Oktoberfest officially ended Sunday, but the traditional foods served during the celebration (sauerkraut, spaetzle, pork schnitzel and Polish sausage) are welcome dinner dishes for cooler evenings. I picked up some authentic recipes and preparation tips from Alec Schrader, executive chef at The Club at Flying Horse, during a recent cooking class.

We can thank Crown Prince Ludwig and Princess Therese of Bavaria for the Oktoberfest celebrations that take place this time of year. The first Oktoberfest was not really a festival at all, but the public celebration of their wedding," says Lucy Saunders, author of a Web site, Beercook.com, and five cookbooks, including "Grilling with Beer" (2006) and "Cooking with Beer" (1996).

Organizers have thrown a few new wrinkles into this weekend's Dayton Art Institute Oktoberfest, but they're not about to mess with the festival's basic formula for success: beer, food, wine, arts, entertainment and ... did we mention beer? Those swept up into the Oktoberfest spirit will have their choice of 28 or so brews, everything from ol' reliable Miller Genuine Draft to Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier from the oldest continuously operating brewery in the world. My beer aficionado colleague Jim Witmer explores all things brew-related in an accompanying story, including the "Craft Draft" truck pouring five luxury microbrews from tap.

October seems an ideal time to explore German cuisine, specifically Oktoberfest fare. I thought I'd look beyond bratwurst and beer, so I called my friend Martina Hart, who grew up in L nen, in northwestern Germany, for some guidance on alternative Oktoberfest menus.

Oktoberfest in Germany is officially over, since it began at the end of September and ran through the first weekend in October. If schedules or budgets precluded a trip to Deutschland this year, Oktoberfest enthusiasts can still recreate an authentic Oktoberfest experience at home. Food served during Oktoberfest consists of hearty fare. Whole chickens are grilled on a spit and roasted meats are served with red cabbage, sauerkraut or potato dumplings. Traditional German rouladen often appear as a seasonal specialty on restaurant menus. They make a fine comfort food for a cool autumn afternoon or evening meal.
