German Recipes
Collection of traditional recipes from the German speaking regions of Europe –
Contributors wanted.
The Canberra German-speakers' Network (CGN), as a cooperative project, would like to start a collection of traditional recipes to showcase the culinary breadth and diversity of the German-speaking regions. The aim is to publish the recipes in a multimedia format non-commercially for distribution to the wider Australian community.
What we need are your favourite family recipes. What about your grandmother's Käsekuchen, your auntie's Sauerbraten, or your father's Glühwein recipe? We invite you to share your best cooking secrets with the rest of the community. We would very much appreciate your contribution to this exciting project.
To assist with your contribution we have prepared a template that sets out the headings and to make it easier for you to write up. The template is available at Das Zentrum or alternatively give us a call on 6230 0441 and we will post it to you.
