[Sca-cooks] OOP: Late 19th/early 20th century German cookbook

[Robin Carroll-Mann]

You remember a while back I had an old German cookbook from
the used bookstore?  I sent it off to a good home in Drachenwald,
though I don't remember who I sent it to.  The sender of the
message below evidently found my message in the archives.  She
thinks it might have a recipe that she is seeking.  Could the
recipient of the cookbook (or anyone else) help her?  Her email is
posted below, with her permission (she REALLY wants this recipe).

Thanks.

I saw your email today, while I was searching for a recipe I tasted
about fifteen years ago in France.  I was staying with a friend  in
Normandy, as a guest of her father's.  He was a  79  year old
gentleman from Koln who refused to set foot again in Germany after
having fled the Nazis, but HAD to have his home cookin'.  Anyway,
he
would always have us (my friend and her man-I am helpless around
a
stove) make his favorite dessert, chocolate streusel.  It is a RICH
RICH RICH chocolate streusel topping on a slightly sweet bread
base.
The recipe came out of a cookbook such as you describe- a basic
starter for new brides.  If you still have it I would love to know if
that particular recipe is in there and trade you some of my fabulous
handmade soaps for it.
