The last time I had them in Germany when we were staying in Dettelbach at a restaurant where the locals hang out.  Krautwickel or Cabbage […]

Käsesahne Torte, Cream Cake

One of my favorite Cakes or Tortes when sitting at a street cafe in Germany. It’s a little challenging for a beginner, but it’s worthwhile and tastes great!

Dinkelsbühl on the Romantic Road

As a former Reichsstadt, Dinkelsbühl in Middle Frankonia had rather small growth since the end of the Holy Roman Empire. It has escaped both wars and city planners kept the old town largely intact. It is a must stop along the Romantic Road! Dinkelsbühl was  “de facto” self governing until 1802 when it was annexed by Bavaria […]

German Bakeries and their Secret

A secret baking ingredient is Active Diastatic Enzymes. It enhances the “Krume”, you would still use the yeast! It promotes a strong rise, great texture and crust.

Currywurst

Both Berlin and Hamburg claim to have invented the Currywurst. However, Herta Heuwer from Berlin, who is said to have invented the Currywurst in 1949, has registered for a patent. Supposedly she was so bored in her snack bar at Stuttgarter Platz, that she began to create a sauce with tomato paste and spices. She […]

On our travels we took several day cruises on the Rhine, which starts in Koblenz. The last stop on the KD ship (Köln-Düsseldorf, the Goethe ship) is Rüdesheim. I highly recommend to buy a Guide Book for Germany. It helped me in the past to discover places I would’ve never thought of. My recommendation: Rüdesheim is […]
