Although you would find some of the dishes in restaurants or hotels of Germany, they are simple enough for everyday use. The author was born and raised in Germany where she collected this wide variety of recipes. The recipes contain first the English name and then the German name. They are converted for the use in the American kitchen, so you don't have to worry about the metric system. This also eliminates the need for metric measuring utensils.
Every page has either a helpful hint or a German proverb with translation on the bottom.
The book has a spiral binding to allow the pages to lie flat. There are over 300 recipes contained in this wonderful cookbook.
