About the Author

I wrote this book because friends always ask for my recipes. After their countless cooking disasters, they insisted that I put together a collection of recipes with an easy to follow step-by-step guide.

Not all the recipes in the book are mine. Some were handed down from my grandmother to my mother and then to me, some were given to me by friends, and others are the result of combining recipes with personal experience and taste.

This is one the greatest cookbooks I have. It's worth every penny. Very detailed, pictures for every step, easy to follow instructions.
I have tried several recipes from this book in the first week I got it. I just enjoyed surprising my family with easily and quickly prepared great tasting food. My whole family loved the tastes. Our favorite is the Hungarian Goulash. Great taste, easy to make, and finally I got the recipe!
What I really liked and helped me so much, that the author gives examples of where to shop for the ingredients, even have pictures of these products. The tip corner and the menu ideas are very helpful.

I truly recommend this cookbook for everyone who wants to try the true Hungarian taste with easy to understand recipes.

5.0 out of 5 stars All I Need......., March 2, 2004

This review is from: Magdi's Quick & Easy Hungarian & Other Gourmet Recipes (Spiral-bound)

I always loved Hungarian food and had it often because some of my Hungarian ex-boyfriends had mothers who always made Hungarian meals. Since I don't hang out with their mothers anymore (which is probably a good thing because I'm married now), all I need is this recipe book to find some really good meals. It's great because all of the steps and pictures are listed out for me. I'm really happy that I found this. I just made the goulash, cucumber salad and paprikas potato potpourri for my husband last weekend and we loved the meal! I think I'll try the Stuffed Cabbage next.
