Learning to cook Hungarian style


Even though I have never spent less time in my adult life in the kitchen than while living here, I decided that maybe I should learn to cook some traditional Hungarian food. Thanks to Alex there was a big group of us to enjoy the process

our menu:

Team Red: Hungarian Goulash
Team Yellow: Chicken Paprikas, Nokedli, and Cucumber Salad
Team Orange (clearly the best team): Somloi

Evidence that Susan really does know how to cook despite her proclamation that she can't:
The crowning glory of team orange:


I think this might have been the point when Chad burned the onions and his team demoted him from pot stirrer.



All the food was really good. The somloi was actually the best version I have had thus far while here. I can't wait to try this on my own but it might wait until I have a sharp knife, garbage disposal and a meat selection I am not afraid to purchase.

  1. We should have a Hungarian night when you get back so you can share your knowledge with us! That dessert looks yummy.
