"I don't have one of these specific Spätzle Tools, so we will be improvising"... Proceeds to do it the most original, swabian way every german grandma would be proud of:)
I love when people show off their cuisine. German food isn't very popular outside of Germany so this was cool to watch. I may try out one or two dishes. I'd love to see a continuation of this. Tbh, I'd love more European foods. Maybe based in Central and Eastern Europe. They're not as popular in online spaces, especially not in vegan/plant based ones in my experience.
aww that is such a good idea, as someone who also loves sharing random recipes in my RU-vid channel I've been thinking about doing a series about trying to veganise different classical recipes from around the world, as I really want to take my kitchen techniques to the next level I love cooking and baking and I just want to inspire others to enjoy cooking just as much
I think it's so cool that after several years you still have the same stove and did not change to some fancy one just because you create content. I think it looks real in a very good way and it's the best for the environment :)
AHHHH OMG please do more of these!!! i'm american but have primarily german heritage & my grandparents were immigrants (my dad is first generation in america!) literally nobody makes videos about vegan GERMAN food so this vid made me so happy today 🥹💖 super nostalgic
By bff growing up was from a German family so her Mutti and Vatti were my German parents. We had rolls with spreads, butter, honey(my fav was one with coconut) and juice(lots of vitamins as they were very into health) and coffee on Saturday mornings. Pop Petersen always complained that he hadn’t had a decent cup of coffee since moving to the USA. These were pre Aldi & Lidl days. Mutti taught me to push spaetzle dough through a sieve over boiling salted water. She also taught me a simplified version of beinstich using crescent rolls for the dough for both the top and bottom layer, almond sugar mixture on both! One very hot summer I put the cake in the freezer so the whipped cream froze, very yummy. Also the children in my neighborhood when I lived in Spain made me a “cake” similar to the cold dog version you made! I’m enjoying seeing these dishes as German food is very nostalgic for me(I also visited a number of times when my sister moved there).
@@n4ni323 actually we also have a cake/ sweet that is called "Baumkuchen" =treecake, its soft in the middle and striped like a tree inside with its rings, and covered in chocolate.. Reaaally sweet!
This series has so much potential! I'm a french girl and I arrived in upper Bavaria about a year ago and I am still shocked by the amount of meat they eat here ...
This is SO nice! As a german myself, I felt so seen🥹 Whenever I make Spätzle myself i always add some kalanamak, since Spätzle are originally made with a huge bunch of eggs. My mums Bienenstich is famous amongst all our friends and family, because she makes a more Biskuit kind of dough instead of a yeast based one. I'd love to see you veganize some more German dishes!
Can confirm, German parents get up ridiculously early on weekends. (Having said that, I'm not a parent and woke up at 6am without an alarm today... Getting up at 5am every day is hard to break out of for just a weekend lol) I think filter coffee is generally a German thing yeah. Whether it's weak or strong will depend, but usually it's filter. My family knew Kalter Hund as Blutwurst, so we actually poured the chocolate mixture into a large sausage casing, and crumbled the cookies instead of layering. Looks surprisingly like real Blutwurst when cut in slices XD Think we also added some rum flavouring. Uhhhh, Bienenstich is one I miss a lot. Our local bakery had a really nice one with a really thick stiff cream. No clue what it was made of. Note to international viewers: "custard powder" is usually just corn starch and flavouring (vanilla in this case). One packet of the biggest brand weighs 37g, most of that will be corn starch, and the instructions say to mix with 500ml of milk.
A different way to the käsespätzle i know. We We alternately layer spätzle, fried onions, grated cheese and butter flakes in the baking dish and it MUST be baked. The onions are fried without cream and parsley. Lots of cheese, lots of onions, lots of butter❤. I definitely have to try your version, sounds delicious
My nan was from the Czech Republic but lived in Germany for a long time so I grew up with lots of German food that I now struggle to remember, love this kind of content because it brings back memories!
