Hungarian Cabbage Rolls
Handed down from my husband’s grandmother who came from Hungary on her honeymoon through Ellis Island. I am sure it was changed slightly to American-type ingredients.

Beef Paprika Stew Viennese Style (Gulash)
There are many varieties of this dish. The Hungarians cook it a lil different, than the Austrians and Viennese people have their own Gulash recipes going on. So if you order the same dish in Vienna and in Hungary you probably are going to get 2 different dishes. Here I talk about a Gulash based on a Austrian / Viennese Style. It’s basically beef broth, Hungarian Paprika powder (it really makes a difference what kind of paprika powder you use.. so don’t expect it to come out that great – in Austria we grave that dish – if you substitute the paprika powder with anything you have at home that comes close ). I like that dish cause you can use it in so many ways. We eat dumblings, potatoes, spaetzles (its a german style pasta), Franks, rolls with it and it makes us very happy.
Austrian Tafelspitz
Tafelspitz is boiled beef in broth, Viennese style and is a typical Austrian dish. The beef is simmered along with root vegetables and spices in the broth. It is usually served with roasted slices of potato and a mix of minced apples and horseradish or sour cream mixed with horseradish. Franz Joseph I, Emperor of Austria, was a great lover of Tafelspitz. According to the 1912 official cookery textbook used in domestic science schools of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, “His Majesty’s private table is never without a fine piece of boiled beef, which is one of his favorite dishes.” Tafelspitz is considered to be the national dish of Austria.
Baeckoefe
My 3 friends and I tried a lot of different dishes when travelling in Austria. Our policy was to always order something different – and never the same dish twice. This is a tasty meat and potato stew. I do forego the ‘pastry lid’ as I have a pretty good oven casserole dish and little steam escapes.
