| | Travel Classics: GUARDIAN OF THE SACHERTORTE: Fred Ferretti |
 | | That the Demel's torte is virtually identical to the Sachertorte, or that the Imperial Hotel boxes its Imperial Torte in a small white wood crate quite like the one that contains the torte created at the Sacher, bothers Pfliegler not at all. |
 | | All around Pfliegler are the men and women who are the brigade of the Sachertorte: a dozen people breaking eggs; separating yolks from whites (all eggs are separated by hand, often seven thousand in a day); and mixing a batter of eggs, flour, sugar, butter, and chocolate. |
 | | A sharp-nosed man, his graying hair sleeked back under a toque, his face eagle-like, his apron anchoring red-collared chef's whites, he darts about his kitchen, here gently pressing a cake layer to see if it is sufficiently spongy, there touching a finger to a bowl of batter or preserves. |
