- Here are some German recipes from the Hessian area (Hessen being one of
- the federal states of Germany.). I found those dishes on some sheets
- that were used as separators when a copy shop returned my printing order
- for a science fiction fanzine I'm publishing.
-
- I think they shouldn't be ignored and cast away, so I translated them.
- But beware, I never tried one of them, as I do not like the German
- cuisine at all. (I'm a fan of Chinese, Italian and Indian cooking!)
- But as far as I noticed those recipes should be novelties on the net.
-
- Unfortunately they lacked the cooking temperatures, and sometimes exact
- measurements, so you have to rely on feeling and how other dishes
- similar to the ones mentioned are cooked. I hope that doesn't spoil
- your enthusiasm...
