What is indigenous about Austrian cuisine? The answer is simple.
Austrian's have a huge sweet tooth, and this predilection is reflected by
the preoccupation with sweet Mehlspeisen (literally, "flour
dishes") and confections.
|
Many of the famous Austrian recipes, wheather Sachertorte or Salzburger
Nockerl, Kaiserschmarrn or Marillenknödel, fall into this
category, and are the shining highlights of every Austrian kitchen -
cookies, desserts, pastries, cakes of every description. Apart from Mehlspeisen
a variety of meat dishes, venison and fowl recipes can be found in
Austria.

woodlands and mountain pastures, its orchards and vineyards.
The leading Austrian chefs de cuisine are making their mark on the
international culinary scene, while the country's foremost wines
regularly garner top prizes at international tastings. Today, Austria
