Schnitzel Caprese – in the Kitchen with Jenn
It is the time of year when everyone’s gardens are thriving. Many times they are producing more than we can eat, which is why I decided to make a meal that would incorporate three different items from the garden: tomatoes, basil and cucumbers. I used my Landesverband Frauengruppe Cookbook to make Duetscher Kulturverein, St. Louis’ Chicken Schnitzel Caprese and Eva-Maria Rill’s (Chicago Donauschwaben) Cucumber Salad.
Shepherd’s Pie – in the Kitchen with Jenn
St. Patrick's Day is just around the corner and I am turning to the Landesverband Frauengruppe Cookbook for a Shepherd's Pie recipe. Shepherd's Pie, a popular dish in the UK and Ireland, is typically made with lamb; however, Anna Wiegert’s (Chicago Donauschwaben) “Shepherd’s Pie-German Style” is made with beef and pork. It is topped with mashed potatoes and Anna's addition of bacon.
Farina Dumplings – in the Kitchen with Jenn
The best recipes are not created in a test kitchen for the latest issue of a magazine and you cannot find them in time-lapse videos on Facebook. The best recipes come from families. They are the tried-and-true recipes for your favorite dishes, the dishes you ask to have for dinner on your birthday every year. You cannot find them in a magazine or on the internet and that is just the problem. No matter how hard we try to pass recipes down and keep tradition alive, the reality is that they can be lost in an instant.
