Oma Gerhild

Hi, I’m Oma Gerhild, and I’ll teach you how to make the traditional German food you love, but quick & easy ... and just as delicious!

Whether you're craving schnitzel, rouladen, potato salad, or Black Forest cake, you'll find easy-to-follow recipes that bring the taste of Germany to your table.

You don't have to be a trained chef or a master baker, in fact...

... if you can stir a pot, measure some ingredients, or open the oven door, you can make these recipes.

I’ve taken the classic German dishes I grew up with and simplified them so anyone can bring that same delicious flavor to the table.

Whether it’s schnitzel or strudel, I’ll walk you through it, step by step — just like Mutti (my mother) did for me.


I always say, cooking doesn’t have to be fussy to be fabulous.

My recipes skip the hard-to-find ingredients and the complicated steps. Instead, you’ll find tried-and-true favorites that work in real kitchens — yours and mine!

You’ll be amazed at how easy it is to make something that tastes just like Oma’s.


This quick Bienenstich recipe is one of my absolute favorites.

And it’s become a favorite for so many of you, too! It has all the rich, creamy, almond-topped goodness of the traditional version, but skips the yeast and long rise times that can make the classic tricky.

In fact, it’s so reliable and delicious that one café near London, UK serves this very recipe to its guests — and they love it!

Give it a try — you’ll be amazed at how easily you can create something this wonderful and delicious right in your own kitchen.
