Mimi Sheraton Libros

In this celebratory fiftieth anniversary edition, The German Cookbook serves as the definitive guide to German cuisine, featuring a wide array of recipes for soups, entrees, breads, desserts, and exceptional baked goods. Renowned food writer Mimi Sheraton not only provides easy-to-follow recipes but also includes recommendations for restaurants both domestically and internationally, along with tips for ordering traditional dishes. The historical impact of German cuisine on the American diet is significant, influencing staples like hamburgers, frankfurters, and jelly doughnuts. In her new Preface, Sheraton highlights the growing American appreciation for the health-conscious and seasonal dishes that Austrian and German cooks have long mastered. The collection features classic Bavarian recipes, nose-to-tail pork, wild game, organ meats, hearty root vegetables, and a variety of cabbage dishes. It also includes main-course soups, one-pot meals, whole-grain breads, and indulgent chocolate confections, alongside lesser-known dishes that deserve rediscovery, particularly the refined seafood of Hamburg. With over fifty years of research and travel throughout Germany, Sheraton has curated an authentic collection that stands as a classic in the culinary world, celebrating a lifetime of exceptional meals. Cheers and good eating!
