With his latest baking book “Der süße Zauner”, master confectioner Josef Zauner provides insights into his best-kept recipes. Stories by Alfred Komarek round off the work, because summer holidays in Bad Ischl and the Salzkammergut couldn’t be sweeter. In the countries of the monarchy and beyond, a summer without Bad Ischl was a waste of time, and a spa treatment without treatment at Zauner was even more so. While salt laid the foundation for Ischl's flourishing spa business, sugar, which was no less therapeutically valuable, sweetened the spa guests' healthy life. There were more guests in those years than ever before: Ischl experienced the most glorious era in its history. Because with the emperor - Franz Joseph proposed to Sisi here -, spa and confectionery, well-known artists, writers and composers also moved in. Alfred Komarek brings this cultural and social golden age back to life, closely interwoven with the history of the Zauner confectionery. With texts and anecdotes about Ischl by Nikolaus Lenau, Karl Kraus, Adalbert Stifter and others – and 21 summer recipes by Josef Zauner for coffee and dessert, including the legendary Schratt Gugelhupf.
