For too long a cuisine undervalued against those other European stalwarts – French and Italian – it is time to put German food into the spotlight! Classic German food is ridiculously delicious and super easy to prepare – from slow-cooked roasts to hearty salads, tasty snacks, enriched breads and moreish desserts – it has it all.

Hotdogs, burgers, pretzels, rye bread and beer – and just some of the hugely popular foods that had their origins in Germany. Even if you think you have no knowledge of German food – you would be surprised about how influential this cuisine has been throughout history.
