My vegan dishes are created in my mind and executed in my kitchen by me. Many are from my imagination, and yes, I can run tastes in my mind. Many more are based on my childhood memories. Both my parents were excellent cooks and gardeners, with generations before them who knew how to cook and grow good food. Many of these soups and stews are based on my family’s style and method of cooking, yet, there is a very strong global fusion in what I make, because I’m intensely curious about the world.

I find food defines regions and cultures so much better than political borders ever could. I think my style of cooking mostly resembles Northern Italian, French and a little German, with a touch of paprika. Not as rich or heavy as Hungarian cuisine sometimes can be. Do you know Hungarians love their noodles and have so many different types, second only to Italy? It’s a fact, and I can’t wait to delve into pasta and noodle making and share these incredible Hungarian dishes.
