About German cooking
What defines German cooking?
German cooking pairs pork and potatoes with acid: vinegar and mustard cut through roast pork and sausage, cabbage is fermented into sauerkraut, and the sweet-and-sour braise (sauerbraten) marinates beef in vinegar for days. Caraway, juniper and marjoram are the recurring aromatics, dumplings and spaetzle are the starch alternatives to potato, and baking is a serious discipline of its own — rye sourdoughs, stollen, streusel. Our 125 German recipes cover everything from quick weeknight meals to classic dishes worth learning end-to-end.
What are common German pantry staples?
Waxy potatoes, rye and wheat flour, caraway seeds, juniper berries, marjoram, bay, mustard (sweet and hot), white wine and apple cider vinegar, onions, cabbage and sauerkraut, smoked pork and sausage, quark or sour cream, and lager or dark beer for braising.
