Rotkohl (German Braised Red Cabbage)

Rotkohl is the braised red cabbage that sits next to almost every German roast from October onwards: shredded cabbage cooked down for an hour with apple, onion, vinegar and cloves until it goes glossy and deep purple. The vinegar is not only there for taste. The pigment in red cabbage works like a pH indicator, and without acid the pot turns a murky blue-grey, which is also why the same vegetable is called Blaukraut in Bavaria and Rotkohl in the north. It tastes better on the second day, so most households cook it the night before the roast and take one job off the table.

Spekulatius (German Spiced Christmas Biscuits)

Spekulatius are thin, crisp spiced shortcrust biscuits stamped with a picture before baking, known in the Netherlands and Belgium as speculaas and baked across the Rhineland and Westphalia for Sankt Nikolaus on 6 December. The dough is a butter shortcrust built around a home-mixed spice blend of cinnamon, clove, cardamom, nutmeg, ginger, allspice and white pepper, with ground almonds folded in for a short, sandy bite. Traditionally the picture comes from a carved wooden mould, a Model, but an embossed rolling pin or an ordinary cookie cutter gives the same biscuit without ever owning one. The 60 minutes here covers mixing, shaping and two trays in the oven; the dough itself needs to rest in the fridge overnight, and the biscuits only crisp up fully once they cool. Makes about 45 thin biscuits, five to a serving.
