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.
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.
If I would need to choose one cake in the whole world it would be poppy seed cake. You might have difficulties finding ground poppy seed in your country as it is forbidden in some as it is said to be addictive. This is a fact in my country of emigration so please think of me when you have your helping on this wonderful cake! NOTE: Semolina is wheat flour
