DH took me to an Austrian themed restaurant and, as we perused the menu, the table next to us was served. He immediately said “I’ll have what they are having!” Unfortunately they were having the last available servings of a house special. He was crushed. The “house” wasn’t into sharing their recipe. Just based on “eye-balling” the dish I came up with this, which got the DH seal of approval. Serve with boiled new potatoes, steamed cabbage or spiced red cabbage. We like Baked Latkes #48494 and Dill Green Beans #7767 with this.
My mother used to make this and she always referred to it as “tomatokraut.” It was, and is, one of my favorite side dishes. This usually yields about 3 quarts. To complete the meal, you can slice chunks of kielbasa or knockwurst into this towards the end to heat them through, and serve with plain boiled potatoes. Enjoy!
A very fancy cookie that I always enjoy. This recipe was given to me by my German teacher. A very big thank you!

This is supposedly a recipe that Marie Antoinette took with her from Austria to France, where it became increasingly popular. It is traditionally baked in a special Kugelhopf mold, which gives it a festive look (it can be made in a tube pan) Thus it makes a delightful holiday bread. Kugelhopf is an excellent coffee cake or breakfast bread, especially with fresh butter and honey. It can also be served topped with fruit, and makes delicious toast indeed. I seached for this recipe for many years and finally found a Canadian Chef on the internet who was kind enough to give me this one… I get excited over this recipe because I am now 67 yrs old and I can remember my German Grandmother sitting at the kitchen table when I was 5 years old, beating this dough with a wooden spoon…what a wonderful memory and taste !!!
