December 3, 2017: Budapest, Hungary FEATURED EXCURSION: Budapest city tour with Christmas Market. Explore Budapest, an enchanting city often referred to as the “Queen of the Danube.” Made up of two parts—Buda, the hills, and Pest, the flat lands—the city is divided by the Danube. It’s an architectural dream, which you will discover on your city tour. Visit the UNESCO World Heritage-designated Castle Hill district and see dramatic vistas from the 19th-century Fisherman’s Bastion. In the center of it all is the Christmas Market on Vörösmarty Square, where you’ll get to shop for traditional Hungarian wares and delightful holiday treats like spiced wine and cinnamon-spiced gingerbread. Only the finest Hungarian craftsmen are invited to participate in the market, so you can be assured of finding unique and beautifully made gifts. Among the special features of the market are a six-foot Advent wreath and a hand-carved manger, part of a Nativity scene that includes live animals. Savor traditional honey cakes with spiced wine or aromatic coffee as you stroll and shop. In the evening, enjoy a Captain’s Welcome Reception and Gala Dinner. December 4, 2017: Cruising the Danube River, Bratislava, Slovakia FEATURED EXCURSION: Bratislava walking tour with Christmas Market. The heart and soul of Slovakia, Bratislava is full of surprises that are yours to uncover on your walking tour of the historic downtown area, which concludes at the Christmas Market. While Bratislava’s very first Christmas Market was only established in 1993, Slovakians have quickly embraced the holiday traditions of their Austrian and Hungarian neighbors, filling stalls with distinctive local folk art. December 5, 2017: Vienna, Austria FEATURED EXCURSIONS: Choice of Vienna city tour with Winter Palace of Prince Eugene visit and Christmas Markets or exclusive “Taste of Christmas” walking tour, and Mozart and Strauss concert at a Viennese concert hall. This regal city becomes even more dazzling during the holidays. Vienna is a treasure trove of secular and sacred gems, many of which you will see during your panoramic city tour. Venture inside Prince Eugene’s magnificent Winter Palace, then explore the Christmas Market in front of City Hall - Austria’s largest and most famous Christmas Market and the small but charming market at Freyung Square. Or, stroll through Old Town Vienna on a “Taste of Christmas” walking discovery tour. Travel the stately Ringstrasse and see St. Stephen’s Cathedral, where Mozart was married in 1782. Afterward, take in two Christmas Markets with your guide. Austria’s most famous Christmas Market, with over 140 wooden huts, is set in front of City Hall. You will also visit a smaller but equally charming Christmas Market at Freyung Square, which has taken place every winter since 1772. Venture down the city’s famous shopping streets, the Graben and Kohlmarkt, where you’ll see the wonderful confectionary treats on display in Café Demel’s windows. Savor some vanillekipferl, Austria’s most famous cookie, and other seasonal goodies. In the evening, celebrate the spirit of Mozart and Strauss at a concert in one of Vienna’s well-known concert halls. December 6, 2017: Krems, cruising the Wachau Valley FEATURED EXCURSION: Göttweig Abbey with private organ recital Beautiful Benedictine Göttweig Abbey boasts a spectacular hilltop location on the eastern edge of the famed Wachau Valley. Though the abbey was founded more than 900 years ago, it was “modernized” following a fire in 1718, when it was transformed into a vast palace with interiors that are a monument to Baroque art and design. Explore its Baroque glories and listen to a private organ concert in the beautiful abbey church. After lunch, enjoy a scenic cruise through the breathtakingly beautiful Wachau Valley, a 19-mile stretch of the Danube between Krems and Melk. This ravishing region—with steep, densely wooded slopes on the south side of the river and a mixture of crags and south-facing vineyards on the north—has been declared a World Heritage Cultural Landscape by UNESCO. Dotted along the banks are small historic towns and winemaking communities. Note: The organ concert may take place in a different location if the Göttweig Abbey visit falls on a Catholic holiday. December 7, 2017: Linz, Austria (Salzburg or Linz/Steyr) FEATURED EXCURSIONS: Choice of full day Salzburg with walking tour and Christmas Market or Linz and Steyr with Christmas Markets Spend the day in Salzburg, starting with a walking tour of Old Town. The magnificent cathedral there was inspired by St. Peter’s Basilica at the Vatican. Visit Salzburg’s Christmas Market, located at the foot of the Hohen-Salzburg and around the cathedral; it is a true feast for the senses, featuring the warm aroma of spiced wine and Austrian pastries, the sights and sounds of holiday performances, and the bright colors of traditional handcrafts. Or you may opt to explore the beautiful towns of Steyr and Linz. The unique ambiance of Steyr shines brighter than ever during the holiday season, when brass bands, storytellers, and choir performances add to the enchantment of the Christmas Market in Old Town. Two delightful Christmas Markets are linked by the main shopping thoroughfare in Linz, with a truly spectacular light show connecting them. Begin at the Hauptplatz and follow the illuminations down the Landstrasse to the Volksgarten, where you’ll find animated displays of fairytale scenes. December 8, 2017: Passau, Germany FEATURED EXCURSION: Passau walking tour with Christmas Market, and gingerbread-making and floral-decorating demonstrations Baroque Italian flair overlays the Medieval Old Town of Passau. Your tour takes you past St. Stephan’s Cathedral, the New Residence, and Town Hall to the spot where three rivers converge in the city. At Passau’s Christmas Market, set against the glorious backdrop of St. Stephan’s Cathedral, you will find unique crafts, including Bavarian-style miniature houses and glass ornaments. As an added treat, you will attend a gingerbread-making and floral-decorating demonstration. In the evening, enjoy a Captain’s Farewell Reception and Gala Dinner.

