German Recipes - Kochrezepte

A German-English Guide to the Cuisine of
Austria, Germany and Switzerland

The following recipes are in German and English. German (European) recipes are different from Anglo-American recipes in that they tend to use weight measurements (grams) rather than volume measurements (cups, teaspoons) for the ingredients (Zutaten). German kitchens almost always have a Küchenwaage, or kitchen scale, to measure cooking ingredients. With that in mind, we have provided some common conversions, plus links to conversion and recipe sites.
The recipes are arranged by category (drinks, main courses, salads, cocktails, desserts). If you need help with vocabulary, see our Kochglossar. We will continue to add more recipes in various categories, and we invite you to submit your own (in German!). - Guten Appetit!

Note: Recipes are presented "as is" and not all have been tested personally by your Guide.

  • 300g Himbeeren
  • 300g Johannisbeeren
  • 150g Zucker
  • halbe Zitrone
  • 50g Grieß
Zubereitung
Vorbereitete Früchte kochen, durch Sieb streichen. Zucker zusetzen und unter Zugabe von Grieß aufkochen, ausquellen lassen und mit Zitronensaft verfeinern.
English (Red Fruit Pudding)
Ingredients: raspberries, currants; sugar, half lemon, semolina.
Directions: Boil prepared fruit and strain. Add sugar and bring to a boil while adding semolina. Let the mixture expand and then refine with lemon juice.
Sachertorte
Zutaten
  • 6 Eier (6 Eigelb, 6 Eiweiss)
  • 130g Butter
  • 130g Schokolade
  • 130g Mehl
  • 200g Zucker
  • Schokoladenfondant
  • Aprikosenmarmelade
Zubereitung
Butter mit Hälfte des Zuckers schaumig rühren, dann Eigelb und die flüssige aber noch lauwarme Schokolade kurz einrühren. Eiweiß mit dem restlichen Zucker zu Schnee schlagen. Beide Massen mischen, vorsichtig Mehl einrühren. Die Fettmasse darf nicht zu flüssig sein, aber auch nicht zu fest, sondern soll ungefähr die Konsistenz des Schnees aufweisen. Bei mittlerer Hitze ausbacken. Die Torte soll vor dem Glasieren gut durchgekühlt sein, daher ist es ratsam, sie einen Tag vorher anzufertigen. Die obere Kante der Torte mit einem Messer abrunden. Oberfläche und Rand mit heißer Marmelade dünn glattstreichen, mit Schokolade überziehen.
English (Sacher Cake)
Ingredients: Six eggs (separated), butter, chocolate, flour, sugar, chocolate icing, apricot jam.
Instructions: Stir half of the sugar into the butter until stiff, then briefly stir in the egg yolks and the liquid-but-still-luke-warm chocolate. Mix and beat the egg whites and the rest of the sugar into a meringue. Mix both masses, while carefully adding the flour. The combination should be neither too liquid nor too firm, but should have the approximate consistency of the meringue. Bake in a medium oven. The cake should be well cooled before glazing, so it is a good idea to prepare it a day in advance. Round off the upper edges of the cake with a knife. Spread the top and sides with a thin covering of hot jam, then cover with chocolate icing.
