Welcome to June Meyer's
Authentic Hungarian Heirloom
Recipe Index Page
I love to cook, and I enjoy cooking and eating many different ethnic foods. But there is something spiritual and comforting about cooking and baking foods that your ancestors loved and thrived on. Most of Hungary's food was formed and influenced by the cuisines of many different peoples (Turkish, Swiss, Alsacian, French, Dutch, Italian, German, Bohemian-Moravian, Hungarian, Polish, Croatian, Slovenian, Slovakian, Serbian, Romanian, and Jewish cuisines) during the many centuries of the Austrian Habsburg Empires expansion. They are peasant dishes which took advantage of the bounty of the land, requiring slow cooking while the farmers worked in the fields. These are stick to the ribs, clog your arteries food. But they are exceptionally flavorful and unforgettable.
