She worked in publishing and journalism until she met a transplanted European journalist named Charles Derecskey, by origin a Hungarian from Transylvania, and embarked on the globe-trotting uncertainties of life with a foreign correspondent. Already an accomplished cook in the French mode, she began to cook Hungarian, first as a treat for her husband, then as a parlor trick, finally as an obsession.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the Derecskeys returned to the United States, Susan already had an extensive collection of notes and recipes she had accumulated and tested wherever they were: the Congo, Paris, Germany andas culmination -- Hungary. Here, in the fine restaurants of Budapest and the more modest establishments and homes of Transylvania, she learned how the classic dishes should be made and developed that instinct for the cuisine that separates the gifted cook from the merely skillful one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHer husband and two young sons cheered her on through the writing of \u003cem\u003eThe Hungarian Cookbook. \u003c\/em\u003eThey still gather every summer in the big kitchen at Ledgewood in the Adirondack Mountains, where many of the recipes in the book were put to the test. This annual ceremony of renewal is bound to feature such enshrined favorites as kohlrabi soup and chicken paprikash and one or more of those fabulous Hungarian desserts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Derecskey, Susan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e William Morrow \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePub Date:\u003c\/b\u003e 1987-10-14\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC:\u003c\/b\u003e Cooking|Regional \u0026amp; Cultural|Hungarian|Cooking|Comfort Food|Cooking|Entertaining|General|Cooking|Regional \u0026amp; Cultural|Italian|Cooking|Holiday|General|Cooking|Regional \u0026amp; Cultural|Soul Food|Cooking|Courses \u0026amp; Dishes|Appetizers|Cooking|Courses \u0026amp; Dishes|Bread|Cooking|Seasonal|Cooking|Courses \u0026amp; Dishes|Soups \u0026amp; Stews|Cooking|Methods|Special Appliances|Cooking|Specific Ingredients|Meat|Cooking|History\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSubjects:\u003c\/b\u003e Cookery, Hungarian\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.89 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780060914370\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eASIN:\u003c\/b\u003e -\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSKU:\u003c\/b\u003e SP-9780060914370\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"William Morrow \u0026 Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52138777149721,"sku":"SP-9780060914370","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0913\/0380\/5209\/files\/8fa39346-7f2b-4523-8d96-d197000fd9cc.jpg?v=1784465671","url":"https:\/\/westbindery.com\/products\/the-hungarian-cookbook","provider":"West Bindery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
