The popular conception of dining in Vienna is a selection of rich and heavy meat dishes followed by sweet cakes with whipped cream. However in this book two restaurateurs who have pioneered a new approach explain how it is possible to eat well and healthily in the Viennese way without sacrificing variety and flavour. The recipes emphasize light meals and provide a variety of new ways to prepare game, fish and meat as well as a range of soups and starters. In keeping with modern tastes, there is particular emphasis on salads and vegetable dishes, both as courses on their own and to accompany other dishes. No book on the food of Vienna can ignore the puddings and pastries for which Austria is famous and included are recipes for pancakes and "torten", fruit dumplings and chocolate puddings.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
In the spirit of Nouvelle Cuisine, this beautifully illustrated volume introduces a light but faithful rendition of the traditionally heavy Viennese cookery. New York-based chefs Grunauer and Kisler perform some 160 recipes adroitly, with each dish thoughtfully prepared and skillfully presented. Especially creative are the seafood selections: salmon steak in puff pastry with a sorrel sauce; striped bass studded with fennel with a littleneck clam sauce; Coho baby salmon with glazed grapes. Elegant veal preparations feature sliced veal steaks in morel sauce with potato dumplings; medallions of veal with asparagus sabayon in Riesling sauce; and the traditional paprikaschnitzel. Sweetbreads receive special attention in cream soup with herbs and sweetbread cubes, and in sauteed sweetbread and chicken mousse dumplings in vermouth sauce. Glorious Austrian desserts are concisely described: fruit dumplings, apple strudel, farmer cheese crepes with warm vanilla sauce. Professional chefs will find this book particularly attractive since a majority of the dishes are quick sautes. Friedman translated material from the German.
