and More !!!
Then you have come to the right place!!!
Dear German Food Lover,
For many years I watched my German mother create the most delicious traditional German meals. She learned her German recipes from her mother who cooked for high society people as well as her large family.
The art of cooking authentic and traditional German recipes appears to be getting forgotten. Even our relatives and friends back in Germany would rather buy “ready to cook” German food rather than creat it from scratch. But the old ways always taste the best.
My mother is now on the other side of 70 (though you wouldn’t think so when you see her). Many times I had tried to coax her recipes out of her, but like most brilliant cooks, the recipes are mostly in their heads. When I’d quiz her on how she made a certain meal, the usual answer was “oh, a little bit of this, and a little bit of that …”. Anyway, the recipe continued to remain a secret, and I was no better off.
So one day I came up with a cunning plan. If I could video her in her kitchen as she prepared the food, then I would have a permanent record. Well, it wasn’t that easy to convince her, but eventually after a lot of arm twisting (not really), she finally “YES”!!!
As we began filming, is occurred to me that others might also enjoy making these wonderful German recipes. And so it is my pleasure to pass on these little known secrets to you.
Below are a couple of these recipes. As you can see from the videos, her kitchen is plain and simple. But I can guarantee that what comes out is mouth watering, authentic and traditional German food.
If you follow these recipes, your family and friends will be begging you to tell them your secret too!!!
So please enjoy the videos. If you would like a printed version of the recipe, then there is a form to fill out below the videos. I won’t pass on your details to anyone else, so your Name and Email address are safe with me.
Happy German Cooking
Roger and Ursula (my mum)

My daughter is dating a young man of German decent. He is spending the day with us on Sunday and we wanted to prepare a German meal in his honor. Would love a menu suggestion to feed 10, 3 boys under the age of 10 (in other words, picky eaters!!) and 4 teenagers!
I am looking for a zucharkisrche torte recipe.
Thank you so much, and yes the ways of the past are being forgotten. My family lost our chance for our traditional recipes when my Oma died so thank you for giving me a tiny piece of my heritage back.
Roger,
I love this site I’m sure to be back time and again.
You must beg your mother to do more videos,I’m sure others
would ask you the same.
And thanks for the recipes I’m going to try them this
weekend.

I can’t wait to try these recipes, some of the best food we have ever tasted was at a German food restaurant. I had a meal called a black forest pot which was different meats layered in a small cooking pot but I have not been able to find any recipe close to that meal. We live in Alaska and don’t have many restaurants to choose from, so we do a lot of home cooking when we find a good recipe to try. Thank You, Joel.
Thanks, I like German Potato Salad Recipe. Cool !
I have been searching on the internet for a good German Potato Salad recipe and this is by far the best! Thank you so much from Dubai x
I realy enjoyed the receipes and I hope to tackle the receipes on my day off.
Thanks
Thanks so much Roger and Ursula:
I am an Air Force brat and was fortunate enough to be stationed with my parents in Sembach, Germany. From there, it was just a short drive down to this beautiful restaurant located along side a lake. Nothing fancy about it, EXCEPT the Schnitzel. It was out of this world, and it covered and overlapped the plate. Twist of lemon was all that was needed to bring out this mouth-watering delight. I attempt it from time to time with boneless center-cut pork chops. It is good, but as you said, it just isn’t the same without the German heritage, experience and magic touch, for it to ever turn out like I had in Germany. I was only about 10 or 11 years old then, but it is a taste, tradition and culture that I will miss forever and never forget. I am disabled and on a low income budget these days or I would definitely research and find that restaurant and go back if I were able to. Thanks for sharing your recipes….I am drooling down my shirt now……ha ha ha ha…..Guten Tag meine Freunde. -Charlie-
Thanks for the prompt recipe Roger + Uschi, Just finished making and serving the potato salad recipe for lunch. It turned out really well and I got great compliments on the taste. I diced up into small bits, 5 slices of bacon and crisped that really well and sprinkled it into the potato salad, it made it even better. My Mom was from Cologne and it remined me of the potato salad she used to make for us. Thanks again!
I can not tell you in words, what is in my heart. I was very young when my grandmother, and mother were in the kitchen. As we also grew up with all the home cooking. I want to send a HUGE thank you to your mother. For sharing with me what I thought I had lost. A way to my roots, with a good German meal. And as with your mother. I never saw my grandmother, nor my mother with any tool to measure with. And most of the things they made, were logged in their heads. I do have a couple, but none as your mother. BLESS YOU BOTH.. To share this with ones as myself. So it will live on in my family. My German is more than just rusty. But here is a stab at something for your mother and you.

