Do you want to see how the little calf will be born?- asks me Ani, my neighbor at the beginning of the week and I immediately say “yes” then start to hesitate whether I am really brave enough to see it. Finally my countryside living ability won’t be tested this way- the baby calf is…
Soon I am going to celebrate my 35th birthday. This number is a kind of mystic for me, maybe because it seems to be an important milestone in life. I am an optimistic person so I presume I will live 100 years- at least I am sure I have enough plans for further 70 years so…
As we get closer to summer there is more and more work to do in the kitchen and the garden. As usually i try to get done everything right away which ends up in a tragic, exhausted moment when I realize that it is impossible. At least not immediately. First of all I need to…
A real Hungarian classic. It is fast, easy but has its own tricks. Do you want to guess? This post will be about “tojásos nokedli”, Hungarian dumplings with eggs accompanied by cucumber salad with sour cream. When I was a child my mother often cooked it.

Almost every week I…

Plants needed this rain so much, the soil absorbs water gratefully, while people take out the warm clothes and rubber boots from the cupboard. On my way…
I haven’t written about my dear friend, Meli, and it is really high time to do it. Meli is a very talented photographer who has a special sense of catching moments and recognize „the Human” in everyone. Not the person he or she wants to show but the real personality within. We met a couple of years ago…
I am reading the recipe which my mother sent to me and I am in trouble. I want to prepare kugelhopf, a cake which was one of my favorites when I was a child. It is perfect for breakfast or to the afternoon tea or you just grab a slice during the day when you…
Tócsi (pronunciation) is a dish in Hungary which is called in many ways depending on the region. Wikipedia mentions 35 different names and most probably it will cause a debate among people who come from different parts of the country which name is the original. It is a dish a bit like rösti but not…
