I have become a big fan of Hungary with the recent political events in Eastern Europe. I love that the country is pro-Hungarian citizen and is trying to protect them. Since western Europe is completely unsafe to travel to, I am planning a big trip to Hungary. This book offers a great overview of the country and its people. The knowledge of George Lang is fantastic and to anyone wanting to try a new cuisine this book won't disappoint.

Bought this for my neice for a Christmas present . I have a copy of it myself and love it . I bought my copy back in the 80s and never grown tired of it .
Part cookbook , part history book , this book has much more than recipes . It's an impressive work . Totally engaging , it will be a book you'll find yourself referring not only for recipes but nuggets of information on Hungarian and European history .

This is slow food as it was meant to be. Same for the baking. Wholesome ingredients, hearty food, light fresh pastry. All are easily made as organic as well. It's also worth noting that the Hungarian stews (goulashes, paprikash, etc.) are extremely well-suited for a crockpot and freeze well. Just make sure you use good authentic paprika as your base.

This is a great addition to my cookbook collection. When we were in Budapest, we had dinner at the Lang restaurant and it was great. These recipes bring back memories of eating at my grandmother's house when I was a child.

I got this book for my friend who is part Hungarian and he really loved it! He not only liked the recipes, but he loves all the neat little facts and such about Hungary!

My husband is of Hungarian descent and has taken an interest in finding recipes like his grandmother made for him as a child. This was a Christmas present to him and he loves it!
Cordalas
This is an old classic which was not in our collection. It is a wonderful tour de force of Hungarian cuisince, including pastries. A must-have.
I so missed my old, original Lang Cuisine, lost to a fire. Imagine my delight to find one on Amazon! I purchased the 'used' book because of price, and hoped for the best; could not be more pleased!
