German-American Recipe Book
RSCC is delighted to present a German-American Recipe Book. This was a joint COVID-pandemic project with DAGRP (our Pinneberg Sister City org.) to share foods that bring us comfort during our pandemic shut-in and separation, a virtual way to continue our cultural exchange. Dir. Allison Chang led this project and edited the cookbook. She did outstanding work, professional quality.
The cookbook is being released electronically to RSCC members. The link below downloads an encrypted PDF file. The decryption key is provided to members. Not a member and interested in this cookbook? Well, then join RSCC for modest membership dues, Membership link.
We thank the DAGRP for their delightful and bountiful contributions.
