THE AUTHENTIC SCHNITZEL RECIPE

Francesca Zambolin
September 10, 2021

Wiener schnitzel means “Viennese cutlet” in German, and it is one of Austria’s most traditional and representative dishes. Wiener schnitzel is almost always served with a wedge of lemon. In addition, common schnitzel side dishes include cucumber salad, potato salad, and fries.

INGREDIENTS

4 (5-ounce) veal cutlets (or chicken or pork cutlets)
1/4 cup all-purpose (or brown rice flour)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 large eggs, well beaten
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
Oil or lard, for frying
4 slices lemon, garnish

PREPARATION

The first thing we have to do is pound the meat so that it reaches a thin thick. You can place the cutlets between sheets of plastic wrap for easier cleanup.

The second step for the Schnitzel recipe is to bread them. Therefore, set up 3 shallow dishes: mix the flour and salt in the first dish, the beaten eggs in the second dish, and the breadcrumbs in the third dish.

Meantime, in a large skillet, heat at least 1/4-inch of oil to 350 F. This takes about 8 minutes.

Now, working one at a time, dredge cutlets first in flour until the surface is completely dry. Dip in egg to coat, allow the excess to drip off for a few seconds. Then roll quickly in the breadcrumbs until coated. Do not press the breadcrumbs into the meat, as this will moisten them and not make for a crispy coating. The crust should not adhere completely but form a loose shell around the schnitzel.

Immediately place meat in the pan with the hot oil. Do not crowd the pan. Cook the schnitzel in batches, if necessary. Fry the schnitzel for 2 to 3 minutes on one side, until golden brown. Make sure the breaded meat “swims” in fat. Turn them over once and fry an additional 2 to 3 minutes or until both sides are golden brown. Remove from pan and allow the oil to drain off.

Serve in the traditional manner with lemon slices, as well as potato salad, cucumber salad, or fries. Enjoy!

The temples in Bangkok number in the hundreds, and when you’re on vacation in the city, visiting at least a few of them is a must. These temples, or wats, are part and parcel of Bangkok’s identity, and offer insights into the capital’s history and culture. And with everything from golden Buddha statues to colorful ceramics, they’re quite photogenic too!

Your Holidays in Krakow

Hugues Herrmann

To go there: if you are coming from Warsaw, I advise you to take the trains. Driving in Poland is hardly a pleasant experience. Besides, unlike French and Italian trains, Polish trains actually have great food to eat! Both Warsaw and Krakow Railway Stations are conveniently located next to the cities’ centers. Krakow has the biggest medieval place in Europe: the Rynek Główny. Climb on top of the St Mary’s Basilica for an impressive view. The Town Hall Tower, today host to a museum, was built in the 14th century. The Cloth Hall is a market since the Renaissance time.

Head to Darjeeling

Hugues Herrmann

You have a few options to go to Darjeeling. Assuming you land in Bagdogra Airport, you could go by car straight to Darjeeling (around 2 or 3 hours). Or you could head to the Railway Station and take a train (at least 6 hours). This train is an impressive experience: the rails are very inclined and it is going up the mountain by doing Z shapes. The slow speed lets you enjoy the view of the valleys. There are a few steam trains but unless you are extremely lucky they will not be used on this itinerary, you will have

Your Guide to Kolkata

2020-12-27

Kolkata receives much less foreign tourists than Mumbai or Delhi. But it is the greatest place in India to understand colonization and post-independence. 1) College Street Book Market Some estimates say it is the biggest book market in the world. Spend time wandering around. Once you bought your books, go begin to read them at the historic Indian Coffee House. Despite the bustling of the place, they always succeed to bring your order in a short amount of time. It will be a more exotic experience than Starbucks (Kolkata has a few of the green shops). 2) Victoria Memorial One of the most impressive monuments left from the colonization, with its giant dome. If you are a non-Indian national the entry ticket is a little bit pricey, but this is the most iconic sight of the city. The interior almost looks like a cathedral. 3) Chinatown As I had visited so many Chinatowns in the world on different continents, I was first hesitant to visit it. I am extremely happy to have been there. This is unlike the Chinatowns of New-York, Paris or Kuala-Lumpur. I had lunch first in a Chinese restaurant with an impressive liquor menu. Speaking Mandarin myself, I was hoping to be able to practice but the owner only spoke the Hokkien dialect. Most of the Chinese immigrants came from Fujian province, like in the United-States. The Chinese Kali Temple is a mix of Hinduism incorporated with some Chinese traditions. All around you can see many warehouses. Most of the Chinese were working as shoemakers and prospered because manipulating leather is a taboo for a large part of the Indian population. 4) Park Street Unlike other cities in India like Bangalore, Kolkata feels very walkable and adapted for pedestrians. Park Street has many historic buildings, the South Park

Angra dos Reis, the city on the Continent boats are the main means of transport The best way to get there is through Rio de Janeiro. The city is practically halfway between Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, but the route through Rio de Janeiro is better and more direct. You will have to take more roads through São Paulo, but it is also possible and the time is not much longer. The best way to make this trip is by bus, since our focus will be the islands, renting a car will be an additional cost that you will not use. However it is possible to be useful if you want to go to Paraty, a historic city next to Angra dos Reis that in July has important cultural festivals. It is a great visit at any time of the year. The city of Angra dos Reis can also offer you good restaurants and good beaches, but the main focus is sea transport to the islands and even to take a tour and return to the mainland at the end of the day.

