"Beyond Bratwurst" traces the many traditions that have combined to form German food today. From the earliest beginnings, food and cooking in Germany have been marked by geographic and climatic differences between north and south, as well as continuous cultural influences from bordering countries. The book shows that the openness and receptiveness Germans have shown towards these influences have resulted in the frequent reinvention of their cuisine, and a food culture with a remarkable flexibility. The regional variations of today are based as much on political, cultural and socioeconomic history as on geography: the story of German food includes the back-to-the-land movement of the late 19th century and the development of modern mass-market products by Justus Liebig and Dr Oetker, as well as rationing and shortages under the Nazis, post-war hunger and divisions between East and West. "Beyond Bratwurst" describes who eats what, how, where and when in Germany, telling the stories of many German specialities such as beer, Stollen, rye bread and Lebkuchen, as well as more surprising German favourites. Written in an accessible style, the book will appeal to a wide readership, from food historians, chefs and other professionals to those interested in German history and cuisine.
