Oven baked cherry crêpes – Cseresznyés palacsinta sütőben sütve
Do you like crêpes as much as I do? These traditional Hungarian crêpes are my favorites, but sometimes I am short on time or not in the mood to fry them individually, especially in the morning. Or when it’s hot out there in the summer. Here is a version for those kinds of days.
Cherry pastry – Cseresznyés béles
It’s finally cherry season in the Pacific Northwest! After seeing the amount of Rainier and Bing cherries we received a few days ago in our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) box, I knew immediately we wouldn’t just eat them in their natural form, but there would be baking with them as well.
Flowers on the first day of summer – Virágok a nyár első napján
I could have spent the first day of summer in Seattle in many different ways. I could have visited one of the beautiful parks of the city including a park on the beach of Puget Sound.

Nusskuchen – German nut cake – Német diós torta
A collection of international cake recipes from all over the world offering fascinating insights into their origins; this could be a short description of my newest cookbook, World’s Best Cakes by London chef Roger Pizey. The book has two extra perks for me: 1) the food photography was done by the talented Czech photographer Šárka Babická 2) it was a present from my son.
Parents share their thoughts – A szülők gondolatai

Students reflect on their portfolios – Idézetek a portfóliókból
Nothing speaks stronger about my students’ progress in mathematics and personal growth than their own words.

The reflections were a requirement of the portfolio assessment.