5 places to visit Curitiba

2021-01-13

Curitiba is the second coldest city in Brazil, a place very different from the rest of the country and which boasts a vast green area and parks. Its people are not as warm as the Brazilians are known to be, but they are great hosts and the city has many beautiful places that make this destination unique in Brazil. Oscar Niemeyer museum Designed by the famous architect Oscar Niemeyer, this museum is a work of art in itself and holds many beautiful exhibitions. It is possible to take a virtual tour of the site, but walking through its galleries and climbing its tower in the shape of an eye overlooking the city is an experience that deserves to be lived. The Historic Center of Curitiba Although small, it is a very charming historic center and today it has several bars that stir up the city’s nightlife. The tour here is very quiet and Among the highlights of the Historic Center are: Solar do Barão, Casa Vermelha, Paço da Liberdade and the Giuseppe Garibaldi Palace (originally a meeting place for Italian immigrants). During the tour, it is also worth visiting the Church of the Third Order of São Francisco de Chagas, the first in the city and where is the Museum of Sacred Art and the Church of Nossa Senhora do Rosário de São Benedito, built for the cult of slaves. The City Parks Great pride in Curitiba, its parks are numerous and are spread throughout the city. Some are more touristic and others are more sought after by the locals, but all are very beautiful and yield wonderful moments. The Barigui park is one of the most famous for giving the possibility to walk among the capybaras, which are very quiet, but don’t get too close. A huge lake is

3 DAYS IN ROTTERDAM

2021-09-10

Just forty minutes from Amsterdam, Rotterdam is a totally different city from the famous capital. Destroyed by the bombings of the Second World War, Rotterdam has reinvented itself with futuristic and experimental architecture. That’s how Rotterdam becomes the cradle of contemporary art and innovation. Because of that it has earned the nickname of “Manhattan on the Meuse” from the name of the river that crosses it. The city proudly preserves its maritime tradition which still makes its port one of the largest in Europe nowadays. Let’s find out the Rotterdam itinerary in 3 days. DAY 1 Starting from the Blaak district, the ideal first stop is the covered market of Markthal. Here you can both appreciate the innovative architecture of the inverted horseshoe structure and enjoy the typical dishes of the city. Just outside the Markthal market you will come across one of the symbols of the city: the cube houses designed by Piet Blom. The houses tries to replace kind of a set of trees. They are supported on a pillar that represents the trunk, while the houses themselves are the crown. Each house stands side by side and touches at the corners to give the idea of an urban forest. Before leaving the area, walk to the Cathedral of St. Lawrence. The Gothic-style church is the only testimony of medieval Rotterdam. Let’s return to the south of the cubic houses and explore the Oudehaven, or the Old Port. Nearby, there is also a maritime museum and you can see some of the most ancient and historic boats. Walking east to the river, you come across the Witte Huis, an impressive art nouveau building dating back to 1898, credited as Europe’s first skyscraper. Actually, it was one of the few buildings to survive the German bombings. A few steps

Buenos Aires: The City Of Fury

2020-11-22

Buenos Aires is a metropolis with the soul of a people that takes a nap at noon and refuses to sleep at night. In this Latin city with a European aspect, there are many options to enjoy architecture, tango, gastronomy, football, theater, music and folkloric traditions. There are plenty of words to describe everything that Buenos Aires represents and is. A city that lives a thousand revolutions and never stops, a city that does not leave you indifferent: you either love it or hate it. Well it knew how to earn his nickname “city of fury” for that remembered song of Soda Stereo. But just as it is, with its twists, its nuances, its contrasts and its follies, Buenos Aires catches the tourists who come to know it. Buenos Aires is classic, colorful, cultured, crazy, funny… It is a city that has great humor and its genius creatives have made it a protagonist in theater, cinema, literature and music. It is so universal that from anywhere in the world, at some point, many of us have felt it ours, because its energies made us vibrate and even its misfortunes made us cry. Buenos Aires is a wonderful city to walk around and discover each time you visit things that attract and make you return. It is a city where the classic is mixed with the modern, in its architecture you can see a totally European building next to a typical Latin American building; a 30-story building next to a 3-story building, houses of one or more environments, which hide people who flood the city during a working day or a night out. It is a city where day and night are reversed, you go to bed at 3 a.m. as if it were nothing, but you get up at 9

