"Culinaria Germany" is a great resource for anybody interested in German food. However don't expect just an ordinary recipe collection. This book is much more than that.
The authors divided the book in 16 chapters- one for each of the 16 German states. Every chapter explores the food history and
The authors also do a great job explaining different main ingredients, thus making it a delight for beginning as well as experienced cooks.

Overall a great addition for your cookbook collection.
