This definitive guide to the cuisine of Hungary also contains an engrossing history of the Hungarian kitchen, dating back to its mysterious origins among the Mongol tribes, followed by an amusing ten-century survey of gastronomy & related matters in all the regions of Hungary today. Fascinating to read, Mr. Lang's account of the wine harvest & his discussion of that most Hungarian of all condiments, paprika, are alone worth the price of the book. Lavishly illustrated by distinguished Hungarian artists, past & present, this is an entertaining, instructive, definitive book."What cookbooks should be & almost never are." Orig. pub. in '71; this with new intro.
