Homemade Quark

Homemade Quark

This is a German favorite I use in baking, spreads, & more. Thankfully it's easy to make since I can't buy it here. Quark is hard to find outside of Europe, but thankfully it’s easy (and cheap) to make at home. I’ll show you two simple methods I use and once you try it, you’ll see why I always try to keep some on hand. There are so many tasty ways to use it!
Fried Potatoes

Bratkartoffeln (Fried Potatoes)

These are a traditional favorite that's quick, easy, and irresistibly crispy. Perfect for any meal!​ Mutti had several German fried potatoes recipes that she used to make. They were all variations on the one listed here. Each slightly different. All delicious!
Johannes Gutenberg

Famous Germans

From famous musicians and poets to kings and queens, Germany was the home to so many inspirational and entertaining folk. Let's learn about the famous Germans in history.
Building Quick German Recipes

How I Built My Recipe Website – And Why It Changed Everything

If you’ve ever wondered how a little recipe collection turned into Quick German Recipes and eventually Just Like Oma, let me take you back to where it all started. The real story: it wasn’t just about food ... it was about faith, family, and finding a way to share love across the world.
Obatzda

Obatzda: Beer Cheese Dip

Smoky, creamy Obatzda-style dip with Camembert and beer. A bold twist on Bavarian beer cheese—perfect with pretzels or for Oktoberfest. I'll show you how to make this easy dip that's so full of flavor.

Fruit Flan (Obsttorte)

Obsttorte (Fruit Flan)

Here's a delicious and easy German fruit flan, known as obsttorte, that's perfect for summer gatherings or as a refreshing side dish. It really is quick ... just one hour from start to finish. Mix the batter in one bowl, bake it in a flan pan, and then have fun getting creative with the fruit. This obsttorte is ratze fatze (easy peasy) and so wunderbar to serve. Every time I make it, I fill it differently ... and it's always delicious.
Ich Liebe Dich Mug

Ich Liebe Dich Mug

Express your love with this beautifully designed white ceramic mug. Featuring the phrase "Ich liebe dich" (I love you), this mug is adorned with a charming blend of black and gold hearts. The glossy finish adds a luxurious touch, making it an ideal gift for special occasions like anniversaries, Valentine’s Day, or any moment you want to show someone how much you care. Its durability ensures that it will remain a cherished item for years to come.
Castles in Frankfurt

Discover Castles Near Frankfurt

Welcome to Frankfurt! Located in the state of Hesse, Frankfurt is breathtaking. The largest and most popular city in the entire state, and its castles near or far do not disappoint. Frankfurt is surrounded by additional large cities that display beautiful castles as well. Many of Frankfurt's castles lie outside the city rather than in the heart of it. This city is jam-packed with entertainment, activities, bustling shops, and authentic restaurants. It's the perfect stop for tourists and travelers.
Currywurst sauce

Currywurst

This authentic currywurst recipe is so quick and easy to make. And so delicious! If you've ever been to Germany, then you probably already know that currywurst is the ultimate German street food. Currywurst is a German name for curry sausage. Although currywurst is not really a type of sausage, but a fast food dish made with sliced German bratwurst topped with a flavorful curry-tomato sauce and served with French fries.
German Flora & Fauna

German Flora & Fauna

Hello travelers! It's high time we looked at the beautiful natural plants and animals in Germany, from the tiniest mushrooms to the national flowers and birds. Let's go for a walk together through the woods and see what we can see in Germany's 16 federal states. I look forward to seeing nature on every trip that I go on. During our time in Germany, I loved seeing the beautiful wildflowers I never get to see in Canada.
Holidays

Holidays and Customs

Ahh, the holidays. There's nothing quite like them. A time for dancing and singing, whether it be "We wish you a Merry Christmas, or "Happy Birthday to You!"; there's always jolly fun to be had. To accompany the fun sing-alongs are tasty foods.
Meatballs

German Meatballs

Today, I'm sharing one of my all-time favorite dishes: Königsberger Klopse. This isn't just any meatball recipe, oh no. This is the time-honored classic German dish that takes me right back to my Mutti's kitchen.
Cucumber Salad

Süddeutscher Gurkensalat (Southern German Cucumber Salad)

This is one of my go-to sides. Light, tangy, and always so refreshing with any meal. This recipe is a great way to use up those cucumbers that have been sitting in your crisper. Put them to use in this lovely picnic salad!
