Hot out of the oven and into the kitchens of foodies everywhere comes Dorothy Zehnder's much anticipated cookbook -- an 80-year collection of recipes, wisdom and stories from her life as the Bavarian Inn's much beloved matriarch. “Come Cook With Me" is a delicious love story for the millions of adoring customers who've gathered under the iconic Glockenspiel in Frankenmuth to feast on buttered Spaetzle, Schnitzel and Apple Kuchen. "Come Cook with Me" is brimming with some 290 recipes along with rich stories of her family's 60 years in business.

Dorothy has been in Bavarian Inn's kitchen since day one -- more than 60-years ago. And that's where you'll still find her six days and up to 60-hours a week - an exhausting schedule for a woman half her age. However, her mother always told her ‘get to work, pretty soon you will feel better'. She gets energy and enjoyment working with the Bavarian Inn team.

It contains recipes that have been in Dorothy's family for more than a century, several never before shared with the public. That includes such favorites as the Bavarian Inn's Rouladen (beef rolls), warm German potato salad, Kartoffelkaeseknoedel (potato cheese puffs), cranberry relish and her famous bread pudding.
