OK, OK, I'm GERMAN. So here are my own recipes. Not so many, but worth a try:

Kellerkuchen (Cellar Cake)
A memory to my childhood and to many others. I have to admit that this recipe is an adaption to "modern" taste and "availability of better" ingredients. I can't remember a single birthday party without a Kellerkuchen. The main reason: you eat one slice and you are filled up. My aunt Ulla rediscovered this sweet treat a few years ago and have brought it as a gift to a party of ny parents. It was gone in seconds. We loved it. And throughout the party we were talking about childhood and how worst this cake was. This is a real treat. You will like it. Baking without heating up the oven. A kid pleaser, too. But the word "diet" should not be mentioned in the neighbourhood of this cake:D


Traditional German Plum Cake (Zwetschgenkuchen)
This is the star (together with my Käsekuchen, will be public soon) of my cakes. This is a true Traditional German Cake. I don't care what others say, I believe that a plum cake has to be made with a yeast dough. Otherwise it isn't a plum cake for me. Thinking about plum cake is mouthwatering for me. One should use the tart Damson plums, but for this recipe I have also try it with other plums and it works with them, too. It is so juicy and you home will be filled with some of the most delicate flavors of yeast dough and hot plums and cinnamon. It is really hard to wait until the cake is cooled. We eat it slightly warm with a lot of whipped cream and of course a cup of hot coffee (traditionlly also with whipped cream as topping of it).

Käsekuchen (Traditional German Cheese Cake)
Posted, and now public (10 October). I will also do some proof reading, because this one is a little tricky sometimes and it can turn out to be difficult. I have to check my translation from German to English. I hope not to make mistakes.
I'm so well known in my family and friends for this cake for many years. I made it now for more than 20 years. Not that often, I have to admit, because it takes its time to make. This is true traditional German Recipe. The original recipe is from one of the most bought baking books in Germany during the 1960. It was published again in 1990. And now I have my own book (my mother would this never give away). This cake is worthwhile all the "difficulties". I will post the link ASAP as public.


Tasty-Healthy Whole Spelt Bread
This is a kind of my own originals, but I think there are many more recipes like this one. Germany is the well known for BREAD. You can't count how many different types exist. Every region has their own recipes, every city has their own specialties, each family has their own favorites. This recipe is based on a basic yeast-type dough. Dry yeast is use instead of fresh baker yeast, because I always have dry yeast on hand. I have developed my own bread, to come as close to my own "taste" as possible. I like the flavour of whole spelt flour (can be replaced by whole wheat flour). Another reason for this bread: it is easy to make. If you have tried it once, you will find out that to make your own bread is so much tastier than brought one. I really don't know, where I found the original recipe, but throughout the years I have changed the recipe so often, that it would be difficult for me to decide it....

Fish Nuggets
Yes, this is not a true German recipe. I think you will find this kind of recipe in every region of the world. It is a memory to my childhood. My brother and I didn't like fish that much, but every friday we have had fish (a German tradition) and my mother often made "Fischstäbchen" for us. She always had Fischstäbchen in the freezer and fried them in oil. We always had them with mashed potatoes and peas. This was very often our lunch for Fridays. I have forgotten about Fischstäbchen, because I do not like frying in oil. The whole kitchen smells for hours But then I found this recipe in a German cookbook. It calls for frying, too. But I thought to give it a try and make them in the oven without any oil. I have changed the recipe to adapt the crust for baking and to my own taste. So, maybe not a German recipe, but a reminder to a German childhood - now presented in a more healthier way. And my modern adaption is not to call them Fischstäbchen, I call them nuggets

Rumtopf (Traditional German Beverage)
Very recently I posted this recipe as a request. Unfortunately you have to wait at least for six weeks to taste this traditional german beverage. So, too late for the Zaar World Tour. And one should have started earlier this year. Yes, you could do it in one step, too, but this would not be the traditional way to make this. I have never tried it in one-step. The main point is to use very ripe fruit full of flavors.

You see, although a German I do not have so many recipes on my list. But as said, I only post recipes I like to make for myself.

To make the in the original style you need practice, practice and of course a long time of practice

...but you can use a "Spätzlepresse


... or do it with a Spätzlebrett

I finally realized what Benelux reminds me of....
The name of a medication for acid reflux.
