German cuisine workshop
Surely you’ve heard about German cuisine classics such as Brezeln, Sauerkraut, Kartoffelsalat and Streuselkuchen… But have you ever cooked German recipes? If not, this is your chance! This fall, we are offering a series of online cooking workshops where you can discover a few delicious, comforting and easy recipes to make.
This workshop series is for people who already have some cooking experience. The
workshop will be held in French.
Plätzchen (“little cookies”) play a big part in Germany’s culinary Christmas traditions. They’re little cookies that the whole family bakes and enjoys together in big quantities during the holiday season. It’s the perfect opportunity to get together in the kitchen and enjoy some sweet treats. Among the all-time Plätzchen classics you’ll find Zimtsterne, Spritzgebäck, Elisenlebkuchen, Kokosmakronen, Vanillekipferl and Buttergebäck (to name just a few).
During this first of two cooking workshops in December, our chef Annika will introduce you to the German Christmas tradition of Plätzchenbacken (“cookie baking”) by showing you how to make two kinds of classic Plätzchen:
Zimtsterne (cinnamon stars) and
Spritzgebäck (shortbread cookies).
The recipe, along with instructions and the link to the workshop, will be sent by email on
November 30 to those who have registered. Limited spots available! Please register by email at
bibliothek-montreal@goethe.de
Until then, don’t hesitate to email us if you have questions about the workshop. We look forward to cooking with you!
