Query: Excellent authentic recipes

The recipes are authentic and represent a concise collection of dishes one can actually prepare with relative ease. I have a few other books about German cooking, some of which with several hundred pages, but I always go back to this one when I'm in the mood to try preparing something new.The section on German culture is of the same quality as the recipes. Concise, helpful, no fluff.
