VIENNESE COOKING
Viennese connoisseurs, as elsewhere, consider cookery a matter of national pride. But unlike many places, Vienna was the capital of a vast empire, and draws on many traditions, finding ways to adapt or improve their dishes. Viennese Cooking, by O. and A. Hess, covers the cooking and baking that outlived the empire.
