Before I started my blog, like any good intellectual, I did in depth research. I wanted to know everything about blogs. I checked out many of them in different categories and my feelings were mixed. Sometimes I thought I could also do it, at some other times I felt it wasn’t for me – blogging was the game of the younger generation.
Happy fall, everyone! Kellemes őszt mindenkinek!
No, this is not my grandmother’s apple cake. I’ve been baking it from the Hungarian cookbook Gyümölcsös édesség by Mari Lajos for decades.
Do you wish to see a truly one-of-a-kind park? The High Line Park of New York City is like no other. My husband Steve and I experienced its autumn beauty while taking a leisurely walk through one third of its entire 1.45 miles length exactly a year ago, when we found ourselves unexpectedly in New York.
In one of our raised beds the arugula looked really wonderful the other day, ready to be used. I harvested it all – some for a tasty salad, some for some sandwiches.
On some of the islands of Puget Sound around Seattle, WA, there are many lavender farms and annual lavender festivals – a favorite destination for many in the summer. It was already a few years ago during one of these festivals where I tasted my first lavender scone and bought my first little bag of dried culinary lavender.
This is a very satisfying, healthy, baked breakfast dish. Although not the quickest, but definitely one of the easiest ways of preparing oats – in our household suitable as a weekend project.
From the many ways of preparing potatoes, I love the simplicity of these roasted ones with caraway seeds and flaky sea salt. Perfect and very delicious as a side to any roast meat or just by itself.
Sometimes the simplest food is the best. When faced with the choice whether to eat a bowl of store bought cereal for breakfast or something else – which might actually need quick preparation – I prefer the latter. Even on workdays.
In many Hungarian meat recipes you start with a pörkölt, then you enhance this base to create a new dish. Such is the case with this popular one-pot dish called székelygulyás. Székely is an ethnic group of Hungarians in Transylvania (Romania) but the dish is not named after them.
If you need a quick and easy recipe for a summer dessert, you just found one.
In these days, you can often read that you should be eating baked goods made with whole wheat flour. Yes, but sometimes you just need a piece of delicious white bread.
