Next, she joined the kitchens of several top restaurants around the world, including establishments in Kitzbühel and Florida. In 1997 she returned to St. Aegyd am Neuwalde and decided to take over the family business. At restaurant Zum Blumentritt, she conjures up fabulous Alpine cuisine. We asked Ulli some questions to get to know her better, about her culinary career, her favourite ingredient to work with, and much more.

Game caught in the local forests.
I love to cook anything that I enjoy eating myself.

What is the biggest challenge you’ve faced in your culinary career?
By far, the most challenging event for me was the Millennium party on New Year's Eve 2000.
Which gastronomic trend are you excited about the most?
Back to the roots.
If you could only eat one dish for the rest of your life, what would that be?
Krautfleckerl, a traditional Austrian dish with pasta and cabbage.
What’s one thing in the area that your guests absolutely need to see or do?
I would tell visitors to simply enjoy the tranquillity of our forests and the beautiful landscape.
Thank you, Ulli.
