Review Quotes

"I have written about German cuisine for almost 20 years and there is hardly a German cookbook in English that I haven't seen. Karen's book stands out--with one foot in German and one foot in American culture, she presents recipes that are authentic yet easy to recreate for American home cooks. Easy German Cooking covers the classics and also modern German favorites such as Chicken Döner and Schwenker Grill Pork Steaks. With ingredient glossaries and background information, Easy German Cooking is a primer for German cooking." --Nadia Hassani, food writer and author of Spoonfuls of Germany
