Traditional Alpine And Austrian Meal in Rankweil With a Local Family

The journey, in full

Meal Description: Birgit and her boys (when they are home) will welcome you to their friendly, sunny, yellow house in Rankweil, with the warmest smiles. She will introduce you to traditional, Alpine cuisine, that is cooked using all organic, regional, and seasonal ingredients. She grows her own vegetables, has an herb garden, and even has her own chicken and bees – so all the fruits, vegetables, herbs, eggs, and honey used in your meal come from Birgit’s home. A few Alpine and Austrian dishes that you might try at Birgit’s home are fritattensuppe (a homemade beef broth topped with rolled up and then thinly sliced strips of pancake) or grießnockerlsuppe (semolina dumpling soup) and Vienna schnitzel or tyrolean dumplings with smoked ham and sauerkraut. End your meal with a dessert such as apfelstrudel (Viennese apple strudel) or Sacher cake (chocolate cake). In the summer months, when the weather is good, you can even opt for a barbeque meal in Birgit’s beautiful garden, where you will grill vegetables and meat on a special grill and even fry funken küchle (choux pastry) in the outdoors. Cooking Description: Before you begin your cooking class in Austria, you will tour Birgit’s garden (in the Summer months) to see how she grows her own fruits, vegetables, and herbs. In your 1-hour hands-on cooking class, you will learn to cook a traditional alpine meal. You will learn to make a main dish and an appetizer or dessert. Such as Vienna schnitzel and grießnockerlsuppe (semolina dumpling soup) or apfelstrudel (Viennese apple strudel). After your Austrian cooking class, join Birgit at the dining table to share the meal you helped prepare. Please note that the host offers multiple tour options combining the activities described above. Your tour itinerary will be determined by the combo option you select when booking your tour.
