Cherry Ice Cream
As I cannot eat and drink milk products, I thought I try and make a soy ice cream and voilá! It tastes good and is refreshing!
Apfel Topfen Taschen – Apple and Quark Filled Pastry Pockets
These delicious treats are found in bakery shops throughout Austria and Bavaria and are enjoyed as part of a continental breakfast or brunch with a cup of coffee. They are best made with authentic german quark “Recipe #476124”, but ricotta or even cream cheese can be substituted. Use canned apple pie filling or check out “Recipe #481442” for a homemade pie filling. This pastry can also be made without the apple pie filling, just increase the amount of cheese and sugar to taste.
Glazed Carrots With Caraway Seeds
Caraway seeds are very popular in Austria and feature in many recipes, mostly in root vegetables, cabbage and bread. The fragrant seeds blend wonderfully with the sweetness of the carrots and make an excellent side dish to roasts, turkey and game birds. Turnips, parsnips and rutabagas can be prepared and glazed in the same way, adjusting the cooking time as necessary.
Peach Melba With Amarena Cherries – Pfirsich Melba
In Austria, every Cafe and Ice Cream Parlor serves Peach Melba during the sommer months. I worked in an Ice Cream shop in Salzburg in the 1960’s, this is how we used to make it. Amarena cherries are available in Italian markets, they are dark red and have a slight almond aroma. Use real, only lightly sweetened whipping cream to garnish, serve with vanilla wafers.
Fish Cakes
i found this in a booklet from a local supermarket and it was just the thing i had planed for dinner tonight. I adopted it and added some more spices. It is great for potluck, brown bagging and can be frozen. They are high in protein and very tasty. Serve with any kind of your favorite sauce to make them special. For dinner we have a lot of green salad with them and some kind of tomato-based sauce.
