Hungarian cuisine is one of the most delicious in Europe. With its world-renowned paprika, goulash and stews, it has a rich, spicy and somewhat heavy reputation. However, there is more to it than that! It is one of the richest cuisines in the world, yet its roots are in everyday life. This is evidenced by the nostalgic recipes in the collection and the bite-sized yet meaningful texts summarising each chapter, which provide a glimpse into the rich world of Hungarian gastronomy.
In this book, you will find all the eternal classics that have been part of Hungarian cuisine since the 19th and early 20th centuries. Try Jókai bean soup, stuffed peppers, curd cheese pasta and potato scones and discover the cultural and cohesive power of Hungarian cuisine.
