Classic German Baking
“In demystifying German baking [Luisa Weiss] has done all cooks a great service. An inspiring and delicious labour of love.”
—The Daily Telegraph
“This overdue guide is a happy marriage of European craft and American sensibilities.”
—The Washington Post
”As an expat American, Weiss has a sense of discovery that permeates her book, giving a sense of wonder and appreciation to the sometimes complicated recipes. It’s just the right sensibility, and it makes for a cookbook that’s not only useful and instructive but charming.”
— The Los Angeles Times
German baking has influenced baking traditions around the world for generations and is a source of great nostalgia for those of German and Central European heritage. Yet the very best recipes for Germany’s cookies, cakes, tortes, and breads, passed down through generations, have never before been collected and perfected for contemporary American home bakers. Enter Luisa Weiss, the Berlin-based creator of the adored Wednesday Chef blog and self-taught ambassador of the German baking canon.
