Fall In Love With Hungarian Food by Clara Czegeny

Fall In Love With Hungarian Food! 


..Fall In Love With Hungarian Food -
For The First Time or A Lifetime!...

Hungarian cuisine is ingenious, flexible, imaginative and full of flavour.  The flavours of Hungary will satisfy any palate. If you recall the family meals you ate as a child as the best tasting ever, then your memory serves you right. That's because the primary ingredient was love. Preparing and eating food close ties to your ethnic roots can, and does make for more enjoyment and fonder memories.

Ethnic cooking is an important family bonding agent that also links us to our ancestral roots. It is one element of a shared commonality that must be passed down to each generation. You can sometimes glean history from a country’s dishes.  Such is the case with Hungary. In Budapest, patriotism is kept alive through the old dishes and traditions. Desserts are named for composers, emperors, counts and operas. To appreciate the dishes and desserts of old Hungary, we've include a section on Hungary’s history and background.
 

Helens Hungarian Heritage Recipes cookbook contains over 440 mouth-watering,  and time-honoured classic recipes. We have included the ever-popular Hungarian classic specialties such as: Gulyás Leves, Nokedli, Csirke Paprikás, Pörkölt, Töltött Káposzta, Lesco, Kolbász, Palancsinta, Rétes and Dobos Torta.

These are just some of my favourites; I hope you will find yours in the pages of this great cook. From the spice meaty goulash to the paper thin strudels, you will most certain find one you will love.

And remember...
