The wurst! : the very best of German food

For too long a cuisine undervalued against those other European stalwarts - French and Italian - it is time to put German food into the spotlight!

Classic German food is ridiculously delicious and super easy to prepare - from slow-cooked roasts to hearty salads, tasty snacks, enriched breads and moreish desserts - it has it all.

Hotdogs, burgers, pretzels, rye bread and beer - and just some of the hugely popular foods that had their origins in Germany.

Even if you think you have no knowledge of German food - you would be surprised about how influential this cuisine has been throughout history.
