recipe for Black Forest Gateau
This appears at the end of the recipe: Wir wünschen Ihnen gutes Gelingen !
I understand this but was looking for a suitable form of words. I'd thought of just saying "Enjoy!" but that does not seem adequate.

: I see where you're coming from, but this might not be something you'd want to see at the end of a recipe - it almost suggests that following the recipe won't be enough to ensure it turns out well!
