      Hi Sandra, I haven’t tried this with almond flour. It’s generally recommended to use a little less almond flour when making substitutions but without experimenting with it myself I can’t really say.

        The stollen was a huge hit too…so happy to have a recipe for that that isnt full of preservatives and chemicals and doesnt taste like cardboard! Also loved the hoisin sauce and black bean sauce recipes. You have a gift for knowing what ingredients are best made from scratch!

    Hi Kimberly,
    I have been making stollen for several years now from your recipe. It is always a big hit, and marzipan stollen has always been my favorite. Before finding your recipe I used to buy it. No more! Thank you so much!

        Hello Kimberley, I’m about to make your pfeffernusse recipe for the first time and wonder if your 350 deg F oven temperature is for a fan oven or not? The recipe sounds excellent, so thank you for publishing it, Catherine in the UK

          Last year I made the pfeffernusse and they turned out excellent. I am hoping to make them again this week.

    Dear Kimberly,

    I discovered your website a few years back when I was searching for authentic German Christmas cookie recipes to bake for the Reading (PA) Liederkranz Christkindlmarkt. I have been making your Bethmannchen and Mandelhornchen for the past few years now, to rave reviews up at our club. The cookies are deemed authentic and delicious by our German immigrant members of the club, and they sell very quickly! This year I added Magenbrot to my cookie baking list, and I am so pleased with those! Making my own candied orange peel and Lebkuchengewurtz was easy and important to the flavor! Thank you for being a wonderful, trustworthy resource for my German baking.

      Thank you, Mark, I’m so glad they’ve been a hit these past few years and I’m happy the Magenbrot was likewise a success! I agree, the homemade candied citrus peel and Lebkuchengewürz really make such a huge difference. Thanks again for your feedback and kind words. Merry Christmas!

    I really am going to take the plunge with your stollen recipie this year….my only question is about whether the recipie needs to be adjusted for high altitude? We are at close to 7,000 feet.

    Looking forward to a froliche Weinachten!

      Hi Sandra, I’m happy you’re taking that plunge! Yes, you will need to make some adjustments. I don’t have firsthand experience adjusting for 7,000 feet but there are numerous online guides. Here is one example: https://food52.com/blog/24630-high-altitude-baking-adjustments-guide. Happy baking and Merry Christmas!

    Hi Kimberly
    I have fond memories of making mince pies for the family when we lived in Yorkshire. We had Home Ec (Domestic Science?) where I learned to make a great recipe with shredded suet: we used Atora, just like in your photo! And then there’s the Christmas Cake… ah!
    When making mince pies using your canned / bottled mincemeat, I saw that the mincemeat has a good layer of fat on top. Do you somehow stir all that in, before spooning it into the little mince pies? I should imagine it would change the flavor and texture if you were to skim it off ~
    Thanks!
    Cecelia

      Hi Cecelia! Whether you stir it in or skim it off is entirely personal preference and no, skimming it off won’t alter/reduce the flavor or texture as there is still plenty fat incorporated in the mincemeat mixture. I generally don’t stir it all in, only some, and I actually like to use the leftover fat in other baked goods for a flavor boost (the flavored rendered suet is fabulous!).

      Thank you so much for the compliment, Lee! I have an authentic recipe for Schnitzbrot :) It’s from the Swabian region of Germany and goes by a few different names including Hutzelbrot, Früchtebrot and Schnitzbrot.

    Hi there! We are having our Thanksgiving this Saturday. I am planning on making your green bean casserole and au gratin potatoes. Can I make them today (Thursday) or is that too early? Should I wait until tomorrow? I have sooooo much cooking to do, trying to do anything ahead of time, thanks

    • Kimberly @ The Daring Gourmet says

      Hi Patricia, I wouldn’t make them more than one day ahead. Assemble (but don’t bake) the green bean casserole except for the French fried onions, cover with foil and refrigerate. The next day let it sit at room temp for 30 minutes or so, add the French fried onions and bake. Same with the au gratin potatoes and tightly wrap but don’t bake until the day you’re ready to eat it. Happy Thanksgiving!

    I have been all over your site and printed a number of recipes. I’m wondering if you have a recipe for steak and kidney pie. Being brought up in a British family, we ate this regularly. Restaurants tell me they can’t make it due to difficulty in finding good kidneys. Thanks for all you do.

      Thank you for the compliment, John! I don’t have a recipe for steak and kidney pie. My dad lived in England for a while in the 60’s and used to tell me all about the steak and kidney pies that were a staple dish then. Sourcing good kidneys as a home cook is likewise very challenging.

    I am making the Hungarian Ghoulash for a family gathering. I have used the servings function as I want to make 8 servings. My question is about the onions. With servings set for 8 does it really call for 3 lbs of chopped onions?

      Hi Mike, yes, that is correct. I know it sounds like a lot but those onions will cook down a ton.

    Hello Kimberly,

    I have tried many of you recipes and have loved everyone of them…This past weekend I made your Senfbraten recipe and it was outstanding.

    I have a question, we are making a pumpkin cheesecake for Thanksgiving and thought a Speculoos/ Windmill cookie crust would be a lovely addition for the base. Have you every used these cookies for a cookie crumb crust? If so, do you have any advice in preparing.

    Thank you kindly,

    Judy

      Thank you so much for your kind words, Judy, I appreciate it :) A speculoos crust is a fabulous idea! I would just crush and use them like I would crushed graham crackers, following the same basic graham cracker crust recipe.

    Your recipes seem quality, but Berchtesgarden is in Bavaria, not Swabia!

      Hi Justine, that is 100% correct and I can’t imagine I would have said otherwise. Where is it that you think I said Berchtesgaden is in Swabia?
