Vámház körúti Vásárcsarnok

My favourite place to shop in Budapest is Vámház körúti Vásárcsarnok, although i love all the markets (piac) in Hungary. The prices are great, probably not as cheap as the major chains, but the produce is a hell of lot fresher than Tesco. U.S. does not have these kinds of markets in every neighbourhood, which […]

After Aggteleki Nemzeti Park

Yesterday i mentioned that a visit to Aggteleki Nemzeti Park could be a two-day trip and that there is a village just below the caves, so today i will show you the other places to see on your journey. After you exit the cave you will more than likely be hungry. Of course, you could […]

töltött káposzta

Today i prepared töltött káposzta (stuffed cabbage, but i did it Beáta Stanicsné Bödő-style and i layered it). It is one of my favourite Hungarian dishes. Please do not tell me that i prepared it the wrong way because there are as many ways to prepare it as there are families in Hungary. Some families make […]

Jelly Cafe

Arriving safely to Denver Airport was a happy moment, but my friend Nick took me to a place i have wanted to visit for a long time in Denver, Jelly Cafe. They have the best holes there. Their holes are filled with wonderful flavours, flavours that explode in your mouth. i had two favorites, […]

Baton Rouge

Yesterday, my sister took me to the state capital buildings, yes with an “s” because Baton Rouge has a new one and an old one. The new one was built in the 1930’s by Huey P. Long the governor at the time and it would be the building in which he was shot in […]

So Hard For The Money

i went to the world famous French Quarter. It happened that i was fortunate to be there during the last day of the French Quarter Festival. There was live music on the streets and many people out enjoying the sunshine. It was a bit more expensive than usual for parking, so that was unfortunate. The […]

Avery Island the Home of Tabasco

Today i went to Avery Island. It is where the most famous hot sauce, Tabasco, is made. It was really fascinating hearing about the process of making the sauce. It is stored three years in wooden barrels and then stirred for 20 something days. Even more exciting to hear, Tabasco Company is into saving the […]

Scenes Of The French Quarter Part 1

My sister and i went to the French Quarter in New Orleans. It is a great place to visit, especially if you are into great food, jazzy music, photography, unique sights, old style buildings and weird people, then New Orleans would be your place. Cafe du Monde is the first place i visit when i […]

First Week Of Auguste Escoffier School Of Culinary

First week of Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary is behind me. In the past week we studied ServSafe, which is the organisation that provides the cooking industry a method to keep the public safe for getting sick when they eat out. One of the main points that ServSafe teaches, which i think of as a […]

The Donut Library

Doughnuts. Doughnuts in Hungary are good for many things. You can use them as a door stopper, weights to build up your muscles, tires for a child’s wagon and as a weapon against an enemy, but they are not good for eating. Until now. The Donut Library is a great place to get an American-style […]
