German Recipes from Mom Karla Nelson

Great Authentic German recipes that are easy to make with simple ingredients. I grew up in a German community in the rural north. My mother, who was full-blooded German cooked many wonderful meals for our family. After I grew up and got married (to a German) I realized that not everyone knew how to cook these recipes the old way, or as I'll refer to it, my mother's way. I really wanted to leave my kids a way to connect with their family and have a piece of my history when I am no longer here. this book was written out of love for my seven children and with the hope that one day they will wish to teach their families how to cook the food that I grew up eating. These recipes are hearty and simple. My favorite ones are Kuchen (a fruit-filled pie), vooktee (a steamed bread dough with sweet sauce), and beer cheese soup. I think you will dearly love these recipes as much as I loved them growing up. Please don't miss the kneophla soup or the potato dumplings which I know will be a huge hit.
