Eggs, cheese, bread and garden vegetables as the main meal
This cookbook was a 1956 wedding gift to my mother. She's gone now — but her recipes aren't. Volume 7 covers the Vegetarische Gerichte chapter of Bayerisches Kochbuch. The book treats eggs, cheese, bread and garden vegetables as a full meal, with techniques of their own. The recipes go from poached eggs in herb sauce and herb pancakes to stuffed tomatoes, kohlrabi and peppers, pea fritters and semolina dumplings.
Each recipe has its original German name and number from the book, two headnote paragraphs, a historical note, US measurements with metric equivalents, a step-by-step method and a five-day meal grid built around the dish. Instant PDF download on Etsy. No physical book.
