Glorious German Grub in English
Seasonal German food featuring north sea prawns and Königsberger Klopse
with Lisa Shoemaker
I would like to introduce you to German food beyond the pork & potato stereotype by selecting lesser known seasonal German dishes, and hopefully you will be surprised and delighted to discover that Germany has ingredients you did not know about. Kohlrabi is just beginning to be appreciated internationally, but what about salad burnet? There will be herbs in spring, white asparagus in April and May, berries in summer, mushrooms and quince in fall, braised cabbage in winter and dumplings anytime of year. There will always be a non-pork meat and a vegetarian alternative.
Menu (example):
- North Sea Prawn soup
- Summer salad with greens, flowers and herbs
- Königsberger Klopse: Veal dumplings in a creamy white wine sauce
- classic mashed potatoes: learn all about the different kinds of spuds
