Esterhazy Torte/Esterhazyschnitten/Almond Meringue Slices

This is not a simple recipe but it’s worth it! It’s from the cookbook, “Kaffeehaus: Exquisite Desserts from the Classic Cafés of Vienna, Budapest, and Prague” by Rick Rodgers. It is composed of six thin, nut meringue layers made with a mixture of ground hazelnuts and almonds (you can also use just almonds or just hazelnuts). The layers are filled with a kirsch buttercream and the top layer is covered with an apricot glaze and is then covered with a faux fondant icing which is feathered with melted dark chocolate (it looks like a Napolean). You can make this 2 days ahead, cover and refrigerate.

Mohnkranzerl Aus Hefeteig (Poppy Seed Rolls)

By Jennifer McGavin. These Poppy Seed Rolls are an Austrian specialty, often served with coffee or brunch. There are just a few options offered in making these great rolls, which stretches the instructions to the point that it appears rather complicated. But it’s not a complicated recipe.

Anzac

Originally it was a recipe for Australian cookies which someone Icelandic made healthy and I made it even healthier, so now it is Austrian. Today, when waiting for the first plate getting ready in the oven i realized that my dream of publishing a cookbook could become true one day. i have told myself it could not as i feel not like having invented lots of recipes myself. On the other hand, I change EVERY SINGLE RECIPE I ever look at and try out so that is just about the same as the just give me an idea and some basic input. I am feeling content about this and feel grateful that I realized that.
