Lángos is a Hungarian fried bread, with a tender texture of a doughnut inside. These are best served hot and fresh, rubbed with garlic. Other ways to serve them is with sour cream and grated cheese. They're quite simple to make, and would impress your lunch or dinner guests along with a hearty Gulyas soup or stew. This was my first time making this bread, and the flavor and tender texture was
How to Make Hungarian Goulash Soup (Gulyas Soup)
There are many, many versions of Hungarian Gulyas Soup, which is traditionally made in a kettle. This recipe is a version that I created, to capture the flavor of that soup that I experienced (many years ago) in Hungary-- and recently while in Northern Italy. While I don't cook over a kettle, I used a Dutch oven, and make this hearty soup with red and green bell peppers, potatoes, garlic, and a
How to Make A Brown Butter Apple Tart
Here's a lovely fall Apple Brown Butter Tart that you will love. The pastry is tender and flaky. I've made a brown butter an vanilla bean filling, with layers of apples that are sauteed in butter, a little sugar and brandy!

Yukon Gold Potatoes Au Gratin
Yukon Gold Potatoes Au Gratin is a cheesy, dreamy casserole side dish. The Gruyere cheese and heavy cream makes this one of my favorite side dishes. To tone down the calories, a bit, I use less heavy cream and some chicken stock. While this doesn't make the dish fat-free, it isn't flavor-free. This is the perfect side dish for entertaining, because it's so good! If you read my previous recipe
How to Make Duck Breasts with a Citrus Port Cherry Sauce
Making perfect duck breast is nothing to be afraid of. This was my first attempt, and it turned out perfectly. The duck had crispy skin, was moist, and cooked to "pink"-- just the way I like it. Of course, you are welcome to cook the duck to medium-well, if that is how you prefer it. The Cherry Sauce isn't complicated to make, and complements the duck perfectly. Whenever I go to a "nice"

The streusel bakes to a beautiful crumb, with the right balance of cinnamon and a kiss of nutmeg. Lightly dusted with powdered sugar, it's the kind of cake you savor with a cup of hot coffee or tea-- and will impress your friends. Just don't tell them how easy it
Pork and Mushroom Stew with Potato and Apple Mash
This delicious Pork and Mushroom stew can be ready in about 40 minutes. Because the pork tenderloin is so tender, it doesn't need a low and slow braise. The sauce is packed with flavor from leeks, carrots, thyme, sherry (or white wine) and some apple cider. A splash of heavy cream gives a silky texture to the sauce, and it's even better with mashed potatoes that has roasted garlic and chunks of
Cornish Game Hen with Pomegranate Molasses – Fancy Schmancy!
This recipe for a Cornish Game hen looks like a fancy restaurant recipe. However, you can easily make this at home-- and it's a winner! The pomegranate molasses gives a tangy and flavorful finish to the skin (you can easily make your own). For New Year's Eve, Craig and I prefer to stay at home. I try to make something a bit on the fancy side, where we can safely drink a bottle
Easy and Perfect Cranberry-Almond Biscotti
This Cranberry-Almond Biscotti has a subtle balance of citrus, a little bit of chew from dried cranberries and the crunch of almonds.
