This is a book that I bought several years ago and subsequently I lost. I try to locate it in second hand books ever since. The recipes are particularly tasty and well written. I am not very good with praises, but the fact that it is the first time that I ever felt the need to share my views on a book, might tell you something.

I have gone through several copies of this book both through constant use and giving copies to friends who express an interest in Hungarian cooking. As a Hungarian and a cook, I find this collection of recipes both authentic and easy to follow. If you are to have only one Hungarian cookbook on your shelf, this is the one.

I own several hangarian cookbooks, and I think that this one is the best. Not only is it authentic but it also contains easy to follow recipes. almost all the ingredients are available in Israel.

I bought this book 25 years ago when it was first published. At the time I had a friend from Budapest who said it met with his approval. The receipe for the poppy-seed & nut rolls produces pastry that is far superior to the same articles offered in delis & gourmet shops.
