How to Cook dishes from Hungary
Goulash is of course a very well-known Hungarian dish,
but Hungarian cuisine also offers a wide range of other dishes.
Many Hungarian dishes feature paprika
(which is believed to have been introduced by the Ottoman Turks who invaded
Hungary in 1526), and
sour cream and eggs are other common ingredients used in
the Hungarian kitchen.
Here are some popular Hungarian recipes:
- Guly´sleves - A Hungarian meat soup, known overseas as "goulash".
It is traditionally made in a cauldron from beef and onions, and flavored with paprika.
Potatoes, pasta squares, tomatoes, carrots, and fresh peppers may be added to the soup, and
it may also contain hot chilies, or be flavored with garlic, herbs, or white wine. There
are actually many different variations of the recipe, each with their own names and particular
combinations of ingredients.
- Halészlé - A fish soup made with mixed freshwater fish and onions, and flavored with paprika.
- Hideg meggyleves - A soup made from sour cherries, and served cold.
As well as fresh sour cherries, it usually contains fresh cream and spices such as (allspice, cinnamon
and cloves). Sometimes normal cherries may be added, and sour cream is often used instead of fresh
cream. Hideg meggyleves can be eaten as an appetizer or as a dessert!
- Pecsenye - Pork served with cabbage.
- Pörkölt - Meat stew.
- Stef´nia szelet - The Hungarian version of meatloaf with hard-boiled eggs in the middle.
- Töltött paprika - Peppers stuffed with ground meat, rice and spices.
- Töltött k´poszta - Stuffed cabbage.
Some popular Hungarian desserts include:
- Dobos torta - A layered sponge cake, covered with chocolate, caramel and nuts.
It is named after its inventor, the Hungarian confectioner, József C. Dobos.
- Linzertorte - A tart made from a crumbly pastry containing ground almonds, and filled
with jam. The top of the tart usually has a lattice design with strips of pastry, and
decorated with almonds. The dish is named for the city of
Linz in
Austria, where the recipe
originated.
- Rétes - The Hungarian version of strudel.
- Rigó Jancsi - A cube-shaped cake made from two layers of chocolate sponge cake. In between
the two layers is a chocolate cream filling, and the top of the cake is also glazed with chocolate.

Click Here | Product Description: A Taste of the Past is an entertaining reconstruction of the daily life and household of Therese (Riza) Baruch (1851-1938), the great-grandmother of the author, Andras Koerner. Based on an unusually complete cache of letters, recipes, personal artifacts, and eyewitness testimony, Koerner describes in loving detail the domestic life of a nineteenth-century Hungarian Jewish woman, with special emphasis on the meals she served her family.
Based on Riza's letters, part one offers an imaginative sketch of growing up in a religious middle-class family in the 1860s and 70s in an industrial town in western Hungary. Part one also describes Riza's reactions to the dilemmas posed by the early signs of Jewish assimilation. In part two, the heart of the book, Riza has married, moved to a smaller town near the Austrian border, and become the central figure of a large household. Koerner recreates a typical day in the life of Riza and her family, peppering his narrative with recipes of the food she served for breakfast, mid-morning snack, lunch, afternoon coffee-and-cake, and the much more modest evening meal.
Riza's family was religious, and Koerner also describes the special foods (pike in sour aspic, cholent, apple-matzo kugel, and much more) she served to celebrate the Sabbath and the six major Jewish holidays. Short introductions to the recipes describe the evolution of the dishes through the centuries, their role in Jewish culture, and how cultural influences and religious traditions shaped Riza's cooking.
More than 125 evocative pen-and-ink illustrations bring Riza's story and her food to life. A Taste of the Past offers an enchanting look at Jewish daily life in western Hungary in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, a time when middle-class Jews were increasingly assimilated into mainstream Hungarian life and culture. Such small-town Jewish life had completely disappeared due to the Holocaust. Koerner's book revives this lost world and invites the reader to be a guest in Riza's house to watch her caring for her family, shopping, cooking, and preparing for the holidays. By offering easy-to-follow updated versions of her recipes, the book also allows readers to savor Riza's dishes and desserts in their own kitchens, thus completing this experience of a visit to the past. |
