THE FOOD

Hands-on Austrian baking: pretzels and strudel

Step-by-step instruction focuses on two Austrian essentials: shaping Salzburger pretzels and rolling a traditional apple strudel. The lesson is practical and tactile, designed so participants leave with finished pastries they helped create.

THE PROCESS

All ingredients and utensils supplied

The class provides every ingredient and utensil you’ll need, letting you concentrate on technique and the shared experience rather than prep or packing.

THE MUSIC

Dinner with goulash and a live soprano set

After cooking, sit down to the dishes you made accompanied by a warming bowl of goulash while a soprano performs Mozart classics and beloved songs from The Sound of Music movie.

What the day feels like

An intimate, sensory evening of food and song

The experience compresses instruction, cooking and convivial dining into a focused session: learn traditional techniques, produce the evening’s pastries, then relax and taste them alongside goulash while listening to a live soprano perform Mozart and selections from The Sound of Music.
