Henriette Davidis (1801-1876) is regarded as the most famous cookbook author in Germany. While writing her books, Davidis worked as a home economics teacher, educator, and governess, later focusing solely on her writing. In the present volume "Practical Cookbook for Germans in America," she presents reliable and self-tested recipes for preparing a wide variety of dishes and beverages, as well as for baking and preserving food. This edition has been expanded and improved by including recipes for foods and baked goods commonly found in America, converting German measurements to American units, and adding a menu for the sick. Illustrated with numerous images and plates. This is a reprint of the original edition (2nd American edition) from 1897.
