http://cuisine.com.au/recipe-finder/german-recipes A variety of German recipes from black forest cherry cake through to sauerkraut and bratwurst... en-au http://cuisine.com.au/recipe/Miezes-plum-cake We have enjoyed this cake warm from the oven with cream and cold as a sort of variation on a muffin at breakfast-time. http://cuisine.com.au/recipe/turkey_schnitzel_with_potato_and_pea_salad If you're not keen on turkey, turn chicken breast fillets into crunchy golden schnitzels instead. http://cuisine.com.au/recipe/mums-apple-spice-cake For this concoction you can't go past a good old granny smith apple: they're crisp, fresh and perfectly tart. You can stick to the classic recipe or make your own variation by adding different fruit or nuts; a slow-cooked quince in place of a granny smith is lovely. http://cuisine.com.au/recipe/Mums_potato_salad A regular at barbecues and picnics, my mum would cook double the bacon needed in anticipation of the children sneaking a piece at every opportunity. http://cuisine.com.au/recipe/Almond-crusted-apple-pie Choose apples that are firm and smooth with characteristic colour and no bruises or blemishes. Some varieties are better for cooking than eating - as a general rule, those with a high sugar content hold their shape better when cooked. http://cuisine.com.au/recipe/Veal-schnitzels-with-steamed-baby-potatoes-and-cos-leaves A classic favourite with a twist. http://cuisine.com.au/recipe/Chocolate-and-almond-cake It seems illogical, but I dislike intensely strawberries dipped into chocolate and yet I love a super-fudgy chocolate cake offered with strawberries and cream. Even better if the strawberries have been macerated in balsamic syrup as described above. And my preferred chocolate cake in this combination is the wonderful classic Reine de Saba or Queen of Sheba, popularly known as the flourless chocolate cake; here is my version. http://cuisine.com.au/recipe/chestnut-almond-torte-with-chocolate-cream Based on a recipe from Lilly Joss Reich. http://cuisine.com.au/recipe/christmas-stollen It's a funny thing how smells can bring back so many memories - but now when I see that stollen coming out of the oven and smell the scent of almonds and spices I am transported back to my childhood. My Christmas memories are of walking into golden flickering candlelight on Christmas Eve and rooms decorated with traditional German figurines. http://cuisine.com.au/recipe/Bulkes-yeast-buns Our homecook hero, Reitta Haifer is a host and an entertainer who can scratch an empty kitchen into a party.