    My European Recipe Book Recipes collected by students and teachers during the COMENIUS-Project “Common Roots – Common Future” in the years 2010 - 2012 In the years 2010 – 2012 the following schools worked together in the COMENIUS-Project “COMMON ROOTS – COMMON FUTURE” - Heilig-Harthandelsinstituut Waregem, Belgium - SOU Ekzarh Antim I Kazanlak, Bulgaria - Urspringschule Schelklingen, Germany - Xantus Janos Kettannyelvu Idegenforgalmi Kozepiskola es Szakkepzo Iskola Budapest, Hungary - Fjölbrautaskolinn I Breidholti Reykjavik, Iceland - Sykkylven vidaregaaende skule Sykkylven, Norway - Wallace Hall Academy Thornhill, Scotland <a href="http://de.fotolia.com/id/24737519" title="" alt="">WoGi</a> - Fotolia.com © WoGi - Fotolia.com ~ 1 ~ During the project meetings in the participating countries the students and teachers were cooking typical meals from their country or region, they exchanged the recipes and we decided to put all these family recipes together to a recipe book. As the recipes are based on different measurements and temperature scales we have added conversion tables for your (and our) help. At the end of the recipe book you will find a vocabulary list with the most common ingredients for the recipes in the languages used in the countries involved in the project. For the order of recipes we decided to begin with starters and soups being followed by various main courses and desserts. Finally we have added a chapter about typical cookies and cakes. We learned during the project work, that making cookies yourself is not common in many of the countries involved in this project, but nevertheless many nice cookies recipes exist – we wanted to give them some space here and we hope that you will try out some of them! We have added a DVD which shows the making of some of the dishes during the meetings and also contains the recipes.

Step 9: When baked the bread will have a hollow sound if tapped on the base. Step 10: Cool on a wire tray. A dry tea towel wrapped around the bread at this stage helps to give a softer crust. Tips! - Start out by mixing your bread dough in a large bowl so you have space to mix your dough, which will reduce the chances of you over-mixing and toughening your bread. - Always level your teaspoon of baking soda before adding it to your ingredients. There are two very good reasons for this that can make or break your bread: Too much baking soda will tint your bread green and it can give your bread a very acidic taste which can be quite unpleasant, so remember less is more with the baking soda.

  • The Bukovina Cookbook Volume II
    The Bukovina Cookbook Volume II A collection of authentic recipes submitted by former Bukoviners and descendants of Bukoviners. Compiled and edited by Merle Kastner, 2010. Appetizers Gefilte Fish 4 pounds of Carp, Doré and White Fish, ground together Carp bones (and/or head) 2-4 grated Onions 1 ½ cups of Matzo Meal 2 ½ tablespoons Sugar 1 tablespoon black Pepper Salt to taste To begin, put ½ of the grated onions in the bottom of a large pot, and cover them with the carp bones (and/or head). Then, with a large knife or cleaver, chop together all of the re- maining ingredients until well blended. Make two large loaves and place them in the pot. Add cold water until the loaves are covered. Bring to a boil and cook over a low heat for 1 hour. Once the pot cools, remove the loaves and store them in the fridge. Then strain the remaining liquid and store separately in the fridge. Once chilled, the liquid thickens to form a jelly-like sauce. To serve, cut the loaves in slices and garnish with cooked sliced carrots. The fish is accompanied by grated horseradish and the jellied sauce.
