More about Elindreki

This blog is about my personal little encounters with food - while living in the US, I encountered many people very interested in traditional german cooking, mostly because of some part of the family tree being german, because grandma used to make this special potato salad, or because having spent a vacation or even more time in Europe and gotten to know some lovely specialties...
After being back in Germany for a while, I realized that I've learned a lot about traditions here while being away - and started becoming even more curious and inquisitive. As time permits, I try to share what I've learnt. Enjoy cooking!

Elin's german cookbook

Here are, roughly organized in themes/subcategories, all the posts about more or less traditional german dishes - there are more to come at some point, previously found on elindreki.com, which site I discontinued, primarily for lack of time for maintenance.
I have just spent a few years back in germany now, exploring the locally grown vegetables, and what one would have done originally, as well as could do alternatively with them - thus, little by little, this cookbook will grow again.
