Sacher Torte

A traditional Austrian torte. The original Sacher-Torte has been famous since 1832 and the original recipe a well-kept secret. I have not yet tried this recipe made with gluten free flour. Best made with good quality dark chocolate

Old World Butter-Nut Drops

These beautiful little cookies with a decided old-world taste are perfect for Christmas. I got the recipe from my great-aunt who made it for the family Christmas dinner for years before she turned the recipe over to my mother. Candied cherries contribute to the beauty of the cookies and I suppose it is the Brazil nuts that contribute to the taste. All I know is, they are delicious! Chilling time is not included in the preparation time.

Hot Chocolate With Peppermint

Ive been so cold lately and was searching for something minty and chocolatey. This one from a local news show warms you from the inside out and rivals a hot chocolate that I once had in Austria. Yummy! Makes 2 large portions or 4 normal sized ones.

Viennese Shortbread Biscuits

This is my dear friend Fouzia Parkar’s recipe. She is a thorough expert in baking and is a miracle cook too:) I’m sure these will leave you wanting for more, so give it a shot!
