I am originally from Kassel and immigrated to Canada when I was very young. My mother always cooked very german food which I so appreciated. I love to cook german food as my family and my husband's family seem to enjoy it. One has to admit that german food is very hardy and substantial. I wish there were some great German cookbooks, I only seem to find Dr. Oetker which are pretty simple.

[@yourCOShouse]

Plus in the Dr. OETKER.book they are using their products of course. You should be able to find some used german cookbooks on ebay

Badischer Kartoffelsalat, der beste der Welt. Meine Oma hat ihn aber immer mit warmen Kartoffeln gemacht. Und MAGGI ist das MSG der Deutschen auch sehr beliebt in Baden-Württemberg. Finde es toll, dass ihr ein altes Kochbuch aus der Heimat habt und es benutzt, so schmeckt es auch nach Heimat wenn man will.

[@yourCOShouse]

Ja jeder hat doch seine eigenen Gewuerze und Geschmaecker, ich bin froh, dass wir das Kochbuch haben aber total traurig dass es auseinanderfaellt. Danke fuer's gucken. Naechstes mal kommen Frikadellen.

[@EvelinHolmes]

There are thousands of German recipe.

[@teresafaulkner4874]

The recipe I had called for dry mustard it was very tasty

[@yourCOShouse]

@teresafaulkner4874 Sure, that sounds delicious!

My Mom used the bacon grease she had from frying the bacon. Added the vinegar to it. My mother in law never put bacon in it. I prefer bacon in it, but I always liked her salad, too. She put oil and vinegar and a little sugar.

[@yourCOShouse]

@GrandmaPatty49 yes I have seen that.being used before as well

[@debbiemccaffery4358]

Is the cookbook still in circulation? What's the title of the book and author

[@yourCOShouse]

@debbiemccaffery4358 Hi Debbie, unfortunately, the book is not available anymore. It was hyperlocal for the students of the local (house keeping school)

[@debbiemccaffery4358]

@@yourCOShouse thank you

[@NancyBurba]

Where do you buy the German products?

[@yourCOShouse]

@@NancyBurba we have a local German store, mom says she buys also here germanshop24.com

[@EvelinHolmes]

I can read fractur ,only as a book but not in hand writing.

[@yourCOShouse]

@@EvelinHolmes yeah handwriting is tough

[@dariadykyj2179]

Some German potato salads add sugar?

[@yourCOShouse]

@dariadykyj2179 wouldn't surprise me, north Germans like to do eat with a more sweet touch in salads I think.

[@vonpfrentsch]

Can you even read "Frakturschrift"? Nowadays, only people over 50-60 can still read Fraktur - if at all -, on the other hand e.g. my children can´t.

[@yourCOShouse]

Bei den Rezepten hab ich kein Problem, nur bei Geschichten wirds schwierig. I came to the US in 1995, and my Oma would write everything in Old German Schreibschrift. That was hard, but I figured it out. Unfortunately, she died at 67 long before I was old enough to ask her questions about the war.

[@vonpfrentsch]

@@yourCOShouse Danke! Ich habe hunderte von Klassikern (Goethe, Schiller etc.) in Fraktur, und kein Mensch kann sie lesen.

[@yourCOShouse]

@@vonpfrentsch ja das ist schade aber Goethe und Schiller ist fuer Viele in regulaerer Druckschrift schwer in zu lesen... Das ganze in altdeutsch zu Machen ist Dann doppelt schwer
