Guten Appetit! Celebrate fall with some delicious German recipes from our friends at HomeLife Magazine. 🍂
My husband, Thom, claims 99 percent German descent. Bearing the surname Schupp, no one contests this fact. He’s proud of his heritage, so naturally we chose to backpack Germany on our honeymoon many moons ago. There we fell in love with the beautiful, hearty food, and rich traditions in cities like Munich, Cologne, and Berlin. We were held captive by the siren’s lure, as we passed the cliffs of Lorelei on the Rhine River, then boarded a train to explore quaint little towns like St.
Oktoberfest, originating in Munich, traditionally runs the third Saturday of September through the first Sunday of October, which coincidentally is when we start craving their amazing cuisine. Historically, the first festival was in celebration of the marriage of Crown Prince Ludwig to Princess Therese von Sachsen-Hildburghausen in October 1810.
Our St. Louis hosts did a masterful job with their version of Oktoberfest, which was set among the sprawling oaks shading their freshly mowed backyard. Upon entering, a line of food tents donning blue and white flags presented the traditional fare of brats cooked in onions, red cabbage, and spaetzle. A tray of soft pretzels and hardy mustard served as an appetizer, while dessert was the crown jewel of Germany — homemade apple strudel dusted with sugar.
I think we’re all looking for ways to come together and celebrate life. For our family that translates into celebrating around the table with food, family, and friends. And for this month, we’re adding our favorite flavors of Bavaria: juicy, tender pork Schnitzel atop a bed of tangy, warm German potato salad. And not to be forgotten, top those two items with a side of sweet and sour braised red cabbage that is garnished with a generous dollop of creme fraiche.
My hope is you enjoy these soul-satisfying recipes as much as our family does. Take this opportunity to celebrate life around your table with those you cherish. Guten Appetit!2 eggs
