Both sides of my family are Hungarian and I grew up
having most of the these dishes as a child.

The only way I ever knew the recipes was by calling
my Mom or my Grandma, a province away, to ask what I
needed to complete a dish I relished as a child.

What a pleasant surprise to find a cookbook that had
everything I ever remembered. Some of the recipes
are identical to ones I have scratched down on pieces
of scrap paper

Thank you to the author for such an easy book to follow.

Hungarian Cookery has a special place in my heart, as I am of Hungarian ancestry. While there on the market a number of legacy recipe collections that are quite good, Eva's fills a different need.

Born in Hungary, she now lives in Canada. She and her husband John travel back regularly and her recipes are more correctly a blend of both traditional methods and current Hungarian cooking. I have tried a number of her recipes and they always work. I recommend her Langos, Roast Pork stuffed with Sausage (sometimes referred to as "in the manner of Debrecen"), and her Mock Venison. This is a worthwhile addition to any collection of Hungarian cookbooks. It is also an excellent value.

One of the things that makes this cookbook so great is that the index of recipe titles is in both Hungarian and English. If you only remember the recipe in Hungarian, no problem! The index directs you to the fully English written recipe with both ounces/pounds and kilograms. This is one of the first cookbooks I use for sure-fire rave reviews! Just like mom makes.
