Enjoying in autumn
While the autumn sun bathes the last falling leaves in its golden light, that certain chill is already creeping into the air. This hint of snow, this promise of a varied winter, brings joy to many winter sports fans. Only selected glacier ski resorts are open yet, but soon the rest will follow. Until then, we will sweeten the waiting time with the best that autumn has to offer. We are thinking, for example, of a glass of fresh storm, the Martini goose, pumpkin dishes and, of course, wonderful game creations. So enjoying autumn is pretty simple. Would you like to bring a piece of the pleasure home to you, too? Our chef Maximilian Fankhauser from VAYA Zillertal shares his favorite fall recipes for you. He promises that it’s easy to recreate them. And because enjoying autumn is even more enjoyable when you’re not doing it alone, his recipes are suitable for cooking and eating together.
