Discover the rich and flavorful world of traditional German cuisine, just like Oma used to cook. Join me on a cooking journey that brings the heartwarming taste of Germany to your kitchen, regardless of where you call home.
When we immigrated to Canada in the 1950s, Mutti had to experiment in the kitchen using ingredients that were foreign to her to try to capture the flavors of the food she grew up with. Thankfully, her creativity and inventiveness won out. She succeeded in duplicating those authentic German meals, and I also grew up with German food in my blood!
You, too, can re-create traditional German food, no matter where you live in the world. Using local ingredients can be a bit of a challenge, but German food is actually not that difficult to replicate, especially when you have an Oma at your side.
Let me be that Oma. Through this cookbook, I’ll teach you my secrets to preparing traditional German food that is easy, quick, and delicious. You’ll find plenty of easy recipes, from salads and soups to meats and side dishes to sweet treats.
Choose from 17 traditional German salad recipes, including this green bean salad.
Whether you start with a traditional salad, as shown above, or with a soup, as shown below, you'll find plenty of options in this cookbook.
Staying with the green bean theme, you'll find eight traditional German, easy-to-make soups.
You'll find each recipe has a special section, “Oma's Ecke” (Grandma's Corner), that's filled with tips and hints for that recipe, including ideas that you can use in other recipes as well.
And to make it easier for everyone, I’ve adjusted these recipes to also include standard US measurements instead of weighing the ingredients, which is the norm in Germany. Yes, weighing is more accurate, especially in baking; however, I think you’ll find the recipes included here work just as well when made with cups and measuring spoons.
“Oma's Ecke” gives extra tips and hints to help with all your cooking.You'll find sections for Salads, Soups, Meats, Side Dishes, and Sweet Treats. There are plenty of choices to make those mouthwatering meals you recall from your Oma or your travels to Germany.
Choose from over a dozen meat entrées, including traditional Schnitzel, German-style.
So, what do you say? Let’s get cooking and create these foods to pass on to your family, just like my Mutti did for hers.
Each of these wunderbar recipes has a full-color photo and is filled with tips and tricks, right from my kitchen. I've even added special red and yellow icons on those recipes that have major differences in northern and southern Germany.
Here’s your chance to get Cooking Just Like Oma for yourself and for everyone on your gift-giving list! Pass on your German culture to your children and grandchildren. Share your love for German cooking with your friends and neighbors.

What others are saying about Oma's cookbooks
To those who don’t know Gerhild, she’s the Oma who put German cuisine on the map with her highly popular website, justlikeoma.com. Oma dispelled, with great skill, my stereotypical view of beige-y sauce over beige-y sausage with beige-y sauerkraut and beige-y potatoes and finally - beige-y taste. I thought all German cuisine was the same - sausage. Boy was I wrong. Beautifully photographed, Oma’s recipes taste as scrumptious as they look. Look out France, Spain and Italy. A new major European cuisine is about to give you a run for our palates!

As a German-American that is a bit culinarily challenged, this book is a true blessing! What makes this book extra wonderful is that the recipes are separated by region. German food is more complex than bratwurst, sauerkraut and pretzels! This classic cookbook has not only a variety of different recipes, but also key notes to help even those with little experience in the kitchen learn to make excellent German cuisine.

I have followed Gerhild’s recipes for many years. Her recipes are similar to the ones I grew up eating from my German heritage. I have found her recipes to be authentic and easy to understand. In Gerhild’s book, German Meals at Oma’s, I like how she divided the recipes by regions of Germany. I also love her pictures and little tips given about the recipes. These are great for the readers! I recommend this book for all cooks; beginners and experienced.

This comprehensive cookbook brings back so many treasured food memories from my childhood. My German “Mutti” and her mom, my Oma, both long gone, were such great cooks, but their recipes were never written down. Gerhild Fulson’s expansive recipe collection will help people of my generation with their “lost” recipes and it will introduce new generations to German specialties that are both delicious and a part of Germany’s rich culinary culture.

Many German recipes use ingredients only available in Germany. Since I don't live in Germany, having access to these isn’t always easy. So, I experimented with my Mutti’s recipes (many came from her hand-written notes) and made them with ingredients easily purchased at my local Canadian grocery store.
