Red cabbage is one of the greatest delights of autumn: and not just because of its glorious purple colour! The complex taste of this member of the brassica family is highlighted in this simple recipe by adding a cooking apple, bringing out the sweetness as well as adding some acidity for more depth. Although I served this recently with…
St Martin’s, or Martinmas, is particularly popular with German children: in kindergardens, infant schools and at home we make paper lanterns to use for the processions that take place on the evening of November 11. This is followed by a family dinner revolving around a roast goose, which is the point where adults start enjoying it, too. Although I…
With autumn approaching, we are all yearning for some comfort food: warm as well as warming, full of strong flavours and hearty goodness. In other words: calories. This dish is as comforting as it gets, in fact sauerkraut is so popular in Germany that ‘Krauts’ became the derogatory term for German soldiers in World War I.…
Spätzle are to the cuisine of my region what rice is to Indian food or chips to Britain: there is hardly a dish that cannot be served, enhanced or transformed with a generous helping of these delicate little noodles. It’s the first dish we made when I got together with other students from my region at…

Just as the Inuit apparently have hundreds of different expressions for ‘snow’, the German language has countless metaphors steeped in sausages. Not literally, obviously. Thus if you are recycling, or even upcycling, anything, you are ‘using it for sausages’, ‘verwursten‘. Often this suggests a bit of a botched job (after all, it’s mostly offcuts and the bits…
As I have been baking bread for a few years now, the theme for this Bread Baking Day,’ancient’, really appealed to me: as a kid at my friend’s house, we helped her granny to prepare the breads for the weekly ‘baking day’, when the communal oven was heated up and the families of the village were…
These puddings are a traditional sweet dish from Swabia, a region in the south-west of Germany. Like Yorkshire puddings they pop up, which translates to ‘pfitz auf’ in our local dialect, Swabian. They are absolutely delicious served with custard or cherry compote! 60g unsalted butter 2 eggs 250ml lukewarm milk 150g plain flour pinch of salt…