3:12 my cousins' aunt was visiting once from Schwarzwald when I was a kid (I grew up in California), and she made spaetzle from scratch while she was there, and she had this thing like looked like a mandolin for cutting but it had holes in and she'd swipe the paste across this tool into the boiling water, it was so cool to look at
Ahh so happy to see this - just came home, now I’m going to make dinner and can’t wait for watching and enjoying every single minute while I eat (cause minarome content + empty stomach is just plain torture)❤
I really love this German series! It´s interesting to see how similar or different it is to my country´s cuisine (Czechia) - We used to have the same breakfast and also spätzle in school! I screamed at currywurst, because to me it just screams German food! Kalter Hund look absolutely amazing!
Your Bienenstich looks so nice! I always cut the top (caramelised) part into cake slice sections before I put them back on top of the cream. That way it’s easier to cut through the cake when it’s assembled and a little bit less messy :)
This is an absolute LIFESAVER. I'm transitioning to a plant-based diet atm and German foods are one of the things I'm worried about LOL the brot looks sooooo good.
The Marmeladenbrötchen and Wurstaufschnittbrötchen on Sundays is definitely something I've seen in many German families. Definitely with orange juice as a drink tho.
Am Wochenende gabs bei uns Brötchen (wir Kids haben ausschließlich normale gegessen, Vitamine galt es um jeden Preis zu vermeiden!) mit Fleischwurst oder daumendick jungem Gouda. :D Außerdem gekochtes Ei, das auf Graubrot und mit einer Kuchengabel gegessen wurde (ich weiß auch nicht, warum). Ich schwöre, es gab nicht ein einziges Stückchen Obst oder Gemüse. Ich finde es immer noch richtig seltsam, wenn sich leute freiwillig Gurke oder Salat aufs Brot legen.
I love your Bienenstich recipe. I think I will try it myself soon. Next time you can add San Apart to the cream and it will be stiff and less messy. It works like wonder for vegan whipping cream.
When I was in elementary school, I think I had oatmeal for breakfast every weekday morning. Probably with a glass of milk or orange juice. My parents worked on the weekends and that was the only time we were allowed to have sweets, so is often make myself a sugar cereal for breakfast then or/and some scrambled eggs or German pancake (American dish invented by German American). German pancake was my absolute favorite to make and was one of the first recipes I could cook on my own.
I'm french but the cookie loaf cake was a staple of my childhood! I had this children's cooking book with the recipe in it. Now I wonder if it was a german book translated to french, because I don't remember it being very common in France in general
I love this video! Can you make more videos about German dishes? I never knew about Kalter Hund dessert - looks simple enough for me to try at home since I have both chocolate and cookies, and coconut oil :)
Ich dachte immer, du kommst gar nicht aus Deutschland, sondern wärst fürs Studium hergezogen :] Sehr gute Rezepte. Hab noch nie Käsespätzle gegessen, die probier ich mal aus. Lieben Gruß von einem Zehlendorfer in Lichtenberg :)
Great to see the German foods Mina ate as a child veganised. It was also helpful to see Mina prepare the pasta without the Spatzle tool usually used. Love 🥰 the video and love ❤️ Mina from sunny ☀️ beautiful Scotland.
As a French, we love a toast with butter and jam / honey + coffee or tea ! When I was a kid I was replacing the jam with cocoa powder and the coffee with hot chocolate (chocolate fan here)
My parents sleep way longer than I do, but it always was like that I was the one who got up first, even as young child. Also we always use Butterbrotpapier for the Kalte Schnauze to lay it into the tin. Mom is constantly complaining about the fact that she used another type of cookies back in the day.
Ich fände es richtig cool, wenn weitere "deutsche" Rezepte veganisiert werden würden. Rezepte aus meiner Kindheit sind süß saure Eier, Hühnerfrikasse und Kasseler mit Kartoffeln und Sauerkraut. Letzteres würde ich soo gerne mal wieder essen😊
Loved the video ! About the egg for the breakfast, there's a great vegan egg yolk dip recipe on the blog it doesn't taste like chicken. There's so egg white substitute but a dip can do the trick for a soft-boiled egg !
