ABOUT THEEXPERIENCE

I am a 35 year old Art Historian and Interior Designer from Vienna.
Coming from a part czech, part italian, part austrian family, I grew up with different cuisins & I learned to cook very early with various influences.
I started 2 years ago to host private dinnerparties, bringing different people together on my big historical table!
I'm very much into good wine, seasonal and regional food.
And I love to create a cosy, arty, comfortable, well decorated situation on my table for my guests!
You can be part of a private Dinner party in a historical viennese Apartment!
Looking forward to dining with you!

ABOUT THEMENU

A seasonal mix of regional and mostly organic food and meat.
A little bit italian, I like risottos and mediterranian vegetables, a little oldschool austrian, nice meat, a little czech, especially cakes and sweets, a lot of spices and good oils from the deli - a tasty and modern interpretation of the old viennese kitchen with a surprising twist! And of course phantastic austrian wine!
(please let me know, what you would like to taste - of course I can also do a 100% authentic Austrian meal too, like Schnitzel, Tafelspitz, Knödel etc.)

Menu example:
Aperitif: Austrian sparkling wine from "Kremstal"
Starter: Caprese with organic Mozzarella, beetroot and a dressing with herbs from mum's garden
Main course: Risotto ai funghi with a medium rare slice of roastbeef and caramelized onions
Dessert: homemade blueberry icecream with fresh basil and buiskit crumble
Digestiv: Organic Gin from the region "Mostviertel" and tonic
A selection of viennese wines!

ABOUT THELOCATION

I live in a 80sqm Apartment in the 7th district in Vienna! Very close to the city centre in a historical building from 1890.

As a collector of art and vintage furniture, you'll find yourself in my private little museum, sitting on chairs from the 18th century or the 60s!

I should add here that all 4 of my grandparents came from Austria [ immigrated to the US - 1917ish] . I have never been to AT.- So in booking Asta I was looking for more of a natural / local feel & home atmosphere, etc..[ then say - at a restaurant]........Asta was the perfect choice for this ....her home, music, wine , food, conversation......was - perfect. The wild mushroom goulash with herb dumpling was a great combination of spices I had not tasted since my grandmother s cooking . WE hope you have the chance to visit Asta s table

We had a fantastic evening. This was our first home dining experience and won't be our last. Asta was a great host who gave us advice on Vienna, in a relaxed and unrushed environment with superb good.

Dinner with Asta was all I hoped it would be and more. Quite a daring move for me to have dinner at a stranger's home, but such was our welcome I immediately felt at ease in her lovely, unique apartment. I had asked Asta, during our online chat, to make dishes she enjoyed cooking and I was glad I did, as a three course feast of Viennese food was served with superb complementing wines. We only had three days in Vienna, so the main reason I booked this dinner on our first evening off the plane was to try and get to know a little bit about Austria and Vienna from the inside, from a locals point of view. Conversation was relaxed, easy, stimulating and informative, all I hoped for really. Asta recommended places to eat and drink, had a great night drinking cocktails at Loos American Bar, and was a mine of local information. Dinner with Asta was a highlight of our stay in Vienna, and for me, set the stage for a marvellous time in a wonderful city.

SOME TESTIMONIALS

I hugely enjoyed my time at Asta's. Our dinner and chat didn't make much difference to being invited to a new friend's place. Her vintage flat is charming and cosy, and carries the distinct signature of its owner. There is an (Austrian) story behind almost every collection item. I liked that Asta had invited another Viennese friend over to join in. Our Griessnockerlsuppe, Tafelspitz and Cremeschnitte were marvellous. I just realised afterwards that I could have taken a little cooking class helping Asta prepare our Austrian food.Something to remember for next time.
