Hungarian Cookbook: Old World Recipes for New World Cooks (Hippocrene International Cookbooks) Tapa dura - 2001

Información de la editorial

These Old World recipes were brought to America by the author's grandparents, but they have been updated to accommodate today's faster-paced lifestyle. 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. Hungarian cuisine is known for generous amounts of paprika, sour cream, bacon and garlic in famous dishes like "Chicken Paprika" and "Hungarian Goulash". This collection includes these classics, and spans the range of home cooking with recipes for "Bean with Sausage Soup", "Stuffed Breast of Veal", "Hungarian Creamed Spinach", and a host of tempting desserts like "Walnut Torte", and "Dilled Cottage Cheese Cake".

This is more than just a collection of 125 enticing Hungarian recipes. Eight chapters also describe the seasonal and ceremonial holidays that Hungarian-Americans celebrate today with special foods: fall grape festivals; Christmas, New Year's and Easter; summer cookouts; weddings and baptisms. The book also includes culinary tips, a glossary of terms, and explanations about the Hungarian language.
