2 The Finest Viennese Cuisine The Origins of Viennese Cuisine An Italian influence dating back to around 1600 can still be identified today in the names used for ingredients and dishes: Risibisi, Melanzani, Maroni, Biskotte, Zitrone. In the 18 th century, a French influence began to make its mark due to French etiquette and the French language spoken in diplomatic circles. Hence, it became common practice in the bourgeois world to use the term bouillon when referring to soup. By the end of the 18 th century, the term Viennese cuisine appeared in German-language cookery books and it was mistakenly believed to be the same as Austrian cuisine. Katharina Prato s South German Cuisine, published in 1858, was one of the first cookery books to include Hungarian, South Slav, Polish, Italian, Jewish and Bohemian items alongside Austria, and especially Viennese, cuisine. Traditional Viennese cuisine is shaped by the early influence of immigrants from the countries and regions of the Dual Monarchy of Austria-Hungary from 1867 to 1918 Due to the city s position close to the border of Hungary, Bohemia and Moravia, it is predominantly dishes from these countries which are found on menus. This is how the Viennese versions of goulash, including Viennese goulash, fiaker goulash and gypsy goulash, and strudel, with its extremely thin dough, kneaded by hand an influenced by Turkish cuisine, came to Vienna from Hungary. It was mainly pastry items which came from Bohemia, such as Golatschen, which are Viennese pastries, and Palatschinken which are Viennese pancakes. In addition, dumplings, which are served with roast pork, also came from Bohemia.

5 The roast Roasting on a grill is one of the oldest cooking methods and was already known in Roman times. Finds of utensils from that time (such as grills) as well as Roman cookbooks are evidence of this cooking technique. The Roman cookbook "De re coquinaria" by Apicius (from the second half of the 1st century BC) already contains a recipe for meat rolls, which are dried on a grill over a small fire following browning in an oven. Medieval cookbooks also mention roasting on a grill as a preparation method. While previously the roast was prepared on a grill, gradually frying and stewing in a pan became more popular. The "Nützliches Koch-Buch" cookbook (published in Steyr, in Upper Austria) by Ignaz Gartler describes a method intermediate between roasting and stewing. Around 1800 Viennese cuisine was already familiar with the roasted, stewed, stuffed, minced and baked roast, as well as with onion roast, roast in a cream sauce, with cabbage, Malaga (= wine) and baked and boiled onions. There was also the roast with garlic, on its own, with potatoes, with rice and tomatoes, and with anchovies. J.M. Heitz (1902) calls the onion roast "Rostbraten aux oignons à la Viennoise", suggesting a close link to Vienna. The roast can be made in many different ways.

9 Austrian Wine Precious culture, extraordinary delight By international standards, Austria is a small, but exquisite wine country, producing no runof-the-mill wine, but a rarity. Austrian wine is currently considered one of the most interesting phenomena of the world of wine. It is found on all good menus, highly valued by wine connoisseurs and praised by journalists - some even talk about the Austrian wine wonder. What makes Austrian wine so special? There are many reasons for this, and the interplay of all factors has made the unique quality boom of the past few decades possible. Tradition is one of the most crucial factors: Wine has been grown on the territory of present-day Austria for thousands of years. Vines are part of our landscape, culture and everyday life. Another important factor is the typical grape varieties, many of which are exclusively grown in Austrian wine-growing regions. In combination with ideal climatic and geological conditions, they are ideally suited to produce authentic, distinctive wines with character and personality. But of course all this is not possible without the dedication of the people behind it. Over the past few years, Austrian winemakers have successfully merged winegrowing traditions with state-of-the-art processing technologies. Quality without compromise was their motto and absolute success was the result.
