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
