If you’ve been to a German Beer garden, you most probably been introduced to the typical cheese dip called obatzda. This homemade obatzda is made with cream cheese, camembert, butter, spices and of course some beer. Don’t forget to serve it together with radishes, red onion, bread or a bretzel. This is a perfect cold summer side dish.
This is a homemade German apple strudel with a crispy surface and soft apple filling on the inside. It is both quick and easy to do, when using an already prepared phyllo pastry. It can be eaten warm or cold, depending on your preference. It is traditionally served with some vanilla cream or vanilla sauce. The cake is not so photogenic but that is not the most important, the taste is great...
Knödel is like a potato dumpling and can be made from flour,bread or potatoes as main ingredient. It is a side dish mostly served to some meat and a sauce. In this recipe I use already prepared knödels.
