Dear List members, There have been a few queries on the mailing lists lately asking for recipes for the traditional DS cooking. Lothar Renard in Germany, author of the Triebswetter family book, sent me the following announcement of a new cookbook with recipes for Banat specialties, "Nostalgia for Grandma's Kitchen". So, I am sharing the announcement. I included a description of the book in English and German. The book is in German, and can be ordered directly from the publisher, whose email is below. For more information, or questions about ordering, please contact the publisher. --Karen Preston The long-awaited Danube Swabian cooking and baking book is now available! Many of us have grown-up as children with Danube Swabian cuisine. Almost everyone knows the name of a Danube Swabian dish he loved to eat because Grandma cooked so well. Unfortunately, when Grandma died, these recipes were often lost or forgotten. Due to the oral tradition of these old recipes, precise quantities were missing. Grandma didn't measure exact amounts of lard, eggs and flour. But, very precise information for these recipes can be found in the book "Heimweh nach Omas Küche" ("Nostalgia for Grandma's Kitchen"), edited by Dipl. Ing. Oswald Hartmann. In this small booklet of 160 pages can be found typical Banat soups and recipes like homemade noodles, "Zwetschgenknödel" (plum dumplings), "Letscho" (a rich pepper stew), main dishes such as stuffed peppers, "Krautwickel" (stuffed cabbage), "Paprikasch" and many other entrees. Recipes for sauces and side dishes are included, too. About half of the pages are devoted to the delicious desserts and cakes of the Banat. There are recipes for "Kipfeln", "Krapfen" (donuts), "Sekitscher Mohnschnitte" (poppy seed cake), several kinds of strudel, "Käsebogatsche", and of course, the recipe for the famous "Cremeschnitte (cream cake). Of course torte recipes are not missing. The book ends with special recipes for meals during the "Schweineschlachten" (hog slaughter), and for making fruit bread, walnut liqueur, coffee liqueur and other delicious things. The book "Nostalgia for Grandma's Kitchen" is informative and is one of many to bring the old recipes back to us. It can be ordered from Oswald Hartmann Publisher: oswald.hartmann@t-online.de The price of the book is 12.80 euros (plus shipping costs) - Please note that the price of the book, shipping and money transfer fees must all be prepaid with order before the book is shipped ++++++++++ Das langerwartete donauschwäbische Koch- und Backbuch ist nun lieferbar ! Viele von uns sind als Kinder mit donauschwäbischer Küche groß geworden. Fast jeder von kennt noch den Namen einer donauschwäbischen Speise die er gerne gegessen hat weil Oma sehr gut kochte. Leider sind die Rezepte nach Omas Tod vielfach in Vergessenheit geraten. Auf Grund der mündlichen Überlieferung der alten Rezepte fehltenbei Oma aber meist genaue Mengenangaben. Oma hat es nicht so genau genommen mit Schweineschmalz, Eiern und Mehl. Sehr genaue Angaben zu den Rezepten finden sich aber in dem Buch „Heimweh nach Omas Küche“, herausgegeben von Dipl. Ing. Oswald Hartmann. In dem kleinen Büchlein findet man auf 160 Seiten neben typisch banater Suppen auch Rezepte wie „hausgemachte Nudeln“, „Zwetschgenknödel“, Letscho“, Hauptgerichte wie „Gefüllte Paprika“, „Krautwickel, „Paprikasch“ und viele andere Hauptgerichte. Saucen- und Beilagenrezepte sind natürlich auch vorhanden. Etwa die Hälfte der Buchseiten sind den leckeren Banater Nachspeisen und Kuchen. Da gibt es Rezepte für „Kipfeln“, „Krapfen“, „Sekitscher Mohnschnitte“, diverse „Strudel“, „Käsebogatsche“ und natürlich das Rezept für die berühmte „Cremeschnitte“. Tortenrezepte fehlen natürlich auch nicht. Das Buch endet mit besonderen Rezepten für die Mahlzeiten beim Schweineschlachten, der Herstellung von Früchtebrot, Nusslikör, Kaffeelikör und anderen leckeren Sachen. Das Buch „Heimweh nach Omas Küche“ ist informativ und wird manch einen von uns wieder auf den richtigen Rezepte-Pfad bringen. Es kann bestellt werden beim Oswald Hartmann-Verlag: oswald.hartmann@t-online Das Buch kostet EUR 12,80 (zuzüglich Versandkosten)
