Classics of the Dolomites

From the Alps to the Mediterranean and Austria: Over the centuries, South Tyrol has absorbed a multitude of culinary influences and transformed them into its own unique dishes, from wine soup and cheese dumplings to Schlutzkrapfen (spinach-filled ravioli) and spinach spätzle pasta, from potato pancakes to Tirtlen (deep-fried quark parcels), roast lamb and braised meats, sweet Krapfen pastries, strudel, and a whole host of local specialities from the valleys of the region. In this book, master chefs Heinrich Gasteiger, Gerhard Wieser, and Helmut Bachmann have compiled the best recipes for South Tyrols classic dishesfrom cold and hot starters to soups, breads, main dishes, and desserts. The So kocht Südtirol team has provided clear, intuitive directions for each recipe, along with valuable tips and step-by-step instructions to make them as straightforward as possibleeven for novice cooks.
