We had a trip to Budapest and picked up sweet and spicy paprika for our three kids and their significant others. So with a gift such as this we felt a cookbook was in order so they could use the spice in a traditional manner. Thus far its a hit! They’ve tried several recipes with their paprika and haven’t stopped.

I gave this book 5 stars because it accomplishes so many things at once that most cookbooks fail to do! Its genuine and honest tone captures you and makes you want to refer to the book again and again. It makes you feel like your grandma is talking you through the experience. It also helps that it is written without the assumption that all Hungarian spices and other ingredients will be available at any part of the world... And most of all, it's not just about the food, it's about tradition and life in Hungary too. It helps the non-Hungarian reader understand the occasions for which a dish is prepared, as well as remind the Hungarian reader of their childhood experiences of eating those dishes. Reading certain parts of it brought back memories that made me emotional and want to prepare the food then and there. :)The book gives some background on the language too, and helps beginner cooks with some basic tips, reminding others of those same ones in an effective, no nonsense manner. Short cuts always help, as do "rescues" for any dish and I enjoy learning about other cooks' methods before reading their recipes. This book has a great structure for that.I see some reviewers complaining that the book leaves out some ingredients and makes things "bland" but the truth is that sometimes it just isn't practical to make things the old school "hearty and Hungarian" way. If you are ordering this book from Amazon in English, chances are that you live outside of Hungary and trying to cook with what you can buy in your local "ethnic food store". You are probably also cooking for your non-Hungarian friends, some of whom were not raised with food that spicy. Making the food more "authentic" will mean that they may never try it again, or they will forever talk about how they were "traumatized" by your cooking. Last but not least, there has been a change in cooking styles in Hungary too. The younger generation tends to cook less, well... Some would call it less flavorful.Lard has been replaced by olive oil (there goes 50% of the flavor you grew up with), salt use has been decreased to a third of what it used to be (there goes the rest of the flavor), there is less paprika and more "exotic spices" used, and overall everything is more likely to be prepared in healthier ways. I feel that this cookbook is somewhere in the middle of the road. Not quite Lajos Mari style "hardcore" and authentic, but also not completely bland and boring as some reviews suggest. It contains a great number of recipes that you and your family will enjoy for a long time to come, that are explained in an easy to understand manner and that you will want to share with others. I have given this book as a gift as well as used it myself and would give it no less than 5*.

You want to try Hungarian food? This is the book for you? Buy it and make some comfort food...no complicated recipes here...just fun cooking and so tasty! I find books much better than on-line recipes! Easy to have a book at hand rather than my notebook....just when you need the notebook it turns off.

This book has nice recipes but many of them are not traditional Hungarian. This expanded addition includes breads but it is disappointing to see a recipe using packaged cranberry quick bread with added orange juice. It isn't Hungarian and it isnt even worthy f being in a cookbook. This paperback is on cheap paper and wont last. This revised version lacks the colored illustrations from the earlier book. If you are looking for a good traditional book try George Langs Cuisine of Hungary. If you are looking for easy recipes that taste ok and are kind of traditional this book is ok.

I purchased this cookbook for my father. His mother, my grandmother, was from Hungary, was a fabulous cook and taught my father to cook several true Hungarian dishes. My father found several recipes he didn't know and was excited to try. He also validated that the book had "real" Hungarian recipes because the ones he knew had the same ingredients my grandmother used in the same dishes. He was very pleased to receive the book and I felt great knowing he liked it and it would be put to good use.

When I bought this book I expected recipes that had been handed down through generations. I didn't expect the wonderful stories from Mrs. Fintor's life. She shared stories regarding Feast and special holidays her family keep dear to their hearts. Even though her grandparents migrated here from Hungary, they brought Hungary with them and I am so glad they did.

The author occasionally inserted some childhood memories of growing up in a Hungarian household. Her memories are similar to mine. If she should revise this cookbook, I hope she adds more such stories. Those little stories make it more than just a standard ethnic cookbook and that is why I actually chose this Hungarian cookbook to order.
