Highlights
Learn how to prepare an original Austrian apple strudel. During this class, you will be guided by an experienced chef. Each class will have a maximum of 15 people, and be broken down further into tables of three to five people. You’ll be asked to fully partake in all the stages of preparation.
Activities such as marinating the apples and stretching out the pastry can be a lot of fun. While the apple strudel is baking in the oven, you’ll prepare the most popular cookies at Christmastime in Austria, Vanilla Kipferl, and get served a hot goulash soup for lunch.
At the end of your lesson the whole room is filled with Christmas fragrances, and the whole experience of baking is guaranteed to be as rewarding as enjoying the final outcome itself.

Highly recommend this cooking class! - We did the apple strudel and cookies class in December. We were a family of 6 persons. The class was a lot of fun. The instructor made the lesson seem easy. We were also served a delicious goulash soup. We highly recommend this class.

Ring in the new year with a coking class! - We enjoyed this cooking experience on New Years Day, making apple strudel and Christmas cookies, and eating soup while the cookies baked. Our instructor was informative and helpful. This was good to do with teens or with you f children. Thank you!

Fun baking experience - Johann and his team were fun to spend time with! His instructions and demonstration were clear and easy to follow and he made the experience as simple as possible (i.e., dough was already proofed and ready to be used). However, he still provided the recipe for the original dough for our use later. With a truly international group of participants, he was patient with all and answered everyone's questions about local ingredients and best practices. We walked away not only having enjoyed a simple meal he provided while our strudels were baking, but also with plenty of Salzburg Christmas Cookies and our leftover strudel to enjoy later. If you are looking for a laid-back baking experience in a small group (our consisted of 9 people), we highly recommend Edelweiss Cooking School.

Totally recommend this experience - What a great thing to do on New Year's day!
Johannes and Cindy made us very welcome and showed us how to make apple strudel ... then we made our own. Whilst that was cooking, we made Christmas cookies. We then had some goulash (vegetarian option available). The strudel and the cookies we baked were delicious, and we were given the remainder to take home. Our class was full, but we were not crowded at all ... some lovely other people with us ... a great way to spend a couple of hours, thankyou and happy new year to our group!

Such Fun!! - I'm not sure if we really learned how to make strudel, but it didn't matter, we had a great time! Our class was fully booked, so there were four to a table. We each took turns and managed to get a strudel in the oven, along with Christmas cookies. And then goulash for lunch!! I would absolutely recommend this class to anyone of any age, whether you're interested in baking or not! Just go and have fun!!!

Good activity and neat... - Good activity and neat location but wasn't really cooking. He hands you dough for cookies and dough already made for strudel.

Not recommended for experienced bakers or those traveling solo - Johann and team weee wonderful but I expected a much more hands on experience for the price paid. Very little work for you to do.
I was traveling solo and was paired with a young boy and his mom. What passion this young man had! But even with the mom’s persuading to allow me and her turns, we did very little of the things we actually were allowed to do. Our tasks were only to season the sliced apples, stretch the already made dough, fill it and fold it.
Not recommended for a solo traveler - you will get paired up. Not recommended for an experienced baker.
I personally felt the value I paid did not reflect what I received during my 90 minutes in the class.

Not as hands on as you’d think - I don’t like leaving a bad review but the experience underwhelmed me. I expected much more hands on. As a single traveler I was paired up with a small family with a child. They were wonderful but I felt compelled to allow them to do the minimum number of steps in the baking process that we were able to do. The instructors were very kind and knowledgeable but the price paid for the class does not represent the value it is worth.
