Austrian Desserts

For Austrians, dessert is the culmination of any meal—the crowning achievement that can make or break a culinary experience. In this beautifully photographed cookbook, Austrian pastry master Toni Mörwald and award-winning restaurant critic Christoph Wagner share the secrets to crafting more than four hundred perfect Austrian desserts.

From Old World traditional dishes, such as Linzer torte and apfelstrudel, to contemporary and diet-conscious recipes, Austrian Desserts has it all. With easy-to-understand instructions, Mörwald and Wagner allow chefs of any skill level to create and serve:

• Iced temptations for sultry summer days
• Fresh berry roasts and pies
• Crème brûlées with an Austrian twist
• A variety of flaked baumkuchen (layer cake)
• Chocolates and candied confections
• And so much more!

Sprinkled between these delicious recipes are tips and tricks from a kitchen connoisseur, suggestions for health-conscious substitutions, and notes on the traditional origins of numerous Austrian dishes.
