FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T SHOP ON AMAZON, JUST WANTED TO SHARE THE LOVELY REVIEWS THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED.  KEEP THEM COMING.


BESTSELLERS in CANADA - Just a friendly note - have seen many authors brag about being best-sellers.  You have to EARN bragging rights - like selling the # of books that is allowed those honours.  In Canada you must sell 10,000 books in a single market.  Then and only then are you Best-Sellers.

When an 85 year old seasoned chef (Ilona Szabo) and her daughter (Clara M. Czegney) and her graphic artist photographer (Evangeline Mackell) hit the list - listen up!

Review

Clara Czegeny's cookbook is a small treasure with a big heart. The loving result of a desire to honour an aging parent. Gathering the best entries from her mother's memories and scribbled papers to create a cornucopia of Hungarian dishes that will delight even the most discerning palate. Clara s daughter, Evangeline H.H. Mackell of Design in Bloom is the accomplished photographer and graphic artist for the cookbook. Truly, a three generation wonder! Written in a homey style and packaged in an excellent way to be very useful to the working chef or anyone interested in reading and learning about Hungarian folklore. The book is informative, fun and sensibly priced. A great buy in my books! --Dr. Gordon M. Balfour, BusMgr-Writer-Gideons International In Canada, 2006

Easy for some, with cookbooks and family recipes for quick reference, not a problem for most of us. Imagine, however, that the creative chef and her secret recipes has most ingredients and methods for preparation stored in her head, with only bits of information jotted down on scraps of paper and the backs of envelopes, sometimes in Hungarian, or Swedish, German, or even Russian. --Kit McDermott, Senior Editior, Lifestyles, Brantford Expositor - Feb, 2006
