I made a Gingerbread 'Tiramisu' with cinnamon cream, Spekulatius crumble and Elisen. I will do it for the christmas dinner, too.

My wife makes a Lebkuchen cookie from an old family recipe that came over from Germany over 100 years ago. The dough is stored for 2 weeks then baked and stored for another 2 weeks with an apple. They are a thin hard cookie which makes them perfect for dunking in coffee, They are my favorite cookie.

This has me missing visiting the Christkindlmarkt in Deutschland und Österreich when visiting me dad’s family. Darn this pandemic 😷 😢😭

I do not have your baking skills, so I will just imagine tasting your kitchen masterpieces :) Anything I attempt to bake will surely ruin everyone's holidays!

Check the description for the lebkuchen recipe only to discover it's the recipe i have bookmarked and used a couple of years ago. Look forward to making them again this year 😁

The best lebkuchen I ever had was from a market stall in Regensburg several years ago. It was the oblaten type, but chunkier. A nice change from the more finely-grained Nurnburger type.

We always get our Lebkuchen from Bäckerei Duell in Nürnberg. It takes some time until you receive them because they are made to order.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS! Merry Christmas! Thanks for sharing your videos!

I am making cookies with my 87 year old and 90 year old Aunts. So far we have made Snickerdoodles, Butter, Chocolate Chip, Anise, Mexican Wedding, Oreo Mice, and Coconut Cookies. They used to make up to 15 different kinds, but have not made any for many years now, so I thought it was time to renew the tradition. Now we need to find someone to eat them!

I spent time in Germany as a child, on a US Army base. And nothing says "Christmas" to me, like German sweets. 😊

I was too young to learn the names of everything though... 🤔 So thank you so much, for sharing what's what, about German gingerbread. 🫡🍻

'Nabend Marta, I used to love Lebeskuchen when I was a kid but not now sadly. I have three tasks dictated to me, by my family for Christmas. 1. Saure Sülze, I couldn't get a pigs head or even pigs cheeks so I'm making it with belly pork. 2. Fleisch Salat, that's easy, I have the Mortadella and the rest of the ingredients, just lots of chopping. 3. Herring salad, again easy, I have the Rollmops and Gherkins but I need to get the beetroot and find some fresh dill. I'm looking forward to Donnerstäg when I'll be busy all day. Frohe Weihnachten Marta, Mattias und baby.

I have traced my family surname back to 1642 and Morschbach, WNW of the intersection of 61 north and 50 west and Part of the Rhineland-Palatinate. It would be interesting to me to see what their traditional foods are. Could you see if it is possible to present food from that area? Thank you.

I've only ever had the Lebkuchen from Aldi that my German relatives eat. Even these are quite nice. I like the light texture, fluffy and coated in a white glaze, but still too sweet. There are so many in this video and they all look so much better.

No Gingerbread house?😉 A pie here I haven't had in a long time is mincemeat (doesn't have meat ) growing up we also had fruit cakes and Christmas pudding.Kinda fell out of fashion here I think though.Whishing you and your family a Merry Christmas.