The Archeological Site of Pandua

2021-02-18

Pandua is a historic city located in Western-Bengal in India. Today home to only around 25 000 people, it used to be the capital of a small Hindu kingdom. It is fantastic to visit, and the only black point would be the bad quality of the hotels closed by. In the 13th century Shah Shahid Safiuddin killed there a cow for a banquet. This provoked anger in the local Hindu king, named Pandu. He killed the baby of Shah Shahid and offered him in sacrifice to the goddess Kali. Shah Shahid complained to the Sultan Firoz Shah, who sent there an army. One reason why Bandua is not so visited is the bad state of infrastructure. Sadly, the roads of West Bengal need urgent improvements. Do not forget to take off your shoes when you go inside the mosque. Unlike in other countries, it is generally ok to keep your socks in India. Be aware that there is very few documentations onsite. If you are very interested by archeology and want to identify everything, it might be best to do your research before. This is not the Taj Mahal, and no army of tourist guides will come to offer their service to you. Most of the other visitors I saw were locals. Not a single non-Indian in sight. Both Hindu and Muslim heritage survived. Some traces of the royal palace of Pandu are visible. There is a minaret from the 13th century, whose entry door seems to have partly been built with stones from a Hindu temple. One can also notice the imposant ruins of a mosque from the 14th century, whose columns may be of Hindu style. The gardens are certainly much better maintained than the roads…

5 Must-Visit Places in Helsinki, the Stunning Capital of Finland

Helsinki, the capital of Finland, is a city of contrasts and contrasts. From its contemporary architecture and cutting-edge design to its rich history and cultural heritage, there’s something for everyone in this fascinating city. If you’re planning a trip to Helsinki, here are five must-visit places to add to your itinerary. 1. Senate Square and the Helsinki Cathedral Senate Square is the heart of the city and a popular gathering place. Surrounded by historic buildings, including the Helsinki Cathedral, the square is a beautiful and peaceful place to relax and take in the city’s sights. The Helsinki Cathedral, with its iconic green dome and white columns, is one of the most recognizable landmarks in the city and a must-visit for architecture and history enthusiasts. 2. Suomenlinna Fortress Suomenlinna Fortress is a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the city’s most popular attractions. Built in the 18th century, this island fortress offers breathtaking views of the city, sea and islands, and is a great place to spend a few hours exploring its history, architecture, and parks. Suomenlinna Fortress is a must-visit for anyone interested in military history and architecture.

To Do in Kunming

2020-12-29

Capital of Yunnan, Kunming is the perfect gateway to the region’s famous touristic sites. But the city itself has enough interests to justify a few days of visit. Compared to the Yu Garden in Shanghai, Guandu Old Town feels rather authentic and not just like a Chinese-style Disneyland. You will notice a mix of different influences, with some of the buildings evocating Tibetan architecture. As usual in this type of place, there are plenty of inexpensive restaurants with traditional food. Be sure to see the Tuzhu Temple and the Miaozhan Temple. Nanping Pedestrian Street is Kunming’s own equivalent to Nanjing Road in Shanghai. It is the place in the city where people go shopping, You have a few Western chains like Starbucks, but most of the stores are local brands. You may find great price opportunities depending of the country you are from (if you live in Western Europe or America it might be a good value to buy clothes and other stuffs). Very close to Nanping Road, there is an other old town, put “Silver Chest Kunming Hotel” on Google Maps, it will lead you to it. Over there you have a lot of teahouses and traditional Chinese backstreets and courtyards, some well-renovated and some in a slightly decayed state. Yunnan Ethnic Village is a large complex just outside of the city center. This region of China adjacent to Vietnam and Myanmar has an impressive number of different ethnics. Each part is dedicated to one minority, with replicas of their housing, people dressed in traditional clothes and some animations if you are at the right time. Unless you are visiting during China’s national holidays, it should not be too crowded. You can go to the Western mountains, 12 kilometers outside of the city, by an aerial tramway crossing the

Bucharest, contrasts and diversities

2020-11-12

The city of Bucharest is the capital of Romania, one of the poorest countries in Europe. Despite being part of the European Union, Romania is outside the eurozone and the Schengen area, so you need a specific visa to visit it. Despite this, the very low cost of living and the interesting history make this trip more than necessary if you want to know a little more about a country that lived so many years under the socialist regime and is still struggling to escape its consequences. Piata Victoriei Located in the prime area of the city, this square shows a beautiful and modern Bucharest. With wide wooded boulevards and beautiful parks, here you will find the government palace, two great museums and the Arc de Triomphe at the end of one of the great avenues. In fact, the best museum in Bucharest, in my opinion, is the Natural History Museum, which is just to the right of the government palace. It is a large museum that tells the whole history of the occupation of the place, with lots of interesting information and pieces that make this one of the best tours in the city. If instead of going to the right, you follow the left, you will find right in front of one of the main issues of the city, social inequality. Behind this noble area is a very peripheral area that contrasts enormously with the large modern buildings in Piazza Victoriei. Count Vlad’s court The most famous character in all Romanian culture is without a doubt Vlad Tepes, or Count Vlad. Known worldwide for being the root of all vampire mythology, in Bucharest it is possible to visit his court, or what is left of it. Despite being very frustrating for those looking for a more “vampiric” experience,
