The popular imperial cooking event at Grades Castle attracted 40 exquisite amateur chefs to the Metnitz Valley. Award-winning chef Roland Steiger, who once cooked for Didi Mateschitz in Formula 1 for international VIP guests and the drivers of the Red Bull team, was the head chef.

The Kaiserkochen at Grades Castle in the Metnitz Valley was sold out in record time. 40 exquisite amateur chefs paid 59 euros to take part. "The well-known award-winning chef Roland Steiger, who cooked for Didi Mateschitz in Formula 1 for eight years for international VIP guests and the drivers of world champion Max Verstappen's Red Bull team, was our chef de cuisine," says castle owner Constantin Staus-Rausch. Steiger had restaurants in Rosegg and was available for a Carinthian kitchen event.

Cream soup with potato mush

There was a lot going on in the castle kitchen and in the centuries-old rustic Rauchkuchl. "We served a sour cream soup with Erdäpfelsterz. This was the favorite soup of Styrian Archduke Johann," says the castle owner. "Then there was braised beef in a clay pot. Beef was often served at court in Vienna. Emperor Franz Josef, whose favorite dish was known to be boiled beef, also loved the dish."

The dessert was unusual: almond pudding was prepared. "It's not a problem nowadays. In imperial times, however, almonds were not available in Austria. They had to be bought in Italy. An expensive thing, so this dessert was only prepared at court."

And after six hours behind the stove, the amateur chefs were finally able to taste the dishes they had prepared themselves.

Now Aunt Jolesch is moving to Grades Castle: "On Mother's Day, we will be cooking according to her recipes," reveals Staus-Rausch.
