Austrian Cuisine Almost every Austrian family has its own Christmas tradition. Christmas Eve differs from family to family; however, many cannot imagine Christmas without the delicious aroma of a succulent roast duck floating in the air. In general, Austrians are always really fond of eating duck. Roasting a duck is a rather time-consuming activity that can turn the most silent time of the year into a quite stressful one for the cook as expectations in a culinary delicacy are always very high. Given that Christmas should be a happy feast for everybody?also for those preparing the meal?it is always helpful to invite family members or guests to come to the kitchen and help you prepare dinner. It is also recommended to start early enough and to consider that dishes prepared in advance will reduce stress later. This recipe serves a roast duck along with bread dumplings, also known as serviettenknödeln, and a green cabbage salad.
