Premieres Saturday, Oct.18, 2025 at 1:30 p.m. on KPBS TV / Stream with KPBS+

Christopher Kimball travels to Salzburg to uncover the secrets of great Strudel and Schnitzel.

Chris FINALLY got to make the Austrian apple strudel he’s been talking about for over a year now, with the paper-thin dough and the tablecloth trick. We’re happy he’s happy. It’s also a much better, and surprisingly more foolproof, strudel than any other regional variety—with a barely-there pastry surrounding a buttery, sweet-tart filling. He learned this recipe in Austria from Eva-Maria Steinbichler and her daughter, Petra Steinbichler, who taught him to roll the dough on a tablecloth, in one smooth motion. Magic!

He learns how to stretch dough to near-transparency and demonstrates the art of rolling up Austrian Apple Strudel. Then, he goes to a restaurant that makes over 700 servings of Schnitzel per day to find out how to make Austrian Pork Schnitzel.
