| Meet our Talented Hungarian Chef Ilona Szabo (Helen Czegeny) My mother Helen Szabo-Czegeny, has always been my cooking idol. She made any meal unusually delicious. Her mother's family came from the small town of Nyíregyháza, in Northern Hungary, where Slovak cooking traditions have blended into everyday meals of Hungarian families. Ilona Szabo's Hungarian Cooking is an outward demonstration of her passion for delicious foods and her love for entertaining with her gift of hospitality truly shining in her everyday life. I remember while growing up, we had more dinner guests than travellers through New York's Grand Central Station (or so at least we thought). We wondered: didn't anyone eat at home anymore? They just couldn't get enough of her warm personality, generousity and amazing cooking when it came to sitting down and "breaking bread". Ilona Szabo's combination and choice of ingredients for her Hungarian Recipes are always in perfect balance and harmony. Never too much or too little, but always the right amount of carefully chosen spices and condiments. At the tender age of six, Ilona Szabo already demonstrated her fondness of cooking. She prepared paprika chicken with dumplings for her mother, father and two siblings. By thirteen, she started fulfilling her passion in a formal way and spent time at her great aunt's chef's professional cooking school where many young girls were brought to tears learning this stern woman's ways of the Old Style Hungarian cooking. Chef Aunt Borbala married a high court judge and enjoyed all the pleasures of an upper middle Hungarian family. She was accustomed to eating meals prepared by some of the most celebrated, talented imported French Chefs. This celebrated and illustrious training is evident in Helen's Hungarian Heritage Recipes TM cookbook. |
