German Cooking from other "Gerhilds"

Oma Gerhild

by: Gerhild Fulson  /  Cookbook Author, Blogger, German Oma!

Below are German cooking recipes by other Gerhilds from around the world. They are authentic German recipes by some really special people!

Gerhild FulsonThat's me ... Oma Gerhild!

My name is Gerhild. It's German. It means "warrior maiden with a spear." And there aren't that many of us "warrior maidens" running around!

Since I grew up in Canada since a toddler, I didn't know it was an unusual name.

I just thought it was a regular German name. A bit difficult for English-speaking people to get to know, but most gave it a good attempt.

It was what I was called - no nick-name - just, "Gerhild".

Not until I was much older did I realize that even in Germany, it's not common. Not common at all. Traveling to Germany the past couple of years, I've realized how uncommon it really is.

In August, 2011, I had a request on my Facebook page to become a friend of another Gerhild. WHAT? More Gerhilds. Really?

I think there are very few people around who can tell what a strange feeling that was. To see my name on another person. It's a feeling that probably only a few people have. 'Tis strange, but to my astonishment, so far, already about 44 Gerhilds (Update: only 55 by October 2012) (Update: only 56 by January 2017!) have been entered into this new group, the Gerhild Group on Facebook. And most say the same thing. "I've never met another Gerhild," or "I've only met one other Gerhild in my entire life."

One of my new Gerhild friends sent me a recipe right away. One that fits so perfectly on this website about German cooking. That cinched it. I needed a page that has only recipes by Gerhild. Gerhilds from around the world, because who knows how many of us are out there, and I'm sure, are around the world. So, if you're a "Gerhild", this page is for you!

They may be authentic German recipes or not. Perhaps it common German food or not. Perhaps it's something foreign that you've made German by adding that special German twist to something. I've done that with many recipes.
