Only three weeks left until Christmas . I realise that fact when I make a plan for the coming blog posts and all the recipes I would like to share with you. Although I am reading “In praise of slowness” written by Carl Honoré, my own life is far from being the synonym for slow….
Last week was really eventful and full of excitements. One thing is to blog week after week in my own little world, another thing is to make a presentation about gastronomy and Taste of Memories at the university and yet another is to bake potato brioche on a stage at Bakony Expo, an event celebrating…
“Would you come to Velem with me?”- I ask Áron at the beginning of September. This needs a short explanation for non-Hungarians because this question is a joke with the words. Velem, beside of the fact that it is the name of a village in Western Hungary, means also “with me”, so if you replace…
If you ever tried to renovate a house – even in smaller or bigger sense- you know very well that the process is like riding a rollercoaster.

As everyone I have some devotions when it comes to food. If you are frequent reader of Taste of Memories you could already realise that with any kind of yeasted dough and honey zserbó slice I could save the world. Almost. Now I would like to share my third favourite with you for which I…
As we are getting closer to Easter I was wondering what kind of recipe I should prepare for you, dear Readers. If you take a look at the archives you can find the recipe of stuffed eggs or the challah which goes very well with braised ham, that we usually have at Easter. However this…
