Pan-cooked pleasures
Farming families have always had the daily habit of coming together at the table to eat. Whether it's simple weekday fare or dishes for Sundays and special occasions, a large pan is usually placed in the middle of the table. Simple cooking becomes a culinary highlight. Age-old aromas are re-discovered, old recipes given innovative interpretations and traditional, original dishes from the pan revived.

The variety involved in simple farm cooking is reflected in lots of traditional South Tyrolean dishes. For example, making 'Knödel' dumplings used to be a way to use up leftovers and they are now an essential feature of South Tyrolean cuisine as a popular main or side dish. Whether it's a 'Bauerngröstl' fry-up, pan-cooked 'Muas' made from flour, or a tried and tested sweet 'Kaiserschmarrn' omelette, food is shared around the table from the frying pan. Not much needs to go into a special dish and a handful of ingredients are often enough to create great eye-opening culinary moments.