I spent most of my childhood in germany and haven’t been there for more than ten years now, so this is very nostalgic! I miss their bakeries so muchhhh, especially Brötchen and Bretzels 😢 ps. I would absolutely love it if you tried somali cuisine 🇸🇴 but with a vegan twist ❤
These all look delicious! Especially the curry wurst. I grew up and still live in the United States in the state of Minnesota. I live nowhere near the metropolitan areas, I’m a couple hours north, surrounded by people mostly of Scandinavian descent, but I didn’t grow up with the typical foods my friends ate, which was a lot of prepackaged foods and low quality frozen meals. My parents raised me and my siblings with a pretty diverse palate. From very traditional and scratch made French style cooking, to food from India, Thailand, Korea, Vietnam, Italy, and even some British staples. Of course we had the occasional burger, westernized Chinese food and pizza, but my mom was always trying to make us meals that were better, fresher, and healthier than the food she grew up with. I’m pretty sure we were the only people in our neighborhood who were always stocked up on gochujang, when my parents would take a trip to Minneapolis, and stop at all the global food markets. My dad’s aunt was Korean and introduced him to gochujang. It made its way into nights when my dad would improvise in the kitchen. Korean-style BBQ sauce, amped up burger sauce, it even snuck its way into stir fry sauce when we had “freezer scraps” (a handful of peas and carrots, some spinach, half a bag of broccoli, etc.) So I learned flavor pairings and technique from my mom, with the flexibility and ability to improvise from my dad. I’m the official keeper of our family’s recipes. I have been slowly curating all the dirty index cards and cookbook pages, and have typed them into a digital format, but ever since my sister sent me a dozen more recipe cards, I’ve been procrastinating on typing them up. Once that’s complete though, every family member and friend who grew up having dinner with us is getting a copy of my family’s recipe book.
that is so nice of you thought, I actually have been thinking of doing the same but doing it over here in my RU-vid channel as I love filming and editing and love sharing my learning process
Lovely video! That cookie cake is also a traditional dish in the Netherlands calld 'arretjescake', used to have this cake for my birthday often growing up! I used to call it 'masonry cake' as a slice from it kind of looks like a wall, childrens logic😅 A few years ago I also made a vegan version and was just like the non-vegan version growing up. Anyway nice to see the food similarities between the Netherlands and Germany 😃 Do Germans also use nutmeg on random vegetables such as green beans?
I don‘t know if someone in Germany uses nutmeg on green beans but in our german household nutmeg was (and still is) a staple for spinach, mashed potatoes and potatoe soup
Nutmeg in a ,,old" german household is only for spinach, mashed potatoes (Kartoffelpürree), bechamelsauce and only a few other meals, but really not many more.
I loved your regional food episodes. I am polish and love your pierogi ruskie recipy (dumplings with patatoes and "cheese"). If you like w challange you can make karpatka (cake) or bigos (dinner).
My favorite cuisine is from Afghanistan. The way they cook white rice blew my mind during my childhood. Combined with saucy sides like potatoes, spinach, eggplant, kidney beans, daal or butter nut squash showed me that I really don’t need meat to have a tasteful meal. The best was kind of a yellowee (turmeric saffron sauce) rice together with spinach and chicken (vegan chicken, king oyster shrooms or jackfruit are even better). There is also a dish called Kabuli Pilau, a rice steamed with spices, carrots, almonds, and raisins. It’s also originally steamed with lamb but there are great alternatives to veganize it as well. If you have any Afghani friends I’m sure they’d be happy to help.
Really enjoyed this - in the UK here and British food, maybe like German, isn't held in the best regard. So I'd LOVE it if you did one on traditional British dishes. The only thing I can think of is a scotch egg though, and those really are sad.
