American Traditions: German Baking for the Holidays

This cookbook is comprised of some of our family’s favorite German cookies and cake recipes. Having lived in Germany for four years as a child myself, I have tried to pass on the love of the country and its traditions to my family. My children are the fourth-generation born in the U.S.A. and have all fully embraced their German heritage.
We would like to share these delicious favorites with you in the hopes that you will enjoy them as much as our family. While many of them are described as Christmastime treats, don’t be afraid to enjoy them year round!

Please note that I do not claim these recipes are 'authentic'. Rather, they are streamlined creations that evoke the feeling of German, Bavarian, and Swiss recipes.
