A common Swiss German expression of agreement and acceptance is “Tip Top.” So what better name for the standard issue school cookbook than the pun: Tiptopf (Topf is German for pot). The French version is called Croqu’menus, and in Italian it’s Cosa Bolle in Pentola? (which directly translates as “What Bubbles in the Pot?” but basically means “What’s Cooking?”). A teacher in Laax, in the Romansch-speaking part of Switzerland, even made a version, called Mintgin Cuschin, in the fourth national language.
