Oma's German Dinners eCookbook
The best ingredients, simply put together with love, create dishes that Oma would serve her family and guests. Sometimes simple is best.
These are traditional German meals. Nothing fancy. Home cooking at its finest. Classic dinners that often revolve around meat and potatoes... with gravy, of course!
Sometimes, depending upon the region, spätzle or bread dumplings replace the potatoes. Other times, eggs replace the meat. But nothing replaces the comfort level these dinners bring to the table.
Follow with any of the traditional dinner combinations I’ve included. You’ll see that I often mix and match side dishes. I encourage you to do the same. After all, red cabbage fits to pork hocks just as much as sauerkraut. Bratkartoffeln and schnitzel? YUM!
Enjoy the pairings I’ve included and then see what combinations become your favorites.
Here's what you'll cook & bake with my help:
- Karotten-Apfel Salat (Carrot & Apple Salad)
- Krautsalat (Cabbage Salad)
- Radieschensalat (Radish Salad)
- Sauerkrautsalat (Sauerkraut Salad)
- Flädlesuppe (Pancake Soup)
- Leberknödelsuppe (Liver Dumpling Soup)
- Senfeier, Spinat und Kartoffeln (Eggs with Mustard Sauce, Creamed Spinach, and Potatoes)
- Frikadellen und Bratkartoffeln (Hamburgers and Fried Potatoes)
- Schnitzel und Kartoffelsalat (Schnitzel and Southern German Potato Salad)
- Gulasch und Spätzle (Goulash and Homemade Egg Noodles)
- Hähnchenrouladen und Bäckerkartoffeln (Chicken Cordon Bleu and Scalloped Potatoes
- Sauerbraten, Semmelknödel & grüne Bohnen (Marinated Beef, Bread Dumplings and Creamed Green Beans)
- Schweinshaxn und Sauerkraut (Roasted Pork Hocks and Sauerkraut)
- Rouladen, Kartoffelklösse und Rotkohl (Beef Rolls, Red Cabbage, and Potato Dumplings)
- Obsttorte (Fruit Flan)
- Apfelstrudel (Apple Strudel)
- Eiskaffee (Ice Coffee)
I give extra hints and let you know for each dinner, the order of making multiple dishes so they are ready at the same time.
There aren’t any fancy methods or difficult procedures. Just follow the steps, one at a time, and you too will be serving those mouth-watering dinners that bring “oohs” and “aahs” from your family and friends.
Since this eCookbook is immediately downloadable, you'll be able to start cooking and baking right away!

Oma's German Dinners eCookbook
$30.00
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.

Hi, I'm Oma Gerhild! As a food writer and cookbook author, I'm always looking to find ways to pass on my German heritage using local ingredients. Quick and easy. That's my goal. Wunderbar food. That's the result.
What others are saying about Oma's cookbooks
As a German-American that is a bit culinarily challenged, this book is a true blessing...
This classic cookbook (German Meals at Oma's) 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.

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!

"Wunderbar! A must-have book for every household, and a mouth-watering walk down memory lane for me. I will forever cherish my copy of "Quick Fix Soups", Gerhild.
These many jewels of good old-fashioned frugal recipes, all wrapped in beautiful photographs and sprinkled with time-tested "Oma says" advice, brings back fond memories of my childhood overseas.
Many of your pearls of wisdom are the very same secrets of our success for consistently eating healthy, minimizing time in the kitchen, cutting food waste, and keeping our grocery bill below $150 a month. But, I gleaned many new and ingenious ideas from you, too.
Thank you, Gerhild, for pulling it all together into this fantastic gem of a book and extremely handy recipe cards so my family can refer to them again and again for years to come."

Love your e-book and especially those "Oma says". My favorite one was the one where you tried to hide the onions in the soup because your husband doesn't like them. I had a good laugh over that one.
It reminded me of when my mother tried to hide garlic in all the cooking, but my father always knew she did. He hated garlic! What a charming and warm cookbook.
Makes one feel young again and at home in the kitchen with their Mutti and Oma. Thank you, Gerhild, for making this book for us. You know, I am so glad I looked up your website. Now, I have something else to look forward to."

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.

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.
Erika Neumayer Ehrat, Owner & designer of Rare Dirndl, raredirndl.com
Gerhild takes us on a culinary journey across Germany through her thoughtful selection of regional dishes, with helpful tips and anecdotes along the way. Written with heart and expertise, Gerhild captures the essence of traditional German food culture in a way that will elicit an enthusiastic “Guten Appetit!"

Across media platforms, Just Like Oma is celebrated for making German cooking simple, fast, and fun for everyone!
