I bought this book as a gift for friends of mine who love Austrian cuisine. I am from Austria and was disappointed with this book. Aside from many spelling errors in the German titels of the foods, there is a picture of Innsbruck (ever heard of the Golden Roof that it is famous for?) and it says ... Austrians and tourists alike enjoy... Salzburg! Could have maybe overlooked that fact but the Sachertorte in this cookbook looks nothing like a Sachertorte I have ever seen anywhere in Austria. Save your money and have somebody bring you a cookbook from Austria that has been translated into English.

This is a wonderful book for anyone, of any age, to learn some traditional Austrian recipes. It gives you the "basics" that you need to know. In other words....Classic, easy, (and quite tasty) recipes that can be easily made in the American kitchen.

"Cooking The Austrian Way" is not packed with hundreds of recipes. However, it does contain a few classic recipes. It is a great start to Austrian cooking.

This book is said to be for "Ages 9 to 12".... I am 26 years old and highly recommend this informative and fun book to anyone of any age. If you want to try your hand at cooking "The Austrian Way", definitely get your hands on this book!

This is a small, thin book purchased at Amazon, that is certainly not worth the money. Has pretty pictures but that is not what I'm looking for in a cookbook

The book has colorful pictures of the food and easy to follow recipes. Ingredients are things you may already have on hand.

This book is good for a dabbler. There's a lot of guff about authentic recipes and such, but there are too many short-cuts for me to really agree (eg, buying dinner roll dough instead of making your own). Not a bad book though - good pictures and clear instructions. I read it through and passed it on to my 13 year old, and he's all over it.
