Review
While ethnic cookbooks tend to be the most complicated and laborious to follow, Kende tried to make hers a step-by-step education beginning with the simplest Hungarian classic and ending with the most complex...... It used to be the mark of a good cook was the sweat on her brow, but in the second half of this century I'd say it's your versatility, creativity and do it as fast as you can and get on with the rest of your life..... -- The Calgary Herald
From the Publisher
Eva's Hungarian Kitchen was originally published in 1984 and is now in 4th printing by popular demand. The book contains over 300 kitchen tested recipes, using readily available ingredients. The methods have been adapted to take advantage of the work-saving tools of the modern kitchen and to reduce the use of fat in keeping with the dictates of modern nutrition. Most of the ingredients needed to recreate these traditional foods are readily available in the average North American supermarket.
This is the "soul-food" of Hungarians dispersed in the diaspora. Introductory chapters on history, tradition and anecdotes throughout, richly convey the authentic atmosphere of the "Old Country".
