The story behind
The first time I had a real schnitzel was in a tiny tavern in the heart of Vienna. I was amazed at how something so simple could be so satisfying. It’s the dish I always order when I need to feel at home, no matter where I am in the world. I love making it for a weekend lunch, paired with some herb-roasted potatoes and a squeeze of fresh lemon to cut through the richness. To drink, nothing beats a cold craft beer or an iced tea. It’s one of those recipes that tastes better when shared with good company and no rush.
