Since it is my first visit, I am looking forward to tasting Linzer Torte, the nutty jam-filled cake named after the town. The first recorded recipes for Linzer Torte date from the 17th century. It is therefore believed to be the oldest known cake recipe in the world.
And from the outset, there wasn’t just one recipe, but a range of variants with slight differences in ingredients and ways of preparing it. Thus, there is one problem that every baker has to solve: which is the “right” recipe? When we talk at this conference about the future of economic and monetary union, we are in a somewhat similar position.
