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. 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. Plus, we show you how to make homemade Spatzle.

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!
