All of us were interested in cooking and it was a great teambuilding game. Then at home I cooked and baked with my mother a lot. I remember I mixed more cream without blender until smooth. It was tiring but was useful for my endurance.

 

And now about the present: It is fantastic when our kitchen is full of life. Somebody is chopping onions and someone else is preparing the meat or is kneading dough. The pots are bubbling and we are talking and laughing and sipping delicious wine and the smell of the food fills the whole flat. This is how we cook together in our kitchen.

Since we started to organize cooking courses for tourists in Budapest, countless Hungarian and Jewish dishes have been cooked, we have met a lot of people, laughed a lot and we keep in touch up to this day. I got richer with friendships and experiences. Not only could I show Hungarian cuisine and hospitality, but I got to know numerous other cultures as well. I like making a lot effort in this activity.
