The book has over 500 pages and 500 recipes – from classic European cuisine to West German cuisine to international dishes. It is particularly appreciated for its systematicity: the chapters are classified by ingredients (meat, fish, vegetables, pasta, cakes, etc.), and each recipe has exact weights, step-by-step instructions, preparation time and number of people.
The most famous parts:
- detailed tables for roasting meat and conversion of measurements
- a large selection of cakes and tarts (Black Forest, Sacher, Linz)
- basic fondues, sauces and techniques that were then new in Yugoslavia
- over 450 color photographs of dishes
For generations of housewives in the 1980s and 1990s, this book was a “kitchen bible” – expensive, but worth every penny. Many received it as a wedding gift and still use it. It is still sought after in second-hand bookshops today because the recipes are proven, precise and “always work”. A true culinary heritage of a time.
