Engage hands-on with two of Austria’s most iconic specialties: traditional Apple Strudel and the famous Salzburger Nockerl. You’ll prepare the dishes yourself while being guided step by step by an experienced chef.
Our small-group classes are fun, relaxed and interactive, making it easy to enjoy the experience even if you have never cooked before. Stretch the strudel dough until it is paper-thin, create your own fluffy Salzburger Nockerl and discover the little tricks behind these Austrian classics.
The cooking school itself adds to the experience: it is located in one of Salzburg’s oldest quarters, where centuries-old houses are built directly into the city mountain.
More than just a cooking class, it’s a delicious and entertaining way to experience Salzburg, meet other travelers and take a little piece of Austrian food culture home with you.

Prepare your strudel from scratch and experience the highlight of the class: stretching the delicate dough by hand until it is paper-thin. Then create your own Salzburger Nockerl — Salzburg’s legendary light and fluffy soufflé dessert.

Wonderful 90 minute cooking class
Moira_B, October 2026
Very enjoyable 90 minutes. Leonardo did a wonderful job explaining. I’d recommend and I don’t even bake!! The beef goulash soup was outstanding too. Even better if you bring your own bread and butter to compliment it.
