4.0 out of 5 stars Charming little cookbook, May 21, 2000

By	jeff afiouni (Sydney Australia) - See all my reviews

This book has back to back recipes and no pictures, which I found refreshing! It contains recipes for things I remember my grandmother had made but had never written down. I found it a jackpot of the really heart warming recipes that I thought I'd never get a chance to reproduce for my family and would heartily recommend it to others who want a no frills, sensible old style German/Austrian cookbook. The old family favourites like Salzburger Nockerln are certain to get you baking, even if the Lung Strudel never gets a fair go.....Enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Austrian chef tested this book and cooked 2/3 of recipes, July 30, 2005

By	B. Baumgartner (Austria) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am an Austrian chef and very interested in cookbooks; especially books that are written in English, for they are read worldwide and so influence what people think of Austrian cuisine, and how they cook if they want to cook Austrian. (...)
All in all that book is worth the money, most recipes are quite original, and the instructions are good. Photos would be helpful. For this price I would buy it again.

3.0 out of 5 stars Bland Offering of Exciting Cusine, May 16, 2002

By	rodboomboom (Dearborn, Michigan United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

Having some Austrian ancestry in me and having sampled some fine Austria fare, ventured to try and find a good source. This isn't completely what I am looking for.

Recipes are too basic, not enough purchasing and prep hints. No photos whatsoever to entice.

Did find some interesting stuff, though: Wuerstelbraten, Galantine of Chicken, Souffle Rothschild.

For baking, see "Kaffehaus" by Rick Rodgers; for Austrian cooking, see W. Pauk.
