Now that I’ve decided to start collecting recipes for foods from German-speaking countries, I thought I may as well keep track of them here! I’ll update the list of dishes to try as I come across them. I’ll also link to posts I write about the dishes I try, where I’ll include the recipe and pictures. Guten Appetit!!
