A peek on Austria´s cuisine

Since cooking is one of my hobbies, I researched Austria´s cuisine and I discovered an amazing variety of deliciousness!

Vienna features one of the world´s most famous culinary traditions. This city´s mix of different nationalities and food cultures, reflects on the vast range of dishes you have to choose from. I have a few specialties that I strongly suggest to try when you are in town.

My favorite is a dessert named Kaiserschmarren, which according to the legend, was invented for the Emperor Franz Joseph! It´s made of shredded pancake and stewed fruit, and it tastes delicious!

And, of course, you simply just can´t be in Vienna and not try the world´s famous Wiener  Schnitzel! This specialty originates from the Italian "costoletta milanese", and it is bread crumbed and fried veal, usually served with another delicious specialty, Erdäpfel Salad ( a side dish made from potatoes). For the traditional Wiener Schnitzel, the Viennese normally use veal, and lard to fry it, but if you want to try this at home, you can also use pork, chicken or turkey and oil to fry it. It will taste just as delicious either way!
