There are fine photos of people, places, beer, wine, countryside...well, it is almost a breath-taking read. Specialties are organized into sections by Region, begining with Thuringia and working around and south to Bavaria. No part of the country is left out. At 460 pages with Appendices, the book is not small but neither can it be encyclopedic. Recipes abound and they are clearly written, with weights and measures given in pounds and ounces and in Tablespoons and teaspoons so the book is just fine for American cooks. Some metric equivalents are provided if you want to cook that way. Few recipes call for hard-to-find ingredients. Within each region, recipes are interspersed with essays on featured products and ingredients. We are traveling in Germany for a month next year and I now feel that I know a lot about regional food and about food traditions. I know what I will look for on a menu!With Bavaria, comes an essay on beer making and another essay on Octoberfest and still another essay (with mouth-watering pictures) on local sausages and sausage types. The section on Berlin includes information on the importance of ethnic foods from Turkey, Greece and Italy along with the presentation of traditional food items such as 'Pork Knuckle with Sauerkraut' or 'Veal Scallops' with a fried egg on top, accompanied, perhaps, by sliced pickles and oven roasted potatoes (as shown in a photograph. The section on Schleswig-Holstein is the place to look for a comprehensive selection of fresh fish and shellfish as well as for treatment of dairy products and of lamb dishes. There is an essay on pubs and bars and another on food conditions for 'working class' residents of the city between 1860 and 1929. 'Pea Soup with Bacon' is a dish typical to the working class diet as is 'Berlin Potato Soup'. Fish recipes include 'Fried Pike Perch with Brown Butter,' 'Baked Polish Karp' and 'Stewed Eel.' Look to the section on the Saarland for a cornucopia of recipes for fruit tarts and for roasted or braised goat meat. Every section of the book features its own region's baked specialties: the section on Hesse features recipes for Christmas cookies and a recipe plus instructions for making a 'Gingerbread House.'The book is 10-1/4 inches tall by 9 inches wide and it comes with a very sturdy, flexible cover with a strong tape binding that opens easily and should last for years. That will be a good thing for lovers of Germany and its traditional foods. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ WOW.. *by X***4 on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 19, 2009* this is a really impressive book.. it goes into full detail of the areas and backgrounds of each dish.. i'm a great admirer of all the books in the culinaria series, for after you've looked through the book, afterwards you have a greater sense of respect for the culture that you happen to be reading about.. how many books can you say about that?? I had also bought 'spoonfuls of germany' but this book by far is the superior 1. 'spoonfuls of germany' virtually has no pictures / illustrations and it's left up to me to guess what the dish is supposed to look like. the only downside to this book i think is that there are no mention of 'servings' for each dish, so i have no idea if the ingredients are meant to serve 1 or 5.. and because it's so chockful of information, the book is quite big (almost 500 pgs!!) and the text is quite small, and maybe slightly inconvenient in the kitchen.Otherwise this is a great book. part geography book, part cookbook, this is a great addition to any kitchen. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Clulinaria Germania *by M***H on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 9, 2012* It is a wonderful way to introduce foreigners to the basic recipesof traditional German cooking while also providing colorful glimpsesinto historic cityscapes and landscapes. It would be wrong, however, tocome to the conclusion that you have hit contemporary cooking.Today'sCulinaria are defined by its multicultural society and by a people whoare known to be one of the most curious and adventurous travelers.You have to look or connect with a local aficionado to find the realoriginal food hidden in "Gastwirtschafts" in old towns' alleys and inpittoresque spots of the countryside. The book makes a very nice gift. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/9217286-culinaria-germany](https://www.desertcart.be/products/9217286-culinaria-germany) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
