Gerhild Fulson – A Passion for German Recipes

by: Gerhild Fulson  /  Using her extensive experience and cultural knowledge, Oma Gerhild provides trusted, authentic, and easy-to-follow German recipes both here and in her many cookbooks.

Welcome to my kitchen! I’m Gerhild Fulson, a German Oma (grandmother) who’s passionate about sharing authentic, easy-to-make German recipes with you.

Cooking and baking have always been ways for me to celebrate my heritage and keep family traditions alive, and I’m thrilled to help you bring a taste of Germany into your own home.

My Culinary Journey

Oma Gerhild Fulson

I was born in Germany but grew up in Canada, where I enjoyed the mega lecker (super delicious) flavors of the German dishes my Mutti cooked.

She had to experiment with the ingredients available here to recreate the beloved flavors of home, and I learned from her as she adjusted and perfected each recipe.

Watching her adapt traditional dishes inspired me to do the same, ensuring that these cherished recipes could be enjoyed, no matter where we lived.

Cooking became a way to connect with my roots and share a piece of my German heritage with family and friends.

Today, I’m honored to share these recipes with you through my website, Just Like Oma, so that you too can enjoy the flavors of Germany.

Bringing German Cuisine to Your Kitchen

I’ve refined these recipes over the years, testing and perfecting them based on feedback from family, friends, and my wonderful community of readers.

Each dish is designed to bring authentic German flavors to your table with easy-to-follow instructions.

My passion for sharing these recipes has also led me to publish several cookbooks, including:

• German Meals at Oma's – a collection of traditional German regional favorites.
• Baking Just Like Oma – filled with classic recipes from Apfelkuchen to Streuselkuchen.
• Cooking Just Like Oma – a collection of my most-loved traditional recipes.
• Soups & Stews Just Like Oma – perfect for hearty, comforting meals.
• Plus, over a dozen eBooks covering a variety of German dishes and baking specialties

Ministry & Mission

My husband Andy (Rev. Andy Fulson, also known as Pastor Wolle) and I have traveled to Germany, ministering and teaching in small house groups and churches.

Through our Gottes Wort Facebook page, which has grown to over 190,000 followers, and our Gottes Wort website, we continue reaching German-speaking believers worldwide.

This unexpected global connection led us to expand into Portuguese with A Palavra De Deus and recently into English with God's Word for Today.

To help fund these efforts, I started Just Like Oma and Tour My Germany, with all profits supporting the ministry.

This love for sharing also extends to my passion for cooking.

Why You Can Trust My Recipes

Mega Lecker!

During our many trips to Germany, I loved enjoying the country’s incredible food and gathering recipes from all over.

I would bring these ideas home and recreate them using local ingredients, ensuring they stayed as authentic as possible while being accessible to everyone.

I understand how important it is to follow recipes you can rely on, especially when cooking for your loved ones. My recipes are tested in my own kitchen, where I’ve spent countless hours making sure they turn out just right.

In addition, I’ve been featured in various media outlets, such as the “Love You a Brunch” podcast with Jodi Stapler, where I’ve shared my love for German cooking.

These opportunities have allowed me to connect with food lovers around the world and share my passion for German cuisine, helping others discover and appreciate its rich flavors and traditions.

Connecting with You

I’m not just here to provide recipes – I’m here to build a community of fellow food lovers who cherish the traditions and flavors of Germany.

I invite you to explore my website, try the recipes, and share your experiences. If you ever have questions or need help with a recipe, I’m just a message away.

You can also sign up for my newsletter, where I regularly share new recipes, cultural insights, and all things German! Stay connected and never miss a delicious update.

You can reach me through my Contact Page or connect with me on social media. I’d love to hear from you and see how my recipes turn out in your kitchen!

Thank you for joining me on this culinary and spiritual journey. Together, we can celebrate the joy of cooking and the blessings that come from sharing good food and God's love with those around us.
