This is a pie for chocolate lovers. Pecans can be substituted with walnuts, almonds, and cashews, or a combination of all of these. Here are a few tricks about pie making.

Cauliflower & parmesan soup – Parmezánsajtos karfiolleves
I read in a cookbook recently, that when having guests for dinner – especially if it’s a big party – we should serve soup as the first course. We could make it a day or two earlier and this would cut back on the work on the day of the gathering. In another book the author stated that we shouldn’t be serving soup because that would definitely add to the number of dishes we will need to clean. Whatever it is that you prefer, cooking and eating soup is always a good idea – especially now that the weather is […]
Brussels sprouts with white beans and Pecorino – Kelbimbó fehérbabbal és pecorinóval
I must admit we don’t eat too many Brussels sprouts in my house. This might easily change. Both Steve and I really liked this dish in which roasted Brussels sprouts are combined with white beans and cheese.
Slow-roasted nuts with sage leaves – Lassan pörkölt vegyes dió zsályalevéllel
How about a quick snack today? Maybe from different kinds of nuts? You might want these around your house for the holidays. They are very delicious both warm and at room temperature.
Thanksgiving recipes – Amerikai hálaadásnapi receptek
Today, I am not posting a recipe that I have tried in my kitchen. Instead – since Thanksgiving is upon us very quickly – here are a few recipes, which I collected from some of my favorite food blogs. They might inspire you and you might give some of them a try this year, or maybe later. I know, I definitely will.
Baked rice pudding – Rizskók
I’ve been using this recipe for a baked rice pudding for many years. When my friend Zsuzsa offered for me to taste the pudding for the first time, I knew I had found one of my favorite recipes, and since that time I’ve never used a different recipe.
Quinoa with sautéed mushrooms & cheese – Quinoa pirított gombával és sajttal
For a quick and delicious lunch, I often choose one of my favorite gluten free grains, quinoa. This time I served it with sautéed crimini mushrooms and goat cheese, resulting in an overall great flavor. I adapted the recipe from Heidi Swanson’s wonderful book Super Natural Cooking.
Chocolate chunk brownies – Csokis brownie
This dessert is a classic. Deliciousness is guaranteed. The recipe is from Frame-by-Frame Baking, a visual step-by-step cookbook from the British series Love Food. But even without these kinds of illustrative photos, the making of these brownies is incredibly easy.
Books, stories, and recipes – Könyvek, történetek és receptek
For me, reading is an essential and beloved activity. It has always been and it always will be. I used to read a lot as a kid, as a teenager often late into the night, as a college student on crowded streetcars and buses, juggling the book in one hand and holding on to the rail with the other. I still do – all of the above. My days don’t feel complete unless they are finished with reading.
Quick kohlrabi and apple slaw – Gyors almás karalábésaláta
Kohlrabi is one of my favorite vegetables. Paired with apples, a quick slaw – full of vitamins – can be created from it. It’s refreshing and crunchy, simple and very delicious on its own, or as a side dish.
Classical pancakes – Klasszikus amerikai palacsinta
It’s probably safe to say that for many people – especially in America – pancakes belong to the category of favorite breakfast foods. In any season.
Little chocolate turnovers – Kis csokis párnák
I still use store bought puff pastry – and not homemade – when the recipe calls for it. It’s very convenient and time saving. This is a big enough reason for me not to embark on making it from scratch – not yet.
