infinity in a grain of paprika
http://www.everythingbudapest.com/Internet_Guide_to_Budapest/Johns_All-Purpose_Hungarian_Recipe.html
Infinity in a grain of paprika. Phase I: Fry the Onions. Variant 1: Root vegetables. Before adding peppers, consider adding a couple of handfuls of finely chopped carrots and perhaps 1/3 or 1/2 that amount of chopped parsnips. These should cook down to almost nothing before it's all done, so get them well softened while sautéing. The effect is to sweeten the gulas somewhat, and make it richer. Phase II: Brown the meat. The next step if to sear the meat so that it stays moist as it stews. Doesn't matt...

the endless cafe
http://everythingbudapest.eu/Budapest_-_Restaurants
All the shops and restaurants are gone from New York and, to my astonishment, even more thoroughly gone from Budapest. Here in New York they simply dwindled away, but in Hungary the Nazis and the Russians managed to plow saltsticks into the ground, rendering once-great bastions of a narrow but towering cuisine into furrows of their former selves. So, this section of the website now seems the most important one to me, because it is the hub around which the others revolve. This is the focus, the home b...

Channeling my mother's kitchen
http://everythingbudapest.eu/Budapest_-_Restaurants/Hungarian_Food.html
Channeling my mother's kitchen. To begin at the beginning. Hungarian food is not (in the words of my favorite Hoosier federal district court judge) what it used to was. As I bemoan elsewhere, echoing and ricocheting around this website, no one cooks like my mother did, no restaurant reminds me even remotely of the neighborhood Yorkville Hungarian restaurants of my NYC childhood and youth. The palate’s pretty pallid. Hungarian food, if you’re looking for a taste of pre-1940 Hungary? The traditional tomato...

shopping in Budapest
http://everythingbudapest.eu/Budapest_Shops
Budapest is a city of markethalls, shops, and markets. Part of this is the idiosyncratic history of Hungary’s post-1956 accommodation of small capitalist enterprises, which permitted small shops to exist outside the regulated economy. Part of it is Hungary’s post-1990 economy, in which commercial real estate has been inexpensive, while inventory has often been prohibitively costly. There are other, less touristy-y market halls scattered throughout the city. Lehel ter. Buying Books in Budapest.
