This is a great salad with a sweet and tart flavors that can include some strips of pork or chicken. |

German Oxtail Soup
This one is a blended soup.
The oxtails are rich in a succulent ingredient called beef gelatin. This is what makes it better than an average beef soup. |

Vanilla Sugar Cubes
I used these in the Plum Dumplings and they would be fun to use for coffee or tea, or Float in a bowl of mulled wine. |

a nice flavorful dough is perfect to wrap around a plum and make this tasty dessert with butter crumb vanilla sauce and sour cream.

Plank Salmon
with Creamy Dill Glaze
This is a family favorite. The creamy pungent sour cream dill sauce adds the perfect contrast to the forward flavor of salmon. |

Butter Ball Dumpling Soup
These dumplings are very tender and flavorful due to the butter that is added to them which acts like a shortening. The soup is a simple chicken soup that I made clear by simmering it with egg shells. |

Thin sliced veal or pork and a warm paprika sauce to go wth this pan fried schnitzel. |
