About me: I have always liked to cook, particularly breads, fruits, vegetables, vegetarian, poultry and lamb dishes. After marriage we cooked together progressively more difficult dishes with him doing the meat, grilling and frying, and I did the "dough" and the same type of things I had before. After children we started cooking more simply. After discovering the cause of my frequent migraines was an evolving long list of chemicals and odd ingredients, I began getting back to cooking from basic ingredients, and found I could be well again. I also try to cooking from what I can get in season at the ever present fruit and vegetable stands.

The German Cookbook: A Complete Guide to Mastering Authentic German Cooking

By Mimi Sheraton
Random House - 1965

This is my favorite recipe that my German mother-in-law cooked and we have many fond memories of having it on special occasions. I was nervous about getting the meat correctly sliced by the butcher, but found a package in the store that was perfect. I opted not to use a recipe in another German cookbook, because it was too simple. This has a lot of variations, we make ours with spreading mustard on the beef and adding a piece of pickle before rolling and browning. The best part is the gravy! It is important to cook them long enough that they are tender, but not so much that they fall apart. The best part is the gravy!
