You are a wonderful cook and a delight to watch…..so calm and soothing. Thank you for your generosity in sharing your wisdom, expertise and German heritage!

I am German. This was an interesting video. I don't know "Überbackenen Blumenkohl" the same way. We usually just use the whole boiled cauliflower and put cheese on top and broil it and afterwards put some breadcrumbs (roasted in butter) over it. But this is an interesting version I am inclined to try. And of course in every region it might be prepared differently, so this might be a version that I am just not familiar with. For the Linsen (lentils) it is very common - in Germany - to add a splash of vinegar - so the balsamic vinegar might actually taste even better. So what you are doing is very authentic. German meatballs (called Frikadellen / Fleischpflanzerl / Buletten / Klopse / Fleischküchle .... all depending on the region, as you already mentioned, and there is probably even more names) are very common. In my version I would also add some garlic, salt, pepper, paprika powder and herbs like parsley, thyme, maybe some oregano, sage, tarragon - but that is all just preference). Usually they are more on the flat side than round. The Kohlrabi I have never had just alone, we usually have it as "Kohlrabi-Karotten Gemüse" (so added carrots). Do you know that version too, or have you ever tried? The way I know it it is also seasoned with salt, pepper, nutmeg, garlic and onion powder and of course - as you do also - topped with parsley 😃 So very German what you did. Maybe in some regions - or maybe it's a family thing - we do it a little bit different, but overall this is very authentic. I like that. I am always a little bit upset when I see "German meals" in the US, that are not really German. My compliments to you, this looks all very delicious and I would happily eat at your house! Not that I only eat German dishes, but in winter, with lots of snow and temperatures way in the two digit minus region - I am talking Celsius not Fahrenheit - these dishes are really warming and cozy and overall a comfort food! I know it doesn't get that cold in California, but still, thank you very much for showing some authentic German favorites! Not everything is just Schnitzel and Bratwurst 😂

Ach, schön dir beim Kochen zuzuschauen, aber noch schöner zu hören....Klopse, Fleischpflanzerl und Kohlrabi 😅 Ich freu mich , dich entdeckt zu haben und werde mal meinem Neffen deinen Kanal empfehlen. Er lebt in Virginia. Liebe Grüße aus good old Germany, Annette

Hi Anja, I can’t wait to watch this video. I am from the UK and I am learning to live a homesteading life. I am 24 and sadly no one my age understands why we love the homesteading life so I am on this journey alone. I wish I had a friendship with someone like you, so watching your videos brings me a lot of comfort. Thank you ❤ I have baked my first sourdough artisan loaf this week and it was beautiful, thank you for the tutorial

My dad used to prepare cauliflower like a Schnitzel with a Schnitzelstrasse of egg, flour and breadcrumbs. You break the cauliflower apart into smaller sections, coat like a Schnitzel and then fry it in a pan. It was one of my favorite childhood foods.

My German mum would call the mincemeat dish “Faschiertes”. Maybe because of my Viennese dad? Loved watching these dishes! They always bring back great memories.

I am from South Africa but an American now past 26 yrs and the minute you mentioned meat balls that some might say meat patty it hit me. It's frikkadels we called them back in south Africa and i forgot about it till now watching you. We even called a tv show with inspector derrik we used say frikkadel cause he always ate then in the show

I like that you cook without speaking and add dialogue after. I think it makes the video more engaging. Thank you

In my childhood, we called them Bratklops, as opposed to Kochklops. Very yummy! Ours were bigger and more flat than round. The Blumenkohl came with Schorf (that idea is kind of disgusting, but it tastes awesome), breadcrumbs browned in butter and seasoned.

I am from Belarus but live in California. I cook similar dishes. Like your videos very much.

Linsen und spaetzle ❤️ I am in London but originally from Germany. Now missing my mum’s cooking. Thank you for such a calm vlog 😘

Hi Anjali, This is the first time I have seen your channel. My mother’s maiden name is Onstott so she loved to cook German food when I was young. She was an excellent cook and baker. I am 72 now, so your cooking videos bring back memories of my wonderful mother. ❤ Thank you, everything looks delicious!

Ich finde das so toll, dass du unsere geliebte deutsche Hausmannskost den Amerikanern zu Gemüte führst. Habe dich erst kürzlich entdeckt und sofort abonniert! Liebe Grüße aus Tauberbischofsheim 🙋‍♀🌸

All these dishes look scrumptious. I would love to try these over the next few days. Thank you

I love the way you make your videos. Great channel!

I could almost taste these wonderful meals. Thanks for sharing your heritage dishes.

It all looks so good. Thank you!

All looked delicious!

I am so glad I found your cooking channel, it is like a breath of fresh air! I can’t wait to try these recipes, and thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!

Loved this video, I am certainly going to give them a try. Thank you so much for sharing. Always enjoy your voice overs, you have such a calming voice. Let's not forget the fur baby, such a delight.💙💙🤗🤗🐶🐶

Danka Anja! Another fabulous german recipe. I had forgotten about Linsensuppe, had not made it in years. I cooked it last night with some home smoked sausages and it was fantastic!!!!😊

Can't wait to try these dishes....Thanks for sharing! Have a blessed day.

