19th century cuisine - cooking class
Step back in time to Austria’s culinary past, when Vienna was a thriving metropolis attracting people from across the empire. They brought with them the dishes, spices, and traditions of their homelands—regions that are now part of former Yugoslavia, Slovakia, Czechia, Poland, Hungary, and Ukraine. These influences blended with local customs to create what is now world-famous as Viennese cuisine.

Victorian Cuisine - cooking class
It may seem odd today, but during Queen Victoria’s reign, English cuisine was one of the finest in Europe. While large parts of the population lived in poverty, technological innovations such as the gas stove and refrigerator revolutionized the culinary culture of Britain’s middle and upper classes — just as much as the influences from the colonies of the vast British Empire.
Classics like fish and chips, afternoon tea, or the famous Mulligatawny soup (later immortalized in Dinner for One) were established during this period and continue to
delight British taste buds — and ours!
