Cook and Talk English

Ginger Wade's Cook and Talk English class meets Tuesday nights at 7:30 p.m. in her kitchen in Hamburg's St. Pauli neighborhood. Following recipes sometimes self-created, or often stolen from other internet sites, we cook together and socialize in English whilst eating vegetarian (not British!) food. Most classes we choose a theme or a region and cook in that style - the goal here is not necessarily authenticity, but enjoyment! Feel free to ask any questions at gingerwade (at) hotmail . com . Enjoy!

Useful link: http://www.botanical.com/botanical/cvcookix.html provides conversion guidelines between Metric and U.S. measures. It's not that difficult, really!

Also, check out our Resources: places to buy good stuff in Hamburg.

Now that Cook & Talk English has been running for over four (!) years, I'm trying to tame the one giant page into some small semblance of order. Every few months - or year, now that we're once a month - will have an individual page, thus reducing download time. Unfortunately, I'm a cook and teacher, not a webmaster - so I can't provide you with a separate page for each recipe - though I've finally figured out how to send you directly to the theme, and I'm slowly updating that part.

Tip: If you hit "Ctrl" and "F" at the same time, a pop-up box appears, and you'll be able to search the page for the exact recipe you want to see (or specific ingredients).

Send me feedback, I love to hear it: gingerwade (at) hotmail dot com

Good eating!
