One of the best things about America’s melting pot of culture is that we can experience so many different cultures’ foods. But while we have fast food knock-offs of practically every international cuisine, it’s much better to try the homemade versions.
Restaurants and fast food just can’t capture the true essence of a culture the way a homemade recipe does. That’s why we’re lucky to work with many bloggers who provide RecipeLion.com with seriously amazing international recipes.
German recipes are among the most popular on our site, thanks largely to Gerhild from Quick German Recipes. (Thanks for sharing, Gerhild!) She shares many of her mother’s recipes from the old country, and preserves culinary history every day! One of our most popular German recipes ever is hosted right here on RecipeChatter: German Cucumber Salad.
Give some of this global cuisine a try, and expand your food experience with our collection of recipes from Germany. We easy German desserts, slow cooker dishes, and more!

Hi Kathy, We have a wide variety of free eCookbooks across our sites. Just browse through them to find the ones you like! 🙂
Glease, but I like bitock also.
I am so thrilled to find a source for German recipe’s! I married a man of German parentage plus, my eldest grandchild, a boy, majored in German and loves “everything German” and is starting to play chef himself! Would love to have the recipes! Thank you!
I am looking for a recipe that is for marinated pork steak or fatty pork chops that we were able to get at a German meat dept. of a local grocery store in Ramstein Village. It was called Schweinbraten and we cooked on the grill. It was the pork and it was marinated in onions, vinegar, peppercorn and something else but have not been able to find the recipe in any cookbooks with German food recipes. If someone knows of this recipe I would greatly appreciate getting the direction so I can cook here in the states.
We were stationed in Germany for 4 yrs and would love to have this recipe. Thank you very much.

Debone pork, cut into 1/2 inch steaks. Mix white pepper, nutmeg, coriander, paprika, marjoram and salt.
Mince garlic and onions. Sprinkle a large pan with seasoning. Sprinkle some salt over onions to make juice come out before starting marinade.
On top of seasoning put one layer of meat, add more seasoning, onions, garlic and salt. Repeat until all meat is used, ending with seasoning and onions.