I am from the US but lived in Germany for a year and I miss the bread so much😭 I don’t miss shops being closed on sunday though haha. Love this video, German food is underrated!!❤
I’d love to see more German recipes. My mom’s side is all German and there’s a lot of recipes I ate growing up but don’t know how to make vegan now. There’s a sweet bread my grandma makes that is braided and has anise in the dough. You dip it in coffee and it’s so good. I don’t even know what it’s called but I’d die to have a vegan recipe for it. I love Spätzle thank you for the recipe ❤❤❤
@@hederahelix4600it’s also quite easy to make vegan, just use plant milk instead of milk, I don’t think there’s any other animal based things in it (some brush it with egg but you can omit that or use plant milk again)
@@hederahelix4600 Weirdly I just asked my mom and they call it what sounds like Grantz (I have no idea how they spell it) but googling hefezopf it looks to be the same.
If you make "kalter hund" with butter,it will not work out properly. It might be to soft. Palmin would work and it should also be used. If someone can't get palmin, i would recommend, you try coconut oil. That should turn out very well,i haven't tried that yet though. I use palmin, but i know you may not get it in some countries.
Wonderful video as always! I would love more German recipes but would prefer more savoury ones! Actually, I’ve literally been waiting for a vegan Spätzle recipe from you 😅 insane that you even prepared the dough from scratch! Will have to give that a try, used to love spätzle as a child! Maybe in future German videos you could make Berliner, Geschnetzeltes, Benjamin Blümchen Torte, Bratwurst and especially potato gratin! About the sweet pepper spice - you are so right, I literally live from that stuff 😂 feel free to judge me but imao everything tastes good when you cook it with that and soy sauce! In general, I’ve always been a fan of your eating around the World Series and would love more international-specific-cuisine themed videos! Indian, Thai, Ethiopian, French, South American, Viet, Indonesian and US American could all be interesting!!
Hello, I am a fan of your videos! I really don't used to write comments in RU-vid but I really support your work! I was thinking that you could try to cook😊 some Greek traditional dishes (I am Greek :)) for example : pita souvlaki or spanakopita. Thank you so much for your videos and keep on!
If you want to make this Bee Sting Cake without the cream getting everywhere. Make the pudding but only with 2/3 of the liquid ingredients, beat it up before you put the cream in, and than fill the cake. That wont fix it fully but it least it will make it a bit less messy.
my parents also drink unimaginable strong filtered coffee and they get up so early, as well. On Sundays we always have a typical German breakfasts and my mom wakes me up at 8 o’ clock or smth so I can relate hahaha
I feel like you could have a lot of fun doing something like Beryl Shereshewsky, where she presents a handful of dishes from around the world based around a particular theme/ingredient that were submitted by fans with their video stories attached to those dishes. Only modify it slightly to focus on one country at a time. I'm not sure how much of an undertaking it would be to get that much community engagement, but it's an idea.
I love love looove this video! ❤ Also it got me thinking that us Spanish are barbarians, we just dump the cut potatoes in oil and fry them as they are haha. Would love to see your take on some Spanish tapas, like bombas, patatas bravas or huevos estrellados! Your tortilla de patatas was extremely good :) 💕
I love your videos ❤ how about trying some 'underrated' cuisine? Like Swedish or British or some Eastern European countries. German food is not the most popular and yet you showed many nice and tasty recipes 😊
I am from Pakistan and a typical weekend consisted of Halwa (semolina sweet dish) Puri (a type of deep fried bread) and Channe (chickpea curry). It is extremely filling ans full of oil but so delicious 😂
Man, those sausages looked good! Feel like Germany has better sausages, meat or vegan. Miss the mock meat selection at Rewe since living abroad... Only had kalter Hund a few times growing up, wasn't really something my parents made, but now I kinda want it, so thanks for sharing :)
Oooh, so excited for it! I've been getting bored seeing all Asian/Asian-inspired food everywhere (no hate tho) so it's great to see this even though I'm not german myself!
Kalter Hund ist etwas was es auch in anderen Ländern gibt, deshalb würde ich nicht sagen das es typisch Deutsch ist. In Griechenland heißt er zb Doukissa.
Do you like korean food? Ive noticed that you use some korean ingredients in your previous videos would love to see you make vegan korean dishes you havent tried making yet!!
