Two types of meat that are a favourite of mine but very difficult to get your hands on in Rural Hungary, so you can be sure that the recipes in here are subject to great scrutiny as waste would be unthinkable ;)
Cottage pie is one of the most enduring memories from my childhood, bot just from home but at my grandparents house, school dinners, friend houses… No matter where I went you could guarantee that cottage pie was never too far from the ‘menu’.
I suppose you could call my lasagne recipe a bit of a cheat as it uses some of my batch cooked bolognese sauce however it aint that much of a cheat as it is still made from scratch and all the vegetables were indeed sourced from my garden.
This Bolognese Sauce represents my first foray into batch cooking on my site, I tend to cook quick, fast and fresh in summer but in winter I indulge another food love, slow cooking.
I love Scotch Egg so imagine my joy when I stumbled across something called a nargisi kebab that was described as an Inidan Scotch egg in an Indian Restaurant in the UK about 10 years ago…
A ‘traditional’ Hungarian goulash or Gulyásleves is not the thick stew most people believe but it is rather a glorious and simple soup!
