Hungarian Cooking Free Recipes, Free Poems, Free Hungarian History

Maybe you have already heard of the delights of Hungarian cuisine. The traditional Hungarian dishes abound in piquant flavors and aromas. Dishes are flavorful, spicy and often rather heavy. Hungarian gourmet traditions are as old as Hungarian culture, which has written history over a thousand years. Hungarian cooking is characterized by herbs like garlic, paprika and green parsley. Sour cream is another essential ingredient. I am providing easy-to-follow recipes for favorites like Cabbage Rolls, Chicken in Dill Sauce. This is truly an authentic site of Hungarian cuisine for family use and elegant entertaining in the old world tradition. I was born in the town of Tolna in the year 1950. Struggling against the harsh realities of living after the II World War, my parents had to work very hard to make ends meet and to raise her four sons, and my sister. Times were lean, so both of my parents had to work, so we had to learn early from my Grandma's way, to find new and creative ways to put nourishing, yet inexpensive, meals on the table. While some of her ingredients were found growing in nature, most of them came from her own garden. I remember my Grandma divided the garden for
each of us and helped us to grow herbs and vegetables. I learned quickly how to do

chopping, grounding, mixing, you name it - I did at all, doing all I can to help my Grandma with the cooking, learning to cook all the special Hungarian dishes. With both of my parents working, Grandma was the one mostly responsible for my upbringing. I frequently helped in the kitchen, gradually learning her simple approach to creating healthful, delicious, and easy-to-prepare meals. Today I'm very thankful for that opportunity.

Because of years I spent in Grandma's kitchen, I'm now able to pass her recipes and techniques on to you. This site provides a broad assortment of authentic Hungarian recipes perfected by my Grandmother, and by her mother before her. They include a number of basic Hungarian dishes, many of which you may already be familiar with. I think you will find them easy to prepare and delicious. Happy cooking!
