Lost German Recipes Question

Hello! Guten Tag! I was wanting to know if I could get some help with finding older recipes/cookbooks. My Oma was born in East Prussia before the second world war, and because of dementia has forgotten most of her recipes, none of which were written down. We are slowly recreating things that we saw her make once or twice, like her Potato Salad. But recipes like her homemade Saurkraut, Goulash, Deviled Eggs, and even Mashed Potatoes have been completely lost so far sadly. I was just wanting to know if you could send recipes from your Oma's or pages from cookbooks to help me get a leg up on recreating these!

Her Mashed potatoes were smooth, no chunks, no skins, and she would put something into them, maybe a cream? These were the best mashed potatoes I've ever eaten. We would eat the Mashed Potatoes along with corn and her Goulash on top. Her Goulash looked hungarian, but a little thicker.

Hopefully some of these descriptions help, Thanks a ton for any help!



bon appetit
