An overview of Hungarian cookery, including information about the country's geography, history, holidays, and festivals. Features simple recipes, menu planning, and information about low-fat cooking and vegetarian options.

These Old World recipes were brought to America by the author's grandparents, but they have been updated to accommodate today's faster-paced lifestyles. In many cases, the author presents a New World version of the recipe, in which low-fat and more readily available ingredients are substituted without compromising flavor. This collection includes timeless dishes, and spans the range of home cooking with recipes for Kohlrabi Soup, Stuffed Cabbage, Chicken Paprika, and a host of tempting dishes like Walnut Torte and Dilled Cottage Cheese Cake. The new chapter on breads focuses on yeast breads, with a short section on quick breads. It includes recipes for Sour Cream Biscuits, Hungarian Fried Bread, and Beer Bread Sticks, among others. This is more than just a collection of 142 enticing Hungarian recipes. The author offers culinary tips, explains characteristics of the Hungarian language, and includes a glossary of terms used throughout the book. Several chapters also describe the seasonal and ceremonial observances transplanted from Hungary and still practiced by Americans of Hungarian descent: bacon cookouts, fall grape festivals, weddings, baptisms, Christmas, New Year's, and Easter celebrations.
