Great recipes! Just a little tip. My husband (the 100% Hungarian of the two of us), uses an old tablecloth with a pattern on it for making retes. He knows just when the dough is thin enough by how much of the pattern shows through. Works really well. Problem: He usually eats most of the retes! |

Someone sent your link to your homepage for Hungarian foods and recipes. Thinking seriously on purchasing your cookbook. I miss my grandmothers cooking and baking. She passed away at 99 years old last year. She always kept the recipes in her head never on paper. Loved her poppyseed roll and walnut roll pastries and chicken soup with homade pasta was wonderful. My father was full hungarian and so were his parents. Glad to see this sight. |

Your site was very interesting, and I thought you had plenty of free recipes. I copied several. It was very informative. If anyone knows a recipe for a dish called chicken papakash (forgive the spelling as I am a novice at this) please email me. I wil be happy to give some Tex/Mex or Texas recipes in exchange. I live in S. Texas and have plenty of those. |

I will be ordering a copy of your book later on in the new year. It was so nice to see some familiar names to some old family favorites listed that my mother and grandmother used to make. I have managed to carry on the tradition with a few favorites but look forward to adding more. |

Hi June, So glad to come across your cookbook. My husband is from Hungarian decent. His father and brother left Hungary during the revolution. I have tried for the past five years to figure out how to make some of my husband's favorite hungarian dishes,however, like you stated in your front page, when watching Mom Laszlo cook she added a pinch of this a dash of this which made if very difficult for me to translate into my own cooking terms. I look forward to adding your recipes to my collection and giving your ook to some of my sister-in-laws--who I know will relish it as much I will. Thank you for taking the time to preserve Hungarian heritage. Pammella Laszlo |

Mouthwatering recipe titles! |
| North Shore Magazine 08/29/98 03:21:01 |
North Shore Magazine September 1998 By Elizabeth Canning A Dash of the Past Deerfield resident June Meyer grew up cooking traditional Hungarian dishes with her parents, who emigrated from Eastern Europe in the early 1900s. Little did she know that the recipes and family stories passed down to her in the kitchen would become a sec nd career. The 64-year-old retired art teacher recently published "June Meyer's Authentic Hungarian Heirloom Recipes, containing 95 of her family's favorite dishes. More than just a cookbook, it is a collection of family lore, descriptions of life in what was once t e Austro-Hungarian Empire and a memoir of growing up as the daughter of immigrants in Chicago. When Meyer retired in 1994, her son gave her his old computer and she found herself taking part in a cooking news-group, where people exchanged recipes via e-mail. "One day, someone asked for the recipe for authentic Hungarian goulash," she says. "I put m recipe up, and soon I had about 20 messages asking if I had the recipes for Hungarian strudel, paprikas. There were no Web sites with those recipes." Meyer's son helped her create that Web site, which has since logged about 30,000 visitors. She receives electronic messages from as far away as Turkey and Japan. "Just this morning," she says, "I was talking to someone from Romania." Meyer says her recipes fill a void, since most immigrant families did not keep records of how to prepare favorite dishes. For each recipe in her book, Meyer recounts a favorite childhood memory. For her apple strudel, she describes how her grandmother and other women in the family pulled the dough out so thin on the dining room table that you could read a newspaper through it. For her split pea soup, she remembers her dread of retrieving parsnip root from the cold, dark cellar. |

Can't wait to receive your cookbook and try other recipes that I am sure my father's family traditionally made. Thank you for helping to keep my family connection alive by offering authentic dishes from the area my family came from. Thank you so very much. |

I was thrilled with your website offering genuine hungarian recipes. My mother passed away a number of years ago, and regretfully I never asked her for many of her recipes. She remembered them by heart and I thought they were lost forever. I will order yo r recipe book in the near future and thank you for making them available to people so far away. Thanks again. A.B.

Hello June, I enjoyed looking over your cook book. It brought back memories of my childhood. My Saxon mother used to make palacsinta and gypsy bacon. I thought these were Saxon dishes, but now I realize her country was occupied by various nations making for great ariety in everything including cooking. Bob A. |

Dear June...I am of hungarian decent, and finding these recipes was so wonderful. I have been cooking like my father taught me, but to see these real recipes is so exciting.....I can't wait to get started. Christmas this year will be wonderful with all the kipfels and great cakes and cookies. Oh, what a long search this was to find these recipes, and what a joy it is to have finally come across such fulfilling, explantory recipes. My search is over. I just had to write and let you know that this is the reason i bought a computer!!!! It makes it worth the money and time I have spent on it trying to find a little bit about my hungarian ancestors. Great job, June!!! Keep up the good work!!! jamie ann |

For years I've been looking for the spinach dish that my grandma used to make. She came from hungary and at every sunday dinner you could count on this dish. She'd never let me in the kitchen to help though (and personally i must admit that as a kid...i didn't much care) it was only till i got married that i yearned to have some of this type of ole timey cook'in only then it was too late as she along with the rest of my family who would have known the recipe, passed away. It has always been my greatest sorow not to have paid more attention......that is till now. What joy....what flash backs i had when i took my first bite of that wonderful concoction!!!! You are truly my idol! Thank you so much for bringing back a memory that i thought would only be just that....a memory!!!at 54 years of age...if i die tomorrow, i die happy. Linda :) |

Hello June, I'd just like to say thanks for putting together this cookbook. I remember my grandmother's cooking when I was a little girl but unfortunately she passed away before I was a teenager and all of her wonderful books/recipes were distributed amo g family members that either didn't cherish them or don't wish to share. I hope when I receive your book, it'll have the same recipes as my Grandma's. Thanks again. |

Your book sounds great. My mum is Hungarian, and many of your listed recipes remind me of my childhood. I can remember Mum making huge trays of Fank, with plum and apricot jam fillings. Look forward to my copy. Liza. |
