Please join Chef Jacques Haeringer and Klaus Wittauer, former sommelier of L’Auberge Chez François on Saturday March 16th at 11:00 AM, for our “Blue Danube River Reflections” Cooking Demonstration and Luncheon.
The afternoon will feature a luscious menu of seafood, Elysian Fields Lamb and the famous Salzburger dessert. This afternoon, we will take a delectable tour of Austrian wine, as guided by Klaus.
To start the day, you will sip chilled Gruner Veltliner from the beautiful Wachau region as Chef Jacques presents his cooking demonstration. As a special treat, Klaus will
join in and show us how to prepare Salzburger Nockerl, an Austrian dessert soufflé. After the demonstration, retreat to our Garden Room where you will enjoy a four course luncheon, expertly paired with three Austrian wines.
We hope you take a journey with us to Austria this summer and join us on our just announced Blue Danube cruise, with Chef Jacques Haeringer and co-host Klaus Wittauer aboard Tauck’s lovely M.S. Joy, August 14, 2019. Please contact carol@laubergechezfrancois.com for more information.