I was looking around the web for a detailed recipe on Schnitzel and German Potato Salad, and I came across your wonderful site. I am a beginner when it comes to cooking these delicious German favorites. I look forward to trying them out soon especially hoping to impress my German boyfriend.
Vielen Dank Ursula and Roger…!
I just learned my mom’s way of making her yummy potato salad,, it is the same with the sweet pickles .. but add a small amount of dill pickles, little mustard and she uses 3 tbs vinegar apple cider.
It’s requested now from me to bring this dish to all our Jaguar football tailgate parties!!!
Thanks for posting two great instructional videos. Ursula is an excellent instructor. So many times I see videos where they left out a step or an ingredient and you never get the recipe right.
When preparing the schnitzel, I noticed Ursula didn’t press the flour or bread cumbs into the meat. She merely rolled it several times to get the coating. I’m going to try that method.
Do you have any more German recipes? When I was a kid someone taught me how to make spaetzle (sp?) but I’ve since forgotten. I would love to see Ursula prepare it on a video. Even if you don’t have a video, if you have a recipe, can you mail it to me?
Thanks again.
I have truly enjoyed this site and the wonderful recipes you have shared. It is so helpful to be able to watch your videos!From my home to yours~ Thank you and many blessings, Katherine
Ich liebe deutsches essen!! Vielen danke!!
Thanks so much for this recipe. I have a german friend whose mother always made the german potato salad and I loved it! So I’m making it tonight for my father in law’s birthday supper. I have a better idea of making it after watching the video. Thanks a lot. Greetings from Venezuela.
Thank you for the recipes. I was in Germany three years and got hooked on Schnitzel and potato salad and red cabbage.
The best that I have found in the U.S. was at the Berliner Eck in Bettendorf, Iowa,but none where we live.
Thank you
Thank you for having your mum share her recipes. I wish I had been so brilliant and thoughtful to get my mum’s recipes. Do you have obne for baked beans? My mum made the beans and then baked them with pork chops on the top. It was such a great meal.
Again thank you. God bless you and your mum for keeping the German heritage alive.
I love to eat schnitzel and potato salad. there one of my favorite german dishes my mom makes. have you ever been to a schnitel stand in germany?
Dankes fur ihre rezepte auf dem video sind sie gross. Ich wohnte 12 Jahre in Deutschland wahrend Der Marine AG. Meine Mutter in Gesetz machte Schnitzel fur mich, bis sie starb…jetzt kann ich sie zu mir machen.
Danke von Pittsburgh
I am an AF brat; lived in Germany 4 years (Ramstein AB), 1977-1981. LOVE LOVE LOVE german food. Would love the recipe for the German Potato Salad. Thank you!
My granddaughter is a German teacher and spent some time in Germany,and is very fascinated with anything German. She loves to cook German but she is vegetarian. Thank you both so much for taking the time to make these videos–I’m anxious to try them, however, I don’t have a printer at the present.
Hello Ursula I do allot of cooking, my wife is German, her Mother died and took all the recipes with her. She told me that her mother never used Mayonnaise, in her potato salad. She remembers after she browned the bacon, and remove them from the skillet, she used to brown the flour in the bacon grease, then added the white vinegar, until thick, remove from heat cool a little,put the bacon back into the mixture. Add the celery seed, parsley, green chopped onion, salt & pepper to the potato’s, 2 or 3 chopped hard boil eggs, then put the vinegar mixture, on the potato and mix very gently .
TIP If the flour mixture is to thick add a very little hot water, or vinegar.
We took 3 trips over Germany, and I was really disappointed in the Sauer-braten. Could you send me your recipe, Thank You Mr. J.C.M.
I want to thank you for sending me your potato & Schnitzel recipe, I love German food, my wife’s German & I am Italian, what a combination.
Thanks heaps for the recipe mate!
Ursula is a great cook
this is such a sweet video of your Mom, Ursula….I will try both of the recipes and think of your Mom when I make them. Thanks for sharing!!!!
I am of German decent and even have a cookbook hands written from the 1800’s in German….of course non of us can read it, but it is a treasure just as well. Thanks again.
Thankyou so much for videos!
I’m doing an assingment on easy German cuisines and this is one of the best sites I’ve seen so far. Thanks again
Being an Army brat, I grew up in Leimen, Germany. Just watching the videos reminded me of how good the food was, especially when it came to schnitzel. I am now enrolled in culinary class, and have been leaning towards German cuisine, and food like this is the reason why. I can’t wait to see more.
THANK YOU!! for putting these on the internet for all to enjoy. my ancestors were from Germany and it’s a shame i have to search the web for recipes. your right when you say that the German recipes are being forgotten. but thanks to you i have found some good ones. thanks and keep up the good work.
This looks just like Oma made it…will give it a try! Thank you!
