WELCOME TO THE HUNGARIAN COUNTRYSIDE

Hello, my name is Judit Neubauer I am a food photographer, chef and writer living in a small village in Northwestern Hungary. My bilingual blog, Taste of Memories is about life in the Hungarian countryside. While my boyfriend and I are bringing new life into the 90 year-old house and orchard of 18 fruit trees I cook and bake old, sometimes forgotten recipes and try to preserve traditions and old knowledge about how to live in rhythm and harmony with nature. Thank you for visiting!
