I have dreamed of creating a cookbook for many years.  Collecting recipes has always
been our family's way.  My late husband
Joe and I started collection our family heritage
recipes following our marriage in 1966.  We were given a recipe booklet by grandmother
as wedding gift, which was created by her and her mother Helen when she was a young
woman in the summer of 1891.  We created our cookbooks in the sixties and in 1990 we
have printed our first booklet.  We treasured our family and our Hungarian heritage so
much, that we decided to call the booklet  
The Treasured Hungarian Family
Recipes
™.  The subtitle of this little piece of our family was titled Our Mom's Hungarian
Heritage Recipes
™.  We planned on publishing a full cookbook in 1991 for our Silver
Wedding Anniversary
.  But Life had something else to say.  My husband's death finally
put a halt on my little project.  Upon my daughter's forceful, but still loving "suggestion" I
started to work on my books.  The rest is history, today I have 7
books and countless e-
books
.  Even though my loving husband is gone now, I still carry his love with me through
our memories and the titles of my cookbooks that we dreamed up together.

Kifli - Croissant
is the most
popular savoury
pastry of
Hungary.  It could
be served
instead of bread
or dinner rolls.  Its
texture is similar
to that of a bagel,
however it is
much lighter.  You
may also use it
as a sandwich
bread or serve
on its own.

wine makers to create such beautiful countries in the world, beautiful countries in the
world, blessed with soil that enables wine makers to create such world-famous wines as
the delicate, golden "Tokaji Aszu" also called "The Nectar of the Gods".

The robust, and fiery "Bull's Blood".  Legend has it that during the 16th century the Turks
surrounded the City of Eger. After many days of fighting they were surprised to see that
the Hungarian warriors gained strength by drinking a deep red liquid.  Learning that the
Turks sent spies to find out what the concoction was, the clever captain of the fortress of
Eger spread the rumour that his warriors were drinking bull's blood.  The Turks were so
terrified of the bloodthirsty Hungarians that they gave up fighting for the fortress and left
without looking back.
 























































Hungarian Chicken Paprikash is a National Treasure, and one of the symbols of
Hungary.  The
author Helen's Hungarian Heritage Recipe Collection in Treasured
Hungarian Family Recipes 1,2 and Mom's Hungarian Heritage Recipes by Helen M
Radics include this original, traditional recipe.  There is no country in the world that hasn't
heard of this brilliant red dish with a flavour on its own.  It's fiery red colour is achieved by
another Hungarian symbol, the
Hungarian Red Paprika powder.  Outside of Hungary
"Szegedi" paprika is the best known, however every housewife in Hungary swears by the
red paprika of
Kalocsa, which is considered to be the best in the country.  

Interestingly enough Hungarians didn't even know the paprika
plant until the 16th century, during which time the Ottoman
Empire has invaded Hungary and brought with them many
exotic spices and plants, including the paprika plant.  However
during this time Hungarians used the plant as decoration for
its pretty flower.



































Honey Gerbeaud Slice (Mezes Zserbo in Hungarian) is another version of the
delectable Gerbeaud Slice (Zserbo) from the world-famous Gerbeaud Cafe of Budapest.  
Its delicate, custard-like cream will make this light dessert slice a family favourite in no
time.

You may also bake it in a cake form, fill it and dust it with unsweetened cocoa powder to
create an original cake fit for any occasion.

popular in recent years especially in Canada and the United States where culinary experts
incorporate it into more and more dishes or have them as a main course.  Their natural
habitat is South America and they are also called "Musco Ducks" because of their
favourite diet, mosquitoes.  People become very curious of these special birds due to
their unique appearance and special flavour.  Some people dislike them for the very same
reason and also due to their aggression and messiness.  However, these birds are highly
intelligent, trusting and friendly.  

Many people keep them as pets and exhibition birds.  It is also known as "Barbary Duck".  
I became aware of these birds in one of the local specialty stores a few years ago.  

I like to roast the legs especially for the unique flavour of the roast, that is very different
from regular ducks.  It is a nice change from chicken and turkey.  Enjoy them with red wine


















Vegeta is a powdered vegetable soup base, very popular in
Europe, especially as a Chicken Soup Base.  You may also
use it as a rub for roast chicken, duck or pork chops.  There
many uses for this versatile soup base.  I always use fresh
ingredients, but also like to add a little bit (about a teaspoon)
of Vegeta to my dishes.  You may also add some to your rice
water, boiled potato water or turkey / chicken gravy.  Using it
in a gravy is best when you drain it prior to thickening it, to the vegetable pieces.  You
would want your gravy to be smooth.  There are many other similar products on the
market, such as Delicate, but Vegeta is the most popular by all means.   It is readily
available in all European and gourmet stores
.



Grape Seed Oil is very beneficial for your overall health.  The health effects of grapes
have recently been attributed to the presence of antioxidants, and the seeds of grapes
contain many of these healing compounds.

Grape seeds have been pressed for their oil for several centuries, used for its medicinal
properties and as a popular skin treatment and cosmetics ingredient, and as a carrier oil
for treatment with essential oils and aromatherapy.

Grape seed extract is a safe supplement taken as a pill or a
capsule. The best effect has been noticed in the circulatory system, and include healing and supporting healthy
blood vessels.  The
antioxidants in grape seed extract may prevent cancer. Grape seed
extract is useful for its effects on high blood pressure, artherosclerosis, vision problems,
and reducing cholesterol and swelling.

Grape seed oil helps to
prevent wrinkles in several ways.  The first is by
moisturizing…replacing sebum removed during cleansing.  The second is by locking
moisture in and keeping toxins out of the pores with it unique filming ability.  It dries to a
lightweight invisible film a few moments after application.

Third is the antioxidant content. The antioxidants are probably just as important as the fatty
acids.  They help to prevent and repair free radical damage, one of the primary causes of
cellular aging.  Grape seed oil has proven to be an effective natural skin care treatment for
repairing the delicate area around the eyes.  Elsewhere on the body, it has proven to be
beneficial for reducing stretch marks.  It supports blood vessel strength and helps to
protect against the collagen breakdown typically accompanying the aging process.
