Wurst
Wurst means sausage, and Germany is said to have over 1,500
different kinds. Every region has its own specialty, often
sold as snacks on the street with a roll and a large dollop
of mustard. Bratwurst is long and served grilled. All sorts
of spicy sausages, salamis and cold hams are served at a typical
evening meal.

Apple & Dried Cherry Strudel
The traditional strudel is eaten in the evening (tea time).
It is made with the dough which is rolled and stretched till
it becomes paper-thin by hand. To save time, use frozen phyllo
dough, which is completely prepared and easy to use. Delicious
and tasty, the apple or cherry can be substitute with orange
or lemon.

Chicken Rouladen
If you have only enjoyed rouladen prepared with red meat,
this version, made with flattened boneless, skinless chicken
breasts will be a pleasant, lighter alternative. Cheese-lovers
can add a thin slice of provolone or swiss cheese over the
ham before topping with the roasted red pepper.

Chocolate cherry bread
Chocolate and cherries pair in some of the world's favorite
sweets, including Germany's Black Forest cake. This deep-toned
dough packs a double dose of chocolate in the form of cocoa
powder and tiny chocolate bits. Dried cherries, which are
very concentrated, add a burst of fruit flavor with every
bite.

German Baked pancakes
This pancake is more akin to Yorkshire pudding than to griddle
cakes, since both are based on light batters and baked at
high temperatures. The pancake puffs up dramatically in the
oven. Simplify the recipe by skipping the apples and serving
with just a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a dusting of
confectioners sugar.

Spiced Pear Pie with Almond Streusel
Most baked fruit pies have an upper crust to hold in moisture
during cooking; some, like this one, are topped with crumbs
that serve the same purpose, but also add extra flavor and
crunch.

Rhineland Chicken Burgers
The burgers are a delicious meal eaten during lunch or dinner,
and is found in most countries. The soft patties will be easier
to shape if you wet your hands, the patties will firm up as
they cook. Most supermarket meat departments will grind the
chicken for you, or you may find it already prepared and packaged.
