Want to know what’s been cooking in local New Braunfels kitchens, or you can’t quite remember that one family member’s cake you’ve been hunting down the recipe for? Guten Appetit! This is the cookbook for you! 

Inside is a brief history on the Sophienburg Museum and a compilation of home-style remedies and recipes brought over from Germany by the early pioneers of New Braunfels. We have beverages like Brandy or Traubensaft (Grape Juice).  

What about Watermelon Pickles? Or maybe Dandelion Wine made with real dandelions, and desserts like Mushroom Cookies with fresh mushrooms and chocolate. Not the ingredients you thought you would see in a recipe but take it for a spin! Just make sure to wash the dandelions and mushrooms beforehand. 

Purchase Guten Appetit! in the Sophie’s Shop at the Sophienburg Museum and dive into more unique recipes by local New Braunfels residents.
