Polish Wild Boar Roast
- Peel the vegetables. Cut the carrots into half-slices and chop the onion. Mix them with the remaining ingredients.
- Place the previously cleansed meat into the marinade. Leave it in a cool place for 2-3 days.
- Take the meat out of the marinade. Fry it thoroughly on hot fat from each side. Then roast it in the oven preheated to 180oC for about 45 minutes. You may pour the marinade over the meat while roasting. The meat should remain slightly pink inside.
- After taking the roast from the oven, pour the liquid from the roasting tin into a pot, add red wine and rosemary.
- Reduce the liquid until it becomes thick enough for a sauce and pour a bit of it over each portion of the roast. It will taste great with baked beetroots.

Dutch Asparagus
Asparagus has rightfully earned itself nicknames such as ‘white gold’ and ‘queen among vegetables’. It is indeed a very flavourful vegetable, which is traditionally harvested and enjoyed from the second Thursday in April.
Coachman’s Goulash
This goulash owes its name to the ever-hungry coachmen who drive the famous carriages (or ‘fiacres’) around Vienna. The beef ragout is topped with a garnish of sausage and fried egg – while its rich juice is permeated with sweet paprika powder. For this latter ingredient, as well as the numerous other variations of goulash, the Austrian cuisine owes a debt of gratitude to its neighbours in Hungary.
Nut and Chocolate Gugelhupf
The Austrians are convinced that the word “Gugelhupf” origins in the Middle High German “gugele” (monk’s hood) and “hopf” (yeast). It might also come from the Alsace “Kouglhof”, though, a sweet dish which, according to legend, the Three Wise Men carried with them.
Carinthian Cheese Noodles
The borders between today’s Austria and its southern neighbours are particularly dissipating in Carinthia. Instead of drizzling with melted butter, here the famous ‘Kasnudel’ are topped with melted Sasaka: the word comes from the Slovenian language and simply means finely-diced bacon or a type of lardons. Besides being a wonderfully spicy spread for bread, it also figures prominently in Styrian cuisine, proving that the colorful culinary merry-go-round in the former territories of the Habsburg Monarchy is still vibrant today.
