A culinary travel adventure to Northern Germany!

This unique travel cook book leads the reader, from the Belgian to the Polish border, to old Roman cities like Cologne and Xanten, the German capital Berlin, the Ruhrgebiet and Bergische Land, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt and Warnemünde on the Baltic Sea, the Ahr and Mosel river valleys and the Eifel hills in Northern Germany.

The travel guide satisfies the reader's curiosity about history, culture and things to do, whereas the local ethnic recipes satisfy the chef's curiosity about German traditional home cooking. Each chapter brings together colorful pictures, a travel story and a full menu with appetizer, soup and salad, entree, side dishes and dessert, paired with a beverage recommendation, and additional recipes of the featured area.

It's hard to say if this is a travel guide with 140 pages of traditional German home cooking recipes, or a very unusual cookbook, presenting 12 great menus paired with beverages, combined with an unconventional travel guide to 12 locations in the Northern part of Germany. Additional chapters feature ingredients, shopping tips, Internet references, and an extensive index.
