Salzburg Lake Charr
- Wash the fish in cold water and pat dry using kitchen paper. Season the stomach cavity with salt and pepper. Season the outside of the charr generously with salt and coat both sides in flour.
- In a large pan (or ideally in 2 fish pans), slowly melt around half the butter (not allowing it to brown too much) and fry the charr on both sides, depending on their size, for a total of 12–18 minutes until crispy and golden brown (when turning the fish do not use sharp equipment, to prevent the skin from tearing).
- Carefully lift the charr from the pan, arrange on pre-heated plates and keep warm by covering for with foil (or by placing in a pre-heated oven on a low setting).
- Now pour off any excess frying fat from the pan, introduce the rest of the butter and allow to bubble up, before adding a generous squeeze of lemon juice. Add salt and allow to bubble up again.
- Drizzle over the charr on the plates and then scatter on the freshly-chopped parsley.Serve with potatoes coated with butter or parsley, accompanied by a seasonal salad. Instead of the whole fish, it is also possible to prepare fish fillets in this way.
Cooking time: depending on the size, 12–18 minutes

Recipes
Flemish Asparagus
The typical Flemish asparagus is white, as it is grown covered in soil to prevent photosynthesis. This prevents the asparagus turning green and results in a taste a little sweeter and much tenderer than the green asparagus. It is generally harvested from late April to early June.
Boiled Barley with Poppy Seeds and Honey
Poppy seed cakes are considered a sign of opulence; hence Polish desserts cannot have enough of them. They are often further enriched with honey, dried fruit and nuts. This dish called Kutia in Polish is a traditional Christmas dessert.
Glyko Karydaki
‘Glyka tou koutaliou’ are sweet preserves served in a tiny spoon as a gesture of Cypriot hospitality. These spoon sweets are made from unusual fruits and vegetables, like figs, cherries, watermelon peel, walnuts or almond stuffed baby aubergines. They are often flavored with cinnamon or pelargonium leaves. A wonderful sweet treat enjoyed with a Cypriot coffee or a glass of cold water.
Speck Flavoured Dumplings
Dumplings are the epitome of the South Tyrolean cuisine and an indispensable part of every menu. Dumplings are made of South Tyrolean white bread, which is dried and cut into cubes for making dumplings. The basic dough is made of type 00 white flour, South Tyrolean milk, pasteurised free-range eggs, fresh or frozen onions, dried, fresh or frozen parsley and chives if desired. South Tyrolean speck dumplings contain 15 – 20 % diced speck (PGI).
