Recipes from Austria
From Wiener Schnitzel to Salzburger Nockerl and Kaiserschmarrn
Introduction
Austrian recipes tell stories of traditional inns, farms, family kitchens and the Habsburg Monarchy. A country’s specialities reveal a lot about it, including how open it has been to other cultures. Beyond Tafelspitz (boiled beef), goulash and apple strudel, Austrian cuisine has much more to offer. There are potato dishes, dumplings in countless variations, soups and stews, and Mehlspeisen (cakes, pastries and other sweet dishes) that taste different from region to region. You’ll also find fish from Austria’s lakes and rivers, as well as vegetarian and vegan dishes that show how varied Austrian specialities are.
Here you’ll find Austrian recipes for every day and for special occasions: tried-and-tested classics, cakes and desserts, seasonal ideas and meat-free dishes. Use the recipe filter to find what you’re in the mood for. Many Austrian dishes began with simple ingredients and have been handed down for generations. Try them out and give them your own twist.
