Hungary

Hungary is the birthplace of one of the most popular toys in history: the Rubik’s Cube. The land-locked country located in central Europe also is largely responsible for the popularization of paprika and the dish we call ‘goulash.’ Ironically, the dish we call ‘goulash’ is not the traditional Hungarian dish called ‘gulyas.’ Gulyas is a hearty beef and vegetable soup that was a long-time staple among Hungarian herdsmen. What we refer to as ‘goulash’ is actually another Hungarian dish called ‘Porkolt’ -- beef and potatoes stewed in beef stock with sour cream and tomato paste and seasoned generously with paprika. It is often served with noodles. It would be a shame to be limited to these dishes, however, when talking about Hungarian cuisine. Csirkepaprikas (Chicken Paprikash), Kolbasz (paprika-seasoned sausage), Pecsenye (pork steak with cabbage), and Palacsinta (stuffed pancakes) all enjoy popularity among Hungarians.

Apple Bavarian Torte

Reviewed on Nov. 2, 2009 by Brooke

I followed the recipe exactly; it was super easy and turned out very well. Thank you so much! Oh, I just want to add that initially I was afraid that I had too many apples (I used 4 gigantic apples) because mine weren't nicely layered like I saw other peoples but just piled on top of the cheese mixture. Nevertheless, by the end of the baking process they cooked down giving off quite a bit of liquid, which also corrected itself after cooling. So...although I had a few doubts while putting the torte together and watching it cook, ultimately it turned out just fine.

Fettuccini with Basil and Brie

Reviewed on Oct. 30, 2009 by Brooke

I'm pleasantly surprised. In all fairness I had to make quite a few changes but I did try sticking to the recipes as much as I could it's really tasty. I used goat cheese instead of Brie, warmed it up on the stove and added the garlic (because I was starving and another reviewer suggested it, thank you!) Ultimately I left out the oil and vinegar because the goat cheese is so nice an creamy that it wasn't needed. So...I'm sorry for rating this when I changed the recipe, but I have to say that it's a nice base recipe that seems to be easily adjustable to whatever you have on hand.

Juicy Roasted Chicken

Reviewed on Oct. 27, 2009 by WENDOPIA

I have no clue why people are altering this nice simple recipe. Took others reviews and decided to make it as written! It was delicious, moist and ultra flavorful! A keeper!
