Some German foods are easy to recognize even before you taste them. For me, Nudossi is one of them. 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…
Pferdesalbe is one of those German products whose name immediately makes people curious. 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. I once brought the Swiss-o-Par Silver Shampoo, Conditioner, and Conditioner Treatment set to my aunt because she was looking for hair care that suited her hair. She was very…
When I think about Kaba, I immediately think of childhood. I already liked it as a kid, and I remember how simple it was to make: a glass of milk, two teaspoons of Kaba powder, a quick stir, and I had my chocolate drink. Kaba Choco is a classic German cocoa drink powder that is…
When I think about German beer culture, I do not think only about the beer itself. The glass, mug, or stein it is served in can also tell a story about a brewery, a region, a special occasion, or even a piece of German history. That is especially true with the many German beer steins…
When I think about German home cooking, Rinderrouladen are one of the dishes that immediately come to mind. They are also one of my favorite German comfort foods. Thin slices of beef, mustard, bacon, onions, and pickles are rolled together, browned, and slowly cooked until the meat becomes tender and the cooking juices turn into…
When I think about German hazelnut wafers, two names come to mind immediately: Hanuta and Knoppers. Both are familiar German snacks, and both combine crispy wafers with a hazelnut-based filling. They may look similar at first, but they have quite different personalities. Hanuta is one of the familiar hazelnut wafer snacks associated with everyday life…
When I think about German grocery stores, I do not first think about online shopping. I think about the supermarkets and small shops I knew in Germany, the familiar brands on the shelves, and the products that were simply part of everyday life. GermanBuy brings German-market food and everyday products to customers outside Germany. …
Instant Yeast in Germany: A Baker’s Guide When I think about baking in Germany, one of my first memories is watching my grandmother bake during my school vacations. I loved visiting her, and I especially liked being in the kitchen while she was baking. There was one very good reason for that: I was usually…
