Käsespätzle
The cheese noodles of Swabia and the Allgäu — soft egg dumplings pressed straight into boiling water, layered with melting mountain cheese and topped with deep-golden fried onions.
Beef Rouladen
The German Sunday roll-up — thin slices of beef spread with mustard and rolled around bacon, onion and gherkin, then browned and braised in red wine until tender in a dark, rich gravy.
Sauerbraten
Germany's sour roast — beef marinated for three days in red wine vinegar, wine and spices, then braised slowly and served with a sweet-sour gravy thickened with crumbled gingerbread and raisins.
Currywurst
Berlin's street-stall favourite since 1949 — fried pork sausage, sliced and drowned in a warm, sweet curry-spiced tomato sauce, dusted with more curry powder and eaten with a bread roll.
Stollen
Dresden's Christmas loaf — a buttery yeasted dough full of rum-soaked raisins, candied peel and almonds, folded around a rope of marzipan and buried in icing sugar. It keeps for weeks and improves after a few days' rest.
Rye Bread
A dense, German-style mixed rye loaf with caraway, raised with yeast rather than sourdough. Rye needs a wet, sticky dough that is mixed rather than kneaded, and a full day's rest before slicing so the crumb sets.
Soft Pretzels
The Bavarian Brezel made at home — soft, chewy knots of yeasted dough dipped in a hot bicarbonate bath that gives them a glossy mahogany crust and the pretzel flavour, then scattered with coarse salt.
Black Forest Cake
The German Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte — layers of chocolate sponge brushed with kirsch, sour cherries and whipped cream under chocolate shavings. A properly whisked sponge, rested overnight, keeps the layers light and the slices clean.
German Potato Salad
Warm potatoes in a bacon and vinegar dressing — no mayonnaise, and served while it is still warm.
