What is a Cookbook?

German Christmas Baking.
Germany is famous for Christmas baking and indeed a German Christmas is filled with many delectable treats. Christstollen, also called Chrisbrot, Stutenbrot or Striezl, constitutes Germany’s most famous Christmas cake or bread. To make it bakers enhance sweet yeast dough with dried fruits, various fruit peels, almonds and spices. After baking they apply a coating of sugar icing. Baumkuchen, or tree cake, serves as another special Christmas or Advent treat. The log shaped cake is prepared in such a way that each slice is imprinted with concentric circles resembling tree rings. Gingerbread is another German Christmas favorite. As well as being shaped into cookies it is also used for Gingerbread Houses. Other, well known, German Christmas cookies include Lebkuchen, Pfeffernusse and Springerle. German bakers also produce other Christmas treats from Germany’s storehouse of cookie recipes, including vanilla rings, cinnamon stars and various kinds of nut cookies, spice cookies, macaroons, marzipan and more.

Cooking.
Cooking is the act of preparing food for eating by the application of heat. It encompasses a vast range of methods, tools and combinations of ingredients to alter the flavor or digestibility of food. It is the process of selecting, measuring and combining ingredients in an ordered procedure in an effort to achieve the desired result. Factors affecting the final outcome include the variability of ingredients, ambient conditions, tools, and the skill of the individual doing the actual cooking.
