New baking book from Zauner: "The sweet Zauner"
Philipp and Josef Zauner present the new baking book from Zauner
With his latest baking book “Der süße Zauner” (The Sweet Zauner), master confectioner Josef Zauner provides insights into his best-kept recipes.
Stories by Alfred Komarek round off the work, because summer holidays in Bad Ischl and the Salzkammergut couldn’t be sweeter.
In the countries of the monarchy and beyond, a summer without Bad Ischl was a wasted lifetime, and a cure without a cure at the Zauner even more so.
While salt laid the foundation for Ischl’s flourishing spa business, sugar, no less valuable therapeutically, sweetened the healthy lives of spa guests. There were more guests than ever in those years: Ischl experienced the most glamorous era in its history. Emperor Franz Joseph proposed to his Sisi here, and famous artists, writers and composers also made their home here. Alfred Komarek revives this cultural and social heyday, closely interwoven with the history of the Zauner confectionery.
With texts and anecdotes about Ischl by Nikolaus Lenau, Karl Kraus, Adalbert Stifter and others – and 21 summery recipes by Josef Zauner for coffee and dessert, including the legendary Schratt-Gugelhupf.
