1.0 out of 5 stars For God's Sake, Don't Buy This Cookbook!, December 28, 1999

By	Robert Kleinman (New York, New York) - See all my reviews

When I first thumbed through this cookbook, my immediate thought was that some dreadful mistake had been made, and that I'd been sent the wrong cookbook. After all, the recipes (largely unfamiliar to Hungarians, but that's another story) were generally followed by only one paragraph of text. In fact, what I've written up to this point was about all the information the author provided the reader in making each dish.

Well... ghastly, awful, a joke... all three of these terms would fairly and accurately descibe this so-called cookbook. But then it dawned on me, surely this is one of those vanity press jobs. And taken in that light, I think Amazon really ought to point out that fact to would-be buyers ahead of time. So please don't get fooled like I was. Repacking it and returning it to Amazon was certainly no pleasure.

5.0 out of 5 stars A few comments from That Hungarian..., June 1, 2007

By	Linda F. Radke Publications (Chandler AZ) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

These recipes are enjoyed by a family with Hungarian roots who happen to be Jewish and enjoy kosher cooking. The book promises to give you some Hungarian, American, and kosher recipes and that it does. Signed ... That Hungarian - Linda F. Radke, [...].

3.0 out of 5 stars The Joy of Hungarian Kosher Cooking, December 9, 2003

By	alan schreck (bronx, ny United States) - See all my reviews

I grew up with Hungarian kosher cooking. My family comes from Kisvarda and Szeredne and Tokaj, and it's an insult to us, and to the martyrs from those places, to say that their cooking was a joke.

There's nothing like the smell of a hot goulash cooking on a cold winter day to warm a person, and to lift his/her spirits.

I enjoy and continue to enjoy Linda Radke's recipes. I just wish she had included more, such as fluden and g'ribener peas.
