Janosch is the famous author of the stories about the little Tiger and the little Bear. I got cookie cutters in the shape of the tiger, the bear, the rabbit with the fast shoes, the wide-mouth frog and the tigerduck from my mother, a present for St. Niklaas. This is the first recipe of two, the other is Recipe #271116
I have a friend in Duxbury, MA, who used to describe herself as the “hamburger queen.” This recipe was concocted for her to show her that ground meat can not only be truly tasty, but also elegant, exotic and fit for company… This recipe is Bohemian in origin. You may substitute commercial puff pastry, if desired, although it will change the texture and make the results much heavier. Fussing with the phyllo is worth the time and effort.
Grandma keeps her Wiener schnitzel recipe a closely guarded secret. Unfortunately for her, it’s not that hard to figure out. Anyway, it’s a really easy and delicious way to prepare chicken or turkey breasts, or even the traditional veal. My husband demands I make it more than I can stand eating it.
Just what the name implies – these are German-style potato dumplings, as found everywhere in the South of Germany, Austria and Bohemia. These are traditionally served with any roast with gravy, but most well-known as an accompaniment for a hearty Sauerbraten and red cabbage. Like polenta, second-day leftovers are a treat when sliced into slabs and fried in butter.
