Germany is famous for its traditional recipes that have been lovingly preserved and handed down from generation to generation. At the same time, many influences from all over the world are also apparent in German cuisine. And this is precisely what makes our food culture an exciting blend of tradition and innovation that is as diverse as our scenery: from 'Pannfisch' fried fish in the North to green sauce and 'Bratwurst' sausages in Central Germany to dumplings, 'Maultaschen' pasta pockets and 'Eisbein' ham hock in the South – German cuisine has a delicious speciality to suit every palate.

You'll find German and Scandinavian elements in its culture and cuisine. Here's a recipe from the region to give you a taste of what to expect.

A Sauvignon Blanc with a dazzling bouquet of herbs, grass, gooseberry and green pepper is the perfect accompaniment.
