Gerhild Fulson – A Passion for German Recipes
Willkommen to Just Like Oma
Oma Gerhild FulsonI’m Gerhild Fulson—German-born, Canadian-raised, cookbook author, food critic, and proud Oma. I'm passionate about sharing traditional, authentic German recipes in English so you can enjoy real German home cooking, just like Mutti used to make.
For over a decade, this site has been helping home cooks recreate the comforting flavors of rinderrouladen, käsespätzle, kartoffelsuppe, and more, with easy-to-follow directions and ingredients you can actually find. But Just Like Oma is far more than just me—it's a true family affair.
Our Family Team
The Fulson Team (L-R): Eran, Gerhild, Lydia, Sylvie, Mike
Lydia Fulson – Recipe Assistant & Creative Contributor
Lydia, my granddaughter, brings a youthful touch to our traditional recipes. She tests dishes, styles food, takes photos, and helps with writing and social media. Her love for our German heritage and her fresh ideas help us reach the next generation of home cooks.
Eran Fulson – Social Media, Shop Director & Writer
Eran, my son, wears many hats. He helps keep things running smoothly behind the scenes—managing our social media, connecting with our community and content strategist. He also manages our online shop, where the German-themed items are designed by him (with Mike lending his creative touch too). Eran also runs our sister site, Tour My Germany, helping travelers discover the best of Germany. It's a real family effort!
Mike Fulson – Technical Director & Creative Lead
Mike, my son, is the one who makes sure everything on the site works the way it should. From behind-the-scenes tech and design to updates and security, he’s our go-to problem solver. But he’s also incredibly creative—he handles all the layout and design work for my cookbooks, helps write and shape content, and even contributes to product design for our shop. He’s the perfect mix of technical know-how and artistic flair.
Sylvie Fulson – Vegan Recipe Developer & Editor
Sylvie, my daughter-in-law (Mike’s wife), is the heart behind our growing collection of vegan German recipes. From plant-based kartoffelsuppe to creamy pilzcremesuppe, she creates delicious alternatives that remain true to German flavor. She’s also my trusted book editor and a key writer on the site.
Why Trust Our Recipes?
We’re a multi-generational team committed to preserving authentic German food traditions while making them accessible for today’s cooks—whether you eat meat, follow a plant-based lifestyle, or are just starting to explore your German roots.
Together, we test, photograph, and share everything from schnitzel to rotkohl to vegan linsentopf mit lauch. You’ll find traditional comfort foods, regional specialties, and seasonal favorites—always with clear instructions and tips from our family’s own kitchens.
Faith, Food, and Our Family Mission
Our faith is the foundation of everything we do. My husband Andy (Rev. Andy Fulson—also known as Pastor Wolle) and I have ministered together in Germany, teaching in small house groups and churches. What began as a local ministry grew into something we never expected.
Today, through our Gottes Wort Facebook page—with over 180,000 followers—and our Gottes Wort website, we’re reaching German-speaking believers around the world. That connection opened doors to expand into other languages with A Palavra de Deus in Portuguese and God’s Word for Today in English.
To help fund these ministry efforts, I started Just Like Oma and Tour My Germany, with all profits going back into the mission. Sharing God’s Word and sharing food have always gone hand in hand for me—it’s all about bringing people together with love, comfort, and hope.
From Our Kitchen to Yours
From our family to yours, thank you for stopping by and letting us be a part of your kitchen. Whether you're here to explore your German heritage, try something new for dinner, or just enjoy a bit of comfort food, we're so glad you're here.
It’s our joy to share not only our recipes, but also our heart, one that’s rooted in family, tradition, and faith. So grab your apron, invite someone you love to the table, and remember: the best meals are made with a little time, a lot of love, and maybe just a bit of butter. Guten Appetit!
Curious how it all started?
If you’d like to hear more about how this all began, and how my journey with German recipes turned into a full family-run business and ministry, here’s a video interview Solo Build It (SBI) did with me. I hope you enjoy it!
So from our family to yours—Guten Appetit und viel Freude beim Kochen!