Being of German decent, I know the love affair with the potato! 😉 Your meals look so yummy and I love how you describe what you are making and all of the steps. Thank you! ❤️

I so enjoyed this video. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing your meals, they look delicious! Always look forward to your videos!

❤ Love your cooking. I was told the dry paper of the onion gives broth a nice deep color so I tried it. It really does!! ❤

1. Cauliflower with ham & cheese sauce and boiled potatoes. 2. Lentil stew with noodles (spaetzle) and German weiners 3. German Meatballs (Frikadelle) with creamy kohlrabi & boiled potatoes.

I'm so happy to find you. I thoroughly enjoyed watching you cook. It all looked so good!! You seem like a lovely person!

Just came across your video and am new subscriber. I am binge watching your other videos also as you have wonderful content. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

Love your videos. Your recipes are amazing simple and healthy and that’s what I love. So happy to found you.

Hi, very glad to have come across your video. It's so comforting watching you calmly cook healthy meals from scratch. It seems like a strange thing to feel about someone you don't know, but you come across as a very warm person. Thank you

New sub. Your channel popped up in my feed, and so glad it did! I love German food so I'm looking forward to exploring your videos. Your voice and delivery is so relaxing and calming in this hyper-crazy world!

OMG! My mouth was watering ! That last dish looked FANTASTIC! Howdy from frozen Southwest Missouri !

Fried mush, potato pancakes, homemade noodles, fried chicken n then baked, and baked dutch pancakes my german grandmother taught me how to make. I love to cook. Glad i found your channel n can learn more wonderful dishes to make!❤

I found your channel today. Growing up my family made lentil soup/stew with sausage. Such a wonderful, comforting dish.

My oma made kohlrabi stew both oma s great cooks as mum i so miss their cooking! ❤️💙❤️🇦🇺🇩🇪

Very well presented 😊

I just discovered your channel, I love it, thank you for yours recipes!

Looks delicious

Lentil stew for supper tonight! I will be using some German Sausage.

All the dishes are well balanced with meat and veggies. They look so warm, cozy, and delicious. Very unique. I will try them. Thanks

I love raw Kohlrabi! I am enjoying the German dishes from my childhood!!! Thanks for sharing!

They all look delicious 😊

superlecker !!!

Lovely recipes, and will try them out.

I found your channel because I want to learn about making sourdough. I subscribed and this video came up. Does this bring back memories! I am from the Netherlands and we have spend many vacations in Germany, and we live now 5 kilometer from the German border. I love Gemüse mit Käse überbacken, but I had forgotten about it! Thank you for this video. Herzliche Grüße aus Holland.

Amazing 😋

You should keep the dried layers of the onion too! So much intense flavor and nutrient rich! 💜 thanks for sharing these yummy looking recipes.

Absolutely love your recipes reminds me so much of my school days when living in Schleswig Holstein and attending King Alfred School in Plon xx

I grew up with Klopse 😋 serve with potatoes and a creamy sauce ☺️ and for something sweet- canned peaches. My husband loves kohlrabi. Looking forward to trying your recipe. ❤

Hi Anja, I just discovered your channel this evening and I am so happy to have found it! My husband was German and my mother in law cooked such delicious meals but I never got any recipes for them and now watching your videos I will have an opportunity to make some of them. You have such a calm speaking voice you make a wonderful teacher! I am in California too, in SoCal!

I just found your video and I really enjoyed it! My husband and I really like German food, sauerkraut, potatoes, pork, sausage. I tried making spazle onxe. It was good but I haven't attempted it again. We make our own sauerkraut every year. Last i made about 50lbs, which we share with some of our family. I am looking forward to trying some of your recipes. Thank you so much for sharing!

My grandmother is German and my grandfather is Danish. My grandma used to make a savory Apple strudel with a potato dough .

I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I’m an excellent cook but I don’t know much about German food. Everything looked delicious and I will definitely be trying these recipes. I also enjoyed learning a few German words. Thankyou so much.

Anja, you are a GEM. This video is outstanding. VERY SOON I will be making the Lentil Soup/Stew. Others to follow. Thank you for sharing. I am sending this video to my Daughter....I want her to meet you via Video. Your German heritage is so NEAT. Aria

Great recipes! Ich liebe sie alle und koche sie ziemlich oft! I love Kohlrabi as well. They‘re delicious raw too. I make a salad of cucumber and kohlrabi (grated) with a sour cream dressing - it’s so good! And for a vegetarian dish, breaded and fried kohlrabi slices are amazing = Kohlrabischnitzel! Thanks for sharing!

Oh my! Everything looks so delicious 😋. Do you have a cookbook with these particular dishes in? I would definitely order!

Hi Anja, your cooking 🔪 style is wooow .

This brought back so many memories of my mothers cooking. We always have caulifower with a cream sauce. Would love to try your 'upgraded' recipie. Also always made kohlrabi with a white sauce but I almost never find them in the store. I wondered if you thought brats would go with the lentil stew or does it need the smokey flavor? Thank you for sharing these recipies.

New subscriber, loved this video and we will be trying these over the weekend. Thank you, Anja!

