Octoberfest has come and gone, but the flavors of German cooking are here to stay. From hearty sausages to tangy sauerkraut, German cuisine offers a rich tapestry of tastes that warm the soul.

You'll find a variety of German traditional dishes in the menu below, each with its own unique blend of flavor. Click the image to get to the interactive version, and from there you can clone to your account and make changes.

If you choose to prepare any of these dishes, I would suggest pouring yourself a cold pilsner and firing up your favorite music player with Der Ring des Nibelungen, Richard Wagner's epic musical drama. You'll never bake pretzels the same way again!



Prost!
