Oma’s Oktoberfest Cookbook: 27 German Recipes for Your Own Oktoberfest
by: Gerhild Fulson / Oma Gerhild shares German recipes rooted in family tradition.
You don’t need a ticket to Munich to enjoy Oktoberfest food. Give me a kitchen, a good pretzel, some bratwurst, and a bowl of potato salad, and we’re already off to a very good start.
My Oktoberfest cookbook brings together 27 German recipes for creating your own Oktoberfest feast at home, whether you’re feeding a houseful of family and friends or simply craving a plate of familiar German favorites.
Oktoberfest is about more than beer and lederhosen. It’s the food that brings everyone to the table.
Bring Oktoberfest Home
Inside, you’ll find the dishes you’d expect to see at a German Oktoberfest celebration, from pretzels and Bavarian beer cheese dip to schnitzel, roast chicken, cheesy egg noodles, and apple strudel.
Make a whole Oktoberfest menu or pick a few favorites for an easy German dinner.
Inside you’ll find:
- Appetizers including pretzels and pretzel rolls (brezeln und laugenbrötchen) and Bavarian beer cheese dip (obatzda)
- German salads including potato salad (kartoffelsalat), cabbage salad, radish salad, and sauerkraut salad
- Traditional soups such as pancake soup and liver dumpling soup
- Oktoberfest favorites including bratwurst and sauerkraut, schnitzel with mushroom sauce, roasted pork knuckles, and roast chicken
- Hearty sides including fried potatoes, potato pancakes, cheesy egg noodles, bread dumplings, red cabbage, and sauerkraut

That sounds like Oktoberfest to me.
From Oma Gerhild’s Kitchen
German food has always been about more than what’s on the plate. It’s family gathered around the table, recipes passed from one generation to another, and those familiar flavors that can take you right back home.
That’s what I wanted to capture in this cookbook.
Some of these dishes may bring back memories of Oktoberfest celebrations. Others may remind you of something your Mutti or Oma used to make. And if Oktoberfest cooking is completely new to you, I’ll help make it easy.
Choose your favorite format and come celebrate Oktoberfest with me.
Pass the pretzels.
Save room for strudel.
Oktoberfest is served.
Tschüss!
