Recipes From Austria



Austrian cuisine is well known throughout the world. Austria was once the center of a vast empire, and its cuisine reflects the food traditions of over a dozen nations. The traditional Austrian diet is based on veal, pork, and chicken, and Austrians are famous for their rich but delicate pastries.
Wiener Schnitzel

Wiener Schnitzel

Wiener schnitzel is perhaps the most famous Austrian specialty. Consisting of pounded (thin) cutlets of veal that are egged, breaded, and fried to a golden color, this treat is best eaten when it is fresh and hot. Typically, Wiener schnitzel is served with a green salad and fried potatoes, potato chips, or boiled potatoes sprinkled with chopped parsley.
