The Berlin Cookbook: Traditional Recipes and Nourishing Stories. the First and Only Cookbook from Berlin, Germany - Paperback

by Rose Marie Donhauser (Author)

The Berlin Cookbook reveals how to make Schnitzel, Currywurst, Eisbein, Döner Kebap, and those jelly donuts known as Berliners-and how easy it is, since Berlin cuisine is simple, wholesome, and down-to-earth. This cookbook offers sixty traditional recipes - meat dishes, vegetarian, sopus, and pastry. And it also tells stories about the heritage of Berlin food: how "Eisbein" got its name, why Frederick the Great made Prussian farmers plant potatoes, how meatballs were imported by the French Huguenots, and how Bismarck got his own herring.
