Conventional wisdom says that Viennese cuisine begins and ends with the schnitzel. Now, the schnitzel is indeed a venerable creation, and one that we hope to enjoy for many years to come. But the reality is that Viennese cuisine has absorbed more traditions than almost any city under the sun. Given that the Habsburg crown once led some twenty European nations this is hardly surprising. Nowadays, those twenty nations no longer have to doff their cap to a surly Emperor, but they've left behind a host of culinary secrets. What's more, the Central European fare that Vienna knows inside out has recently been complimented by a spate of new arrivals. Vienna has discovered the Orient, which means even more variety. Of course, we haven't even mentioned cakes yet. In a nutshell, you're in gourmet heaven.....
