The Hotel Sacher is a five-star hotel in the Innenstadt of Vienna, Austria, next to the Staatsoper. It is famous for the speciality of the house, the Sachertorte chocolate cake. There is also an art gallery in the hotel with works from the 19th century. The hotel is built where Antonio Vivaldi once lived.

The hotel was founded in 1876 by Eduard Sacher as a maison meublée. After his death his widow Anna Sacher became manager. Under her rule, the hotel became one of the finest hotels in the world, where the aristocracy and diplomats would meet. Today the hotel is owned by the Gürtler family under the company name "Eduard Sacher GmbH & Co OHG". This company also owns the Österreichischer Hof hotel in Salzburg. The hotel extended its roof for more rooms in 2005, which caused a stir with conservators.

The hotel also found fame in the German-speaking world via the popular television series Hallo ... Hotel Sacher, Portier starring Fritz Eckhardt.

Have you a favourite Spritzgeback ~ a cookie press cookie?
Q. Hi ~ I lost the one I had copied from The Sacher Hotel Cookbook, unfortunately. And does yours have any special fillings, additions to the dough, or decorations? Natural ones, please? I prefer to avoid all those chemically green and red sugars if possible. I am sorry to complain all over the lot but I also lost a recipe from India that included Mawa powder, which is cashew nut powder. Have you anything like that, maybe with fine almond powder, to recommend it?

A. Lost & found: here's Franz Maier-Bruck's reading from "Das Grosse Sacher Kochbuch": Spritzgebaeck === 150g butter 50g icing sugar lemon zest 10g vanilla sugar 1 egg 1 egg yolk 230g flour Tunkmasse (Austrian chocolate glaze) Whisk the butter, sugar, lemon zest and vanilla sugar to a foamy, well aerated mass. Blend in the egg and egg yolk, followed by the flour. Work the mixture to a finish as quickly as possible. (When left too long, it becomes unworkable!) Using a piping bag and assorted nozzles, pipe assorted shapes on to a prepared baking sheet. Bake in a moderate oven (not too hot).