Thank you for sharing these amazing recipes! I just subscribed to your channel and I am enjoying it very much! I am not German but my husband’s family are German descendants. I find it very interesting and I like to learn about the German culture as well. Thank you!

Lovely video!

I just came across your channel. I am glad I did.

My Grandma and Grandpa Unruh came from Germany, You are the only one I know besides me that cooks with kolrobi. That was the best memory with my dad, is when I was little we used to go out to the grand parents garden peck the kolrobi, he would take out his pocket knife and we would eat at least two or three, then a couple of strawberries. then in for a drink. but don't tell grandma.😇🥰, God Bless their souls. I miss them all.

Good recipes

I’m American, but my family came here from Norway. I’m first generation American. My parents loved seafood, but they also loved using potatoes. We had potatoes often.

new subscriber here. I really enjoyed this video. Very tasty looking food. I am all German and enjoy this touch in your video.

My grandmother's soup pot sat on the back of her stove during the winter, and received any leftover veggie. It was usually boiled once a day, just enough to keep veggies safe but not mushy. Bits of meat were added at the end near serving, before emptying and restarting.

Thanks for the German food education

I am a food and drink writer from London and I am cooking every day for work and pleasure. I love German food! It’s underrated in my opinion. I am very much enjoying your videos. Next to learn about sour cream!

first time viewer. delicious. simple and looks very flavorful.

The dishes look yummy. It's been a long time since I've seen someone measure salt with the palm of their hand! My mom used that method, and I've used it...not lately, however. Thank you.

I’m only 2 minutes into the first video I’ve ever seen of yours and I can tell this is going to be a long-term relationship! Subscribing! ❤

Stunning! Thank you for sharing your calm life with us 😃 Kindred spirit! 🤗 Have you tried Romanesco? It's kind of a mix between Broccoli and Cauliflower but has a spiral growth pattern. Beautiful and tasty! Have a lovely day!

This is making me so hungry. It’s the perfect weather for cozy hearty dishes like these. Everything is covered in snow here. I only wish you had said the German names out loud so I could hear how they sound. ☺️💞

My German mother-in-law lives with us and makes a basic cauliflower and sauce dish that is amazing. No cheese or ham, I'm not fond of either. Her German goulash is to die for😊

Glad to find you. Nana never wrote down recipes or shared them (g)….. her family was from Breslau. This was supper at Nanas,

Lecker, liebe Grüße aus Hamburg ❤

Hello Anja, I found your chanel recently through this video and I just wanted to tell you that I have made the ,,lentil soup" today and it was really delicious. I made it with a spaghetti instead of spätzle, because that's what I had at home. So I just wanted to thank you for the recipe. I am originally from Nord Macedonia, but six years ago I moved to Cologne Germany. Liebe Grüße, Emilija😊

Hallo Anja, ich kenne das Rezept von meiner Oma. Super Idee, koche ich demnächst nach. Ueberbackener Blumenkohl, genial. Was hast du nur für einen wunderschönen Herd..... Liebe Grüsse vom Bodensee Bettina P. S. Spätzle mache ich regelmäßig. Hier in Baden-Württemberg ist das Kulturgut. 😂

Yummy hausmanns kost ❤

👍

Great camera quality and pretty kitchen. Where in NorCal are you?

In Germany Frikadellen also called Bouletten 😊

Hallo Anja, wunderschönes Video… Ahhh und du kochst unser Lieblingsgericht hier im Schwoabenländle… Linsen und Spätzle. Darf ich fragen, welche Größe der gusseiserne Topf hat und von welcher Marke er ist. Ich suche noch so einen. Viele Grüße aus der Nähe von Stuttgart

Anja what type of lentils did you use? I'm definitely going to try these recipes, everything looked delicious ❤

😋👍

Hi Anya, I am new to your channel. I have watched a couple of your sourdough videos and I’m new to that too but you did mention that buttermilk and caraway seeds and Fry flour would make a good starter. Can you tell me more about that I would, because my goal is to make sourdough rye bread with caraway seeds, any help you can offer would be greatly greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Mmmmmm!!!!!

I am thinking one could switch cabbage for the cauliflower ?

Mmmmm... lecker!

what do you use boullon paste which is MSG.Not good for health

frikadelle or the similar sounding word in my mother tongue means fritter... potato fritter shaped like meatballs.

Hallo Anja, Sabina hier von Bayern ( jetzt in Amerika). Ich bin so froh das Ich dich gefunden habe!!! Alles sieht so gut aus!! Ich weiß jetzt unsere nächsten paar Mahlzeiten 🥰 Riesige Frage- wo kann ich die Kartoffel Gabel in Amerika finden- mit den drei Zacken??? Die geht mir so ab von meiner Kindheit in Pullach ( außerhalb München). Alles gute - Bis bald, Sabina

😋💞

In Berlin the meat balls are called "Buletten".

I think you would call it cauliflower au gratin. I think that's how most Americans would think of it, anyway. I don't think there is a specific English term for it.

What brand is your stock pot?

What could you use instead of kohlrabi ? Maybe another more common root vegetable or broccoli? 🙂

When you don't make your own spaetzle, what brand do you use?
