FOREWORD.
This book would not have come into existence had it
not been inspired by the interest of our foreign visitors,
which caused us to realize the need of dealing more widely
with this subject matter.
The Hungarian kitchen, the Hungarian folklore
plays a very important role in the conquest that foreign
tourist traffic has achieved in Hungary, especially during
the past jew years,
That natural reserve with which all our foreign visitors
regard our ,,strange" flavours, soon thaws into a definite
liking for our dishes, and now they- even desire the savour
which is lacking in the western-style kitchen. These fla-
vours and savours we serve in rich varieties.
With this little book we wish to serve one purpose: to
bring Hungay nearer to your hearts in giving you a glimpse
into Hungarian life and in making you acquainted with our
country. If this can be accomplished we are certain that
you will become our friends. And we Hungarians have a
great need of your friendship so in order to achieve our
goal we resort to the old Hungarian proverb: the way to the

heart is through the stomach! too have chosen this way,
and in this manner our book intends to reach your hearts.
Now we turn to our readers with one hawe

confidence in us, rather our recipes. realize that foreig-
ners are a little afraid of, the\ highly seasoned Hungarian
dishes which they are not accustomed to, but this very fact
has led us to compile the cookery book with utmost care in
the selection of the recipes, so .that we can recommend
them to you with a clear conscience, not only from the stand-
point of deliciousness but also from that of ditetics.
Please accept this little book with as much love as we
welcome you to our poor, mutilated land Hungary.
We wish you a good appetite and most pleasant enter-
tainment.
