It is almost unbelievable that I am writing the 110. post on the blog now. When I started Taste of Memories a few years ago, my original intention was to record, preserve and share the recipes of my family in order to bring joy to other’s lives through the tastes that will inevitably create new…
The renovation of our house arrived to the final and most exciting stage. Day by day it becomes cosier and more home-like and suddenly I cannot stop my always-dreaming imagination. I see painted walls instead of the plastered surfaces, tiles instead of concrete, washbasin instead of water pipes and of course I can already see…
One and a half year ago I wrote a blog post about semolina pudding, or as we call it in my family: pepi. I underlined how undeservedly neglected is this dessert and tried to verify my statement with visual evidences. My boyfriend Áron and I are still big fan of semolina pudding but we cannot…
In this year’s last post I have planned something unusual for you. Something that close to the end of the year and in the middle of the pre-Christmas rush we tend to forget. A peaceful, quiet moment when we immerse ourselves in the enjoyment of a simple but creamy and delicious hot chocolate and make…

‘I thought this will be in good hands with you’, says Ica and she puts on the table a cylinder wrapped into brown paper and nicely tied with a ribbon. A yellowed, old recipe notebook is lying in front of me. It belonged to Ica’s grandmother and is wrapped into a little crochet tablecloth made…
Delicious home-made biscuit. A good one. Crunchy, friable with chocolate or vanilla flavour. Or both. I can grab it to the afternoon tea or the morning coffee. I can put it into the beautiful glass jar that we have on the top of our kitchen cupboard so we can take sometimes one piece out of…
Néger kocka, cocoa square is one of the real classics from our childhood in Hungary. It is an easy-to-prepare cocoa cake base with a sweet and creamy meringue and a sticky cocoa glaze on top. It is not the cake you can eat without thinking the high calorie intake, but when I am looking out of…
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…
