My husband and I spent the day with Andrea in June 2015 and had a wonderful time! We always try to do a cooking class with a local when we travel and emailing and making arrangements in advance was easy. She was very accommodating with our food preferences (I don't eat beef so veal was out) and planned for pork schnizel, but by the time we had spent 2 weeks in central europe, we were schnitzeled out, so she kindly changed the menu a few days before our appointment. We made an amazing crispy pork neck, and from our emails, she knew we loved white asparagus and went above and beyond to find some fresh in the Naschmarket so we could make soup and oven grilled. We also made delish apple strudel. We loved that she could translate at the Naschmarket so we got to try some wonderful cheeses, vinegars and the "best pickles ever" that we bought and saved for our plane ride picnic home!
Not only the cooking and all the tasting/eating was great, but so was the conversation! Andrea is very knowledgable about the world and history, and was truly a pleasure to now call her our friend. When we come back to Vienna, we will definitely do another day with her (and Pretty)! read more
