The coffee houses in early 20th-century Vienna were the second living room for artists, intellectuals, and dessert lovers of all kinds. This was a place to relax; discuss; and, above all, indulge! Amid this sophisticated atmosphere, confectioner Therese Schulz pampered guests of the former Vienna Grand Hotel with her sweet craftsmanship—and meticulously documented her recipes. One hundred years later, family members rediscovered these records in the attic and entrusted them to the expert hands of recipe developer Bernadette Wörndl, who brings these recipes to life on the page today.

The result is this unique baking book, with over 75 divine confectionery recipes. From Viennese classics like Vanillekipferl (vanilla crescent cookies) and Sachertorte (rich chocolate cake) to nostalgic delicacies like marmalade Swiss rolls or a strawberry cream torte, this book will delight lovers of Austrian sweets and pastries. With a mix of atmospheric recipe pictures, excerpts from Therese's original recipe book, and nostalgic historic photography, The Viennese Bakery is a delicious, inspiring, and enticing culinary flight of fancy.
Bernadette Wörndl is a cookbook author and food stylist from Vienna. She discovered food art at the Vienna Art School and subsequently gained experience in professional kitchens.
