From Vorarlberg to Burgenland: All the treasures of peasant cuisine in one volume. Franz Maier-Bruck has collected the entire diversity of Austrian peasant cuisine and home cooking for this book: from cookbooks of past times, from experienced cooks in all nine provinces, he collected recipes, cooking traditions, festive customs and methods of storage. In this book, things that were almost thought to be lost become a new culinary experience: from simple soups to the endless variety of strudels and noodles, Sterzen and Schmarren, Nockerln and dumplings to the festive works of art of a Blattlstock or Innviertler Affen. The standard work of the rural cuisine in Austria.
