Materials Specific Details

A handwritten pastry book from the beginning of the 19th century, with Viennese origin giving more than fifty recipes, almost all pastry and baked goods. Written either by the same hand over a long period of time, perhaps 10 to 15 years, or more unlikely by three different hands. The recipes are the most popular pastries of the time. Some of the recipes are French and German or other origin, but all very popular early in 19th century Vienna. Recipes such as almond crescent, apple filled cakes, raised doughnuts, types of pastries, puddings from apricots, kugelhof, komissbrot and almond kisses are among the more interesting ones. 58 pages.
