the book is in English. Many expressions for Kuechenkraeuter or spices in English I did not know. I daraufin on Google first all the ingredients that I knew not translated and did this purely written in the first and last page, so that I now understand each prescription and can be found in the book of great recipes. Only "Liquid Smoke" a liquid usually concentrated ingredient on the US market in every supermarket available, one should ask before purchasing problems in good old Germany but. But it is about Spezailshops also available here. Garlic powder or the like, but I would always replace with fresh ingredients. Terms such as chopped or quartered Onions for example should already know or can easily fathom. This book is therefore suited to the American key to fathom for easy english people just fine even in our latitudes.
