting across the internet on both English and German sites, I’ve found recipes that use…
