The Sweet Zauner

Stories and Recipes from the Ischler Summer Resort

Summer freshness couldn’t be sweeter

In the countries of the Austrian monarchy and beyond, a summer without Bad Ischl was a wasted time, and a retreat without a treat at the patisserie Zauner even more so.

While salt laid the foundations for Ischl’s flourishing spa business, sugar, no less valuable therapeutically, sweetened the healthy lives of spa guests. There were more guests than ever in those years: Ischl experienced the most glamorous era in its history. Emperor Franz Joseph proposed to his Sisi here, and famous artists, writers and composers also came to Ischl. Alfred Komarek revives this cultural and social heyday, closely interwoven with the history of the Zauner confectionery.


»The recipes invite you to enjoy and bring the summer freshness of Ischl to life in a very special way.«
