Ich habe einige alte Bücher in der Sammlung meines Großvaters gefunden. Dieses hier stach besonders hervor, weil es das einzige war, das komplett auf Deutsch war.
Außerdem ist es extrem alt, wie man an der Bindung erkennen kann. Ich möchte das Buch kaum öffnen, weil ich es nicht beschädigen möchte.
Aber es scheint ein ganzer Katalog deutscher Kochrezepte zu sein. Das Buch enthält außerdem über 200 Suppenrezepte.
Gibt es dieses Buch in gedruckter Form in Deutschland?

praktisches kochbuch für die deutschen in amerika
There are some for sale, just google the above name, you will find exactly the same one.
Looks like this version:
Henriette Davidis
Brumder’s Verlag, 1897, Hardcover/gebunden
https://books.google.de/books/about/Praktisches_Kochbuch_F%C3%BCr_Die_Deutschen.html?id=GibLsgEACAAJ&source=kp_book_description&redir_esc=y
It is called *Praktisches Kochbuch für die Deutschen in America,* „practical cooking book for Germans in America“. So I’d assume it is a US production.
That is not in print anymore for a long time. I made a quick google research in Germany and found out that that it is kind of open commons because copyrights ran out a long time ago. BTW a copy in good condition is offered for 350€
An interesting detail, st least in my eyes, is that this is based on the 36th Edition of Henriette Davidis‘ German Cookbook, but the second American Edition done by Hedwig Voß.
So it seems this was genuinely a German cookbook for a while before being brought to the states by settlers and then edited (but obviously not translated) to include typical American ingredients and dishes.
The author Henriette Davidis was born and died in Germany, theres an article about her in the german wikipedia with a long paragraph about that book – and a museum just 4 km from here.
I **knew** that name sounded familiar.
