You know it’s good!

Are you hungry for the sensual culinary delights of Budapest and the Blue Danube? Could it be you ate some delicious feast at a European restaurant and now would like to see if you can recreate the wonderful smells of Hungary in your own home? Or perhaps a dear Hungarian friend in American treated you with a home cooked meal, and you would like to return the favor?

American food is different. We like our meat and even our vegetables grilled, our wine from California, and our potatoes baked or French fried. You know the cliche about a good home-cooked American meal: steak and potatoes. Now, of course, that’s a generalization, but the recipes and techniques you’ll find in these books will tease you back to that first memory of tasting the way food used to be. Long before McDonald’s and Subway, before Taco Bell and Olive Garden were the predominant ‘ethnic’ dining option, there was Mom and Grandma doing things to food that made dinner more than just eating.
