Learn Austrian Cooking with the gourmet chef in Salzburg
As you know, we like Austrian cuisine very much. For a few years now we have been drawn to the
Salzburg country again and again, looking for new delights from the cooking pots of the Alpine region. On one of our Advent trip to Salzburg, we came across the Restaurant Brunnauer in Salzburg, whose kitchen impressed us. We learned that Richard Brunnauer, tenant and head chef of the restaurant of the same name and proud owner of two Gault Millau stars, sometimes offers cooking courses for interested gourmets. Reason enough for us to take a look behind the scenes of this gourmet restaurant in Salzburg.

Learn Austrian cooking with Richard Brunnauer
Thus, we use our visit to Salzburg during the eat and meet festival, to which we have been invited by Salzburg Tourism, to attend one of its cooking classes. Together with Elena Paschinger from Creativelena and Gudrun Krinzinger of Reisebloggerin.at, with whom we have been on several times trips to savor. We set out to try our hand at the culinary arts of gourmet chef Richard Brunnauer. He makes it easy for us, because the dishes that we prepare together with him and his sous-chef are dishes that I can easily recreate at home: There are meat doughnuts on sauerkraut, beef roulade with herb dumplings and – how could it be otherwise in Austria – Kaiserschmarrnwith apple compote.

Everyone should be able to cook. Learning Austrian cooking helps.
When Petar, who also has to learn to cook in Austria, asks if we can publish the recipes, Richard Brunnauer says succinctly: “Yes, yes. It's no secret, and everyone should be able to cook.” I won't list all the recipes here, though. After all, this is a travel blog, but I'm happy to pass on a few tips. The meat donuts are made from a kind of choux pastry and filled with a meat filling. “You can also use cheese or vegetables instead,” suggests Richard Brunnauer.

Beef roulade - learn to cook Austrian
The beef roulade, which I often make at home, albeit differently, is prepared in an appealing way — suitable for gourmet cuisine. We fill them with carrot slices, pickles, mustard, and bacon slices. After they have simmered in the pot for an hour and a half, our host cuts them open and serves them together with the homemade herb dumplings. A meal to our taste!

Kaiserschmarrn is part of learning Austrian to cook
I find it interesting that Richard Brunnauer stirs the Kaiserschmarrn with whipped cream and lemon juice and lets it bake in the oven. Then he cuts the dough and swirls the pieces in granulated sugar that he has caramelized: delicious!

A treat at the end - learning Austrian cooking
Learning to cook Austrian food is fun. After we have had a lot of fun completing our creations with the help of Richard Brunnauer, we can enjoy them in the restaurant of the house together with matching wines. A perfect end to an afternoon in Richard Brunnauer's guest kitchen. Learning to cook Austrian food with Richard Brunnauer is an experience!
