Get a taste of Germany with tourist board?s mouth-watering microsite

The German National Tourist Board (GNTO) has launched a new microsite on its website, complete with free downloadable recipes, providing a tempting itinerary of regional food specialities across Germany?s 16 Federal States.

As food tourism becomes increasingly popular, did you know that Berlin is currently styling itself as the vegan capital of Europe? Or that Saxony-Anhalt region has a special soup for newlyweds? For fish specialities holidaymakers might wish to head to Bremen and Hamburg, or perhaps travel to the coastal region of Schleswig Holstein for vegetable stew or to North-Rhine Westphalia for the Christmas gingerbreads known as ?Aachener Printen?. F

rom Brandenburg?s Pear Cake with a mousse cream topping to the traditional Thuringian sausage seasoned with marjoram, caraway seeds and garlic (and made to a now protected 600 year old recipe), the GNTO will be celebrating culinary Germany throughout 2018 and has put together all these recipes and a wide range of culinary inspirational content on its website.

Beatrix Haun, director of the GNTO UK and Ireland, said: ?Almost nothing else says more about a country and its people than the national cuisine and associated traditions. German food is diverse, cosmopolitan and offers something for all tastes. You can explore local, affordable family run inns, or choose from Germany?s 300 Michelin Starred restaurants; try the delectable seasonal delicacies such as white asparagus and there are hundreds of regional bread variations! Plus, Germany?s restaurant scene and buzzy food markets are going through an exciting period of innovative ideas and new twists on traditional favourites.?

The year-end statistics for international, incoming tourism to Germany throughout 2017 showed a record rise for the eighth year in a row; the UK registered a rise of 0.5% measure in overnight stays and 2017 saw 4.6% for visitors from Ireland, compared to 2016. City breaks remain one of the most popular reasons for travel to Germany and trying local food specialities one of the most popular pastimes for visitors.

Haun added: ?There are plenty of ideas for destinations, places to go and things to see in Germany ? and of course the regional foodie favourites, with superb local wine and beer ? to be found on germany.travel?
