Anyone who has visited Germany and endulged in the cuisine knows there are many delicious items on the menu. It is important to remember an old German saying;

Liebe geht durch den Magen

(Love goes through the stomach)




Some German recipes are not difficult to make with ingredients from the typical American supermarket. To assist you in preparing some of these recipes we are including some conversion charts to make it easier for those comfortable with either the Metric or U.S. systems of measurement.

Temperature Conversion Formulas

For those who are curious how to convert temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius or vice versa, here are the appropriate formulas;

Temperature in Fahrenheit -32 and divide the result by 1.8

Temperature in Celsius times 1.8 and add 32

Example : 68 degrees Fahrenheit -32 = 36/1.8 = 20 degrees Celsius

Example : 20 degrees Celsius times 1.8 = 36 plus 32 = 68 degrees Fahrenheit
