Cooking the German Way
by Helga Parnell
Lerner Publications Company
ISBN 0-8225-4107-6
Published September 2002 - Hardcover - 72 pages - $25.26

I found another few titles in this delightful series of books which I wanted to review.  I particularly like them as they are not only for children, even though I found them in the juvenile non-fiction area in my library.  Each book has interesting facts about the respective country as added reading (learning) to the recipes.  I recall visiting Munich and Heidelberg some twenty years ago, but I don't remember indulging too much in the German food.  I do remember the wonderful German sausages however.  Of course there is more to German cuisine than sausages, and these recipes appealed to me: Fish with Mustard Sauce; Red Cabbage; Potato Soup, and Apple Cake.  If you have a child (or adult) who's interested in cooking, it might be fun to check out this fine series - you never know, you might just have a budding international chef on your hands!  You can enjoy reading about the history of Germany, its people, and festivals.  Look at the back cover of the book for a list of other countries in this series.
Conclusion - Very interesting and worthwhile.
