I don’t think a Hungarian could live without Kolbasz. The soft, smoke cured, heavily seasoned with paprika, links of sausage originally created in the town of Gyula. Gyulai Kolbasz is the national sausage I think. I know it was what my refugee parents missed as I was growing up. After we settled down and had…

Mushroom Paprikas’ with buttered parsley rice
Trying to find the balance between taking too much and too little. I had made enough to cover lunch and dinner, so not all of it was eaten. I have to work on labeling and packaging, I’m getting there. Labels either don’t stick or stick too well and I can’t get them off the containers….

Pasta Faglioli Soup
My take on Pasta Fagioli soup. There are as many versions as there are cooks. My Hungarian cooking is extremely similar to northern Italian cooking, so it’s not much of a stretch.

Fish and Chips: A Culinary Love Letter
When I had a shilling to spend for food, I chose between pasties or fish and chips. The shops were almost next to each other. One was a bakery that made the pasties, the other a fish and chip shop. They were both across the street from my Nelson Central School. I love fish…
