    Nice Memory Jogger!
  

*by L***P on Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2012*

I feel sad that my travels never took me to Delores, Colorado in the 1990s.  I think I would have loved Rita's restaurant!  Other reviewers commented about how some things are "missing" in the recipes.  I too have noticed the omissions like how many servings each recipe makes, etc....  I simply look at the recipes as general outlines from which to improvise, enhance, or change as your personal tastes dictate.  The pork schnitzel is a hit with my family.  The first time I did it, I followed the recipe exactly.  Wow!  Some ancient memories bubbled to the surface of my memory.  My paternal grandmother was first generation American of German descent.  She must have made schnitzels when I was a young girl.  Rita's sauerbraten recipe was merged with another one given to me by a Bavarian friend and tweaked by me became another trip down a gastronomic memory lane. My first husband was from northern Germany and he made a beef dish and I had forgotten what he called it. After following Rita's recipe I realized what my former husband had cooked for me - a kind of simplified version of sauerbraten.The chicken soups are WONDERFUL.  The soup's only seasoning is juniper berries (used as a substitue for pepper back in the middle ages when pepper was rare and expensive) and bay leaves. Wow! The delicious simplicity will tickle your taste buds for sure! The use of juniper berries is common in German cuisine, but not used as much in American cuisine.If you are a confident cook willing to improvise and tweak a recipe, Rita's little cookbook will work quite nicely for you as it's doing for me. So, think of Rita's recipes as general outlines on which you can build and create your own customized German dinner.Guten Appitit!

    Wonderful authentic recipies
  

*by W***Y on Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2012*

As a child my father would go to Germany often for business and fell in love with their food. My mother being an excellent cook began to research and cook German food from time to time for fill the need in between his trips. I purchased two of these cook books for my sister and I so that we could try to live up to my father's German food expectations. This past weekend I cooked a German feast for my father and he was very impressed!The recipes in this book are easy to follow and basic German home cooking. There is a great variety of recipes that will fit many different occasions! Love it!!!

    Leaves a lot to be desired
  

*by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2012*

I wanted to love this book. Unfortunately I don't. While it is a nice tribute to her customers it leaves a lot to be desired in the way of true German dishes. I grew up in a heavily German populated area of NYC and enjoyed all of the wonderful mother land foods while growing up. The recipes in this little book leave a lot to be desired, for instance the recipe for Potato Dumpling (Kartoffelknoedel) has as its ingredients:5 large Idaho potatoes1 kaiser or 2 french rollspotato starch1 teaspoon salt 1 pinch nutmeg2 eggsShe then goes on to give the mixing instructions but does not tell you how much potato starch to add.....a teaspoon, a tablespoon, a cup? She leaves you guessing and if you're not an experienced cook I can see you having many problems with a lot of the recipes.The book is a nice tribute to her restaurant and her overcoming her lifes trials but in no way it is a great German cookbook. I'll be looking for another soon.
