A Taste of German Coffee Tradition There are some products that are closely connected with everyday life in Germany. Jacobs Kronung is one of them. For many Germans, the familiar green package and the aroma of freshly brewed filter coffee are associated with breakfast, Sunday afternoons, family visits, and those moments when there is finally…
Currywurst Recipe with Knorr Fix Sauce Mix Currywurst is one of those German dishes that can be enjoyed in many different ways. You might pick one up at a German Imbiss, order it with fries, make it at home with your own curry sauce, or throw some sausages on the grill in the garden and…
When people think about German food and drinks, beer and mineral water probably come to mind first. But Germany has a surprisingly varied selection of non-alcoholic beverages, from sparkling apple spritzers and classic colas to fruit juices that have been part of German households for generations. I have always found German soft drinks interesting…
There is something special about old German pewter pieces. Their weight, detailed reliefs, traditional lettering, and often very decorative designs give them a character that modern home accessories rarely have.

This hazelnut nougat spread has a strong connection to German food culture, particularly to the former East Germany, but what keeps me coming back is the taste. Nudossi tastes intensely nutty, with a rich cocoa character…
Tomato bruschetta is one of those simple dishes that does not need much to taste good. Ripe tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, fresh basil, and toasted bread already make a very satisfying appetizer. I like recipes like this because there is plenty of room for small variations without changing what makes the dish work. In this…

The German word Pferdesalbe literally means “horse balm,” which can make it sound as though the product is made for horses or even contains something derived from horses. The story behind the name, however, is quite different. Horse Gel Balm, a German…
I first came across Swiss-o-Par Silver as a hair-care product for gray and bleached hair, but my personal connection with the range is through my family.
