Tabs help find sections Oma's Ecke and Hints throughout Divided into 4 sections: Breads & Rolls, Cakes, Cookies & Squares, and Christmas Baking Notes from Oma Gerhild Born in Germany, yet growing up in Canada, meant I needed to depend upon the recipes I gleaned from my Mutti. She had experimented in the kitchen using ingredients that were foreign to her to try and capture the flavors that reminded her of the old country. Her creativity and inventiveness won out, and I grew up with German food in my blood. The recipes that form the core for most of my baking are quick, easy, and delicious, and can be made using local ingredients. They are the ones I’ve always relied on, especially at times when my life was very busy. During those times, having something quick and delicious on the table, such as Apfelstrudel and no-knead Sauerteig Vollkornbrot, was really important to me. Other recipes are more recent, such as Krustenbrot and Friesentorte, and have likewise become staples. These are some of the dozens of recipes that are in this cookbook. May they also be ones that will become favorites in your house. Tschüß, Oma Gerhild Editorial Reviews “One of the hardest things about German baking outside of Germany is trying to match those flavors and textures you remember so well. Fortunately, Gerhild Fulson has cracked the code! Not only do the cakes, cookies, and breads taste delicious, she made recipes that are easy for a home baker to re-create. Yes, even the Brötchen! With all of her tips and helpful hints, Gerhild's book, “Baking Just Like Oma” really does make you feel like Oma is in the kitchen with you.” — Karen Lodder, Author of Easy German Cookbook & founder of German Girl in America “Gerhild's Baking Just Like Oma reminds me of the countless times when I was looking over my Mom's shoulder, learning to bake traditional German cakes and cookies myself. What a delicious trip down memory lane! A word of caution: do not open the book when you're hungry!” — Margit Streifeneder, Founder of Balloon Decoration Guide (Bloonsup) & Digital Marketing Expert “Baking doesn't come naturally to me, but this book has shown me that creating delicious breads, cookies, and cakes is possible for me! Growing up in the German-American community, baking is an integral part of the culture and now I can do it at home with my kids. The design of the book makes it easy to skim through what we have time for and ‘Oma’s Ecke’ makes learning those baking tricks easy. Now it’s not only your Grandma knows about those secrets!” — Erika Neumayer Ehrat, founder & designer of Rare Dirndl
