Kochen und Backen nach Grundrezepten

This book has emerged from years of practical schoolwork and is intended to be a guide for young girls and women (and now also men) who want to delve into this field. It primarily focuses on simple home cooking based on modern principles. It has been shown that one can only achieve proficiency in cooking, baking, and preserving if one understands the principles that govern the combination of ingredients and the preparation of dishes, and adheres to the resulting rules. Most cooking and baking recipes can be categorized into relevant groups. This leads to basic quantities and foundational recipes. These can be altered through various seasonings, fillings, or shapes, as well as by using appropriate substitutes. This independent embellishment, modification, or derivation fosters a joy for cooking and baking, allowing creativity and emotion to flourish. Working from basic recipes may seem to lead to a certain uniformity. However, in reality, the solid foundation of these basic recipes provides the means for independent adaptation and transformation of dishes.
