Saw a sister’s still used tiptopf book and immediately wanted to get her a new one. Thought I’d share how different it looks from almost 20 years ago. There’s been a lot of changes to how recipes are written and what recipes there are.

  1. So, if you want to know how to braid a zopf you need a mobile phone but you get a useless page with a picture of a zopf instead?

  2. I love this book, still use some recipes from this book.

    I was sad when they switched to the blue one (2008 edition IIRC? I had the brown one, the former one) because they removed all alcohol in recipes that made perfect sense to have alcohol in it.

    Giving an alternative would be enough for those who don’t drink alcohol, but they removed all traces of alcohol IIRC correctly. Fondue with apple juice ? Please.

    Which doesn’t make sense.

    And now you have information you need to find on the internet ?

    New edition is more modern looking , but it’s worse year after year. No alcohol, half of the instructions you have to find on the internet, why printing a book to begin with? Very sad as this book is the ultimate swiss recipe book.

    I’ll stick to the edition that I have, that my parents had, that is the best.

  3. Shrikflation, less stuff, more expensive, shittier. That’s Late stage capitalism.

  4. This is probably the most common book in switzetland – so many good memories😍

  6. I still have one from the 90ties and I’m so grateful to still have the old fashioned recipes there. My boys got cooking classes recently and came home with the new TipTopf. I’m glad for the more modern recipes but also don’t want to miss the old ones.
