WHY SAUERKRAUT??

Well, Sauerkraut is known to be the German food. The „Krauts“ in Australia celebrated German Week! And we had prepared for a delightful night of food at the magnificent Lumiere Studio in the company of Miele Appliances. But there was not only Sauerkraut 😉

While contestants and judges attended the cooking show you were able to join in via our live stream (full video link at the bottom) – thanks Carlos from H2H Studios! Yes you can still cook with us in real time, both recipes are published below! You will also find out more about VIPs, contestants and judges when you scroll down.

On 6 Oct at 6-7:30pm you were able to join us for the inaugural German Week cooking comp!

Did you know?! Sauerkraut Fun Facts:

• In Germany, the average per capita consumption of sauerkraut is approximately 2.6 pounds, down from 4.4 pounds 40 years ago.
• In WWI and WWII, the slang word “kraut” was used to refer to sailors and ultimately all German soldiers because of the long history of German ships being outfitted with Sauerkraut as part of daily food rations to prevent scurvy.
• In the 18th century, explorers like Captain Cook used sauerkraut to prevent scurvy during long sea voyages, bringing as much as 25,000 pounds of the Vitamin-C rich ferment along on voyages. 
• The Germans gave sauerkraut its popular name but the Germans did not invent sauerkraut. (The ancient Chinese did while building the Great Wall of China!)
