This cookie recipe for Linzer Sables require a little effort, but they are so beautiful and tasty. The recipe is from one of my favourite cookbooks, “Baking: From My Home to Yours”, by Dorie Greenspan. For a simpler cookie, omit the cutouts, although it does make beautiful cookies. You can dust these with confectioner’s sugar just before serving. Both dough and cookies freeze well (without the sugar dusting). Dough requires 45 minute chilling time.
Signature dish of the Restaurant Franziskanerplatz in Vienna, Austria. Recipe from a clipping in my grandmother’s recipe box. The recipe recommends grilling the tenderloins to just rare but you don’t have to.
This simple Austrian fried potato dish was historically a staple for the poor. It’s so tasty and is now popular throughout Austria and Southern Germany.
My most memorable meal to date was many years ago when our family was on a European vacation. We stopped at an inn on the Plansee in Austria (Tyrol). The rainbow trout was freshly caught from the lake (Plansee) the same day. It was simply fried whole and served with fried potatoes and a garden salad. We sat outside with an amazing view of the lake and the mountains. The air smelled so fresh and clear. This recipe is close, but I rarely get rainbow trout as fresh as we had that day. I don’t serve it whole as the family doesn’t like their food to stare back at them!
