Remember those wonderful meals Mutti used to make? The rouladen, schnitzel, potato dumplings, and all those delicious sides that made even an ordinary dinner feel special?
That's what Cooking Just Like Oma has always been about. Bringing those traditional German recipes into today's kitchens, without making things complicated.






Now, I've taken the original cookbook, added 25% more recipes, included new German meal ideas, and given everything a fresh, full-color look.
And there's something extra special for those who want to preserve their own family recipes, too...


Some of our most treasured recipes were never written down properly. They were passed along with a little of this, a handful of that, and instructions like "cook until it's done."
Sound familiar?
That's one reason I love the Keepsake Journal Edition.
Along with all the recipes in More Cooking Just Like Oma, there's room to make this cookbook truly your own.
You can add Mutti's special touches, record the little changes you've made over the years, and preserve recipes that might otherwise be forgotten.
And perhaps one day, someone in your family will be cooking from your notes, just as you're cooking from mine.
I've always believed that traditional German cooking doesn't need to be difficult.
Some recipes I've kept close to the way Mutti made them. Others I've simplified over the years, using ingredients that are easier to find and methods that work in today's busy kitchens.
And because knowing what to serve together can be half the challenge, I've added something I think you'll really enjoy...
Ever make rouladen and then wonder which potatoes, vegetables, or salad should go alongside?
I've included new meal ideas that show you how to put together complete German dinners.

From everyday family suppers to meals for special occasions, you'll find suggestions for pairing main dishes, sides, salads, and desserts.
No more wondering what goes with what. You can plan a whole meal, or simply pick a recipe that catches your eye.
Whether you're rediscovering recipes from your childhood or cooking German food for the first time, this cookbook is designed to help.
Inside you'll find:
You'll find favorites such as sauerbraten, rouladen, schnitzel with hunter's sauce, spätzle, red cabbage, and potato dumplings.
These are the dishes I grew up loving, and the ones I'm delighted to share with you.
And here's a little extra from me to you!
When you purchase More Cooking Just Like Oma through my Just Like Oma Shop, you'll receive the ebook edition at no additional cost.

It arrives by email after checkout, so you can start looking through the recipes while your printed cookbook is being made and shipped.
Keep the printed book in your kitchen and the ebook on your tablet, phone, or computer.
Two handy ways to enjoy the same recipes, with no extra charge for the ebook!
There are several ways to enjoy More Cooking Just Like Oma. Choose the edition that suits the way you cook.

The full-color cookbook with additional pages for family recipes, notes, coloring, and memories. A lovely choice for anyone who wants to create a cookbook to pass along.
All the recipes, photos, tips, and new meal ideas in a practical spiral-bound format that stays open while you cook.
Perfect for everyday use in a busy kitchen.
Prefer cooking from your tablet, phone, or computer?
The ebook edition gives you all the recipes, photos, tips, and meal ideas in a convenient digital format. No waiting for shipping, and you can take your cookbook wherever you go.
Perfect for keeping your favorite German recipes close at hand.
Prefer ordering through Amazon?
The paperback edition contains the cookbook's recipes and cooking guidance, printed on standard paper rather than the premium paper used for the spiral-bound editions.
It's a convenient option for international customers or those who prefer to order through Amazon.
If you're anything like me, you don't want to wrestle with a cookbook that keeps closing just when your hands are covered in flour.
That's why I particularly like the spiral-bound editions. They stay open on the counter, making it easy to follow a recipe while you're cooking.
The regular spiral-bound edition is a practical choice for everyday use.
But if you love jotting down family cooking secrets, making little changes, or preserving recipes from one generation to the next, I'd choose the Keepsake Journal Edition.
It gives you the recipes I've collected and shared, with room for your family's recipes, too.


Whether you're making the dishes you remember from childhood or introducing them to a new generation, I hope this cookbook becomes one you reach for again and again.
And perhaps, somewhere along the way, you'll add a few family favorites of your own.
That's what cooking Just Like Oma is all about.
And don't forget, purchases through my Just Like Oma Shop include the ebook at no additional cost.
Happy cooking!
