    “Paints a picture of a German cuisine that most of us had no idea existed: vibrant salads, light fish dishes, addictive vegetable sides . . .” —Epicurious 
     
    One of The Washington Post’s “10 Best Cookbooks of 2015” 
     
    Bright flavors. Fresh and healthful. These are not words we typically associate with German cuisine. But this beautifully packaged cookbook is not quite traditional. Featuring 100 recipes for familiar food re-envisioned to reflect the way we eat now, New German Cooking celebrates fresh vegetables, grains, herbs, and spices as obsessively as it does pork, pretzels, and beer. Chefs Jeremy and Jessica Nolen share recipes from their family table, inspired by their travels in Germany. Slow-braised meats, homemade pickles and preserves, hand-cut noodles, and vegetables every which way—the recipes in New German Cooking are entirely true to their roots, yet utterly unique. More than 40 full-color photographs and creative recipes for every meal occasion will satisfy food lovers far and wide. 
     
    “New German Cooking ain’t yer oma’s cookbook. It’s better. With imagination and finesse, Jeremy and Jessica Nolen update classics and lighten, brighten, and most of all modernize German cooking, that most misunderstood of cuisines.” —Hank Shaw, James Beard Award–winning author  
     
    “This inspiring read includes a mouthwatering combination of the familiar (Bavarian pretzels, beer cheese soup, bratwurst, and apple strudel) with modern riffs such as green asparagus and aged-gouda dip; roasted parsnip salad with hazelnuts and blue cheese; and a simple chicken braised in riesling with onion, leeks, garlic, and green grapes . . . [a] terrific update on an often-overlooked cuisine.” —Publishers Weekly
