Hi there! I’m Maike, a German girl turned American.
And I love nothing more than sharing my favorite comfort food recipes from both sides of the pond.
Some of the recipes are childhood favorites from Germany. And many of my recipes are classic American comfort food I fell in love with over the years.
After working more than a decade in the restaurant industry and having the opportunity to meet some amazing chefs, I've learned quite a few tips and tricks along the way.
You'll find some old classics brought back to life, like my Last-Minute Canned Pumpkin Soup.
Although I love cooking from scratch, I'm all about making cooking as simple as possible for you. Thank you for stopping by and exploring some of my favorite recipes. I am so excited you’re here!
Here are some of my Favorites Recipes
Salad: Oma's Cucumber Salad
Comfort Food: Chicken Stroganoff and Lasagna Rolls
German Food: Krautfleckerl and Knödel (not together)
Side Dish: Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Creamy Mashed Potatoes and Mushroom Pie
Soup: French Onion Soup and German Potato Soup
Dessert: Butterkuchen. Bee Sting Cake and Pumpkin Dump Cake
