If I do cook german cuisine, I will usually use Henriette Davidis book, it is detailed yet simple, and unpretentious, which I don't often find in good cookbooks. Apparently the db even has her book in English, so if people here are interested in cooking german food, I think it is a really good recommendation. One of my favorite aspects is how she will usually give recommendations about using everything that you might usually think is trash. If you're cooking on a budget, these old cookbooks are actually incredibly helpful.
