Be sure to check out our vintage recipe archive online at: http://bit.ly/1vDXn6h. Over 1200 wonderful vintage recipes are listed. Email recipes@tias.com if you would like to submit a recipe.

Darlene F. requested authentic Hungarian recipes. Here is a response from one of our readers:

I married into a 100% Hungarian family. My first gift from my fiance'-to-be was a Hungarian cookbook! It became very clear before our wedding six months later that cooking Hungarian-style would be a must.

After several years' collecting and trying recipes, including ones sent in the Hungarian language from my in-laws in Hungary, I found the seminal work for Americans, ' The Cuisine of Hungary' by the world-renowned George Lang, still the 'gold standard' in any edition. Not only is this work a cookbook; it also is a history of the cuisine of the Hungarian people and culture.

Re: the request for 'Hungarian Goulash' as Americans know it, my advice would be to look for beef stews (called 'porkolt' in Hungarian).. My slow-cooker recipe includes a sweated-in-beef-scraps onion-carrot-celery base (about 1cup, /1/2 cup,/1/2 cup per pound of browned boneless stewing beef cubes) , 2 TBSP of the best Szaged sweet paprika you can find, and 2TBSP of tomato paste. The last two ingedients listed each should be cooked over medium heat for a minute or two in the vegetable/fat/beef mixtureto develop the flavor. Add beef stock to cover or at least 2 cups, whichever is greater. Add salt, herb (e.g. marjoram, OR thyme) and black pepper to taste. Follow slow cooker instructions for beef stew. Serve over parslied wide egg noodles or egg dumplings. In the area of Northern Hungary, around Budapest, the addition of about 1/3 cup sour cream to the stew just before serving is customary.

Re: stuffed cabbage rolls, see Lang's work or many works on Jewish cuisine. Also, my husband Imre did publish his lengthy recipe for Hungarian stuffed cabbage rolls in a Church of the Epiphany, Royersford, PA cookbook many years ago. It was well received at the time.

Cheers!

Linda had several requests, and here are the responses:

Melt in your Mouth Chicken Pot Pie

3 lb chicken, cooked, deboned and cut into bite size pieces
2 hard boiled eggs
1 10 3/4 oz. can condensed cream of chicken soup
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup self rising flour
1 cup buttermilk
1 stick unsalted butter
salt and pepper to taste
3/4 cup frozen or fresh green peas (canned is too mushy)
2/3 cup finely chopped carrots
3/4 cup finely chopped celery

Preheat oven to 375 degrees
Place prepared chicken in bottom of 9x13 casserole dish that has been sprayed with Pam
Cover chicken with sliced eggs, peas, carrots and celery
Sprinkle with salt and pepper
Bring broth and soup to boil and pour over chicken
In a bowl, combine flour, buttermilk and melted butter and mix. Will be lumpy.
Pour mixture over chicken, eggs and veggies. Do not mix in, just let it sit on top.
Looks like too much liquid, but is OK. The flour mixture will soak up some of the liquid and the rest will be good to dip out with chicken when serving.
Bake in preheated oven about 45 minutes or until is brown on top and bubbly.

I think the buttermilk and self rising flour is the key to the topping.

I enjoy reading your news letters especially the recipes.

Stuffed cabbage rolls.

1 head of green cabbage
1 lb ground beef
1 heaping cup leftover mashed potatoes
1 small onion, grated
1 egg
salt and pepper, to taste

For the sauce:
2 15 oz cans tomato sauce
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled and grated
1 large tomato, finely chopped
1/3 cup sugar
Juice of 1 lemon
salt and pepper, to taste

Place the cabbage in the freezer overnight (about 12 hours). Remove and place in a colander in
the sink to defrost. This makes the cabbage pliable for rolling and stuffing.

Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage and discard. Peel the remaining large leaves, taking care
not to tear the cabbage as you go. Set the whole leaves aside and chop up the remaining cabbage
for later.

In a bowl, combine the ground beef, potatoes, onion, egg, salt and pepper. Set aside.

Set up a stuffing station with your whole cabbage leaves and ground beef mixture. With a paring
knife, trim the thick part of the stem off the base of the leaves, taking care not to cut through
the rest of the leaf. Place the leaves upright so that they are curling upward like a bowl.

Place a small handful of filling towards the base of each leaf and fold over the leaf from the
left side. Roll the cabbage leaf up and using your finger, stuff the loose end of the leaf
inward, pushing it into the center. Rolling the cabbage this way ensures that they hold together
nicely during cooking.

Continue with remaining leaves. If you have any leftover filling, simply roll them into
meatballs to place in the pot alongside the cabbage rolls.

Place the stuffed cabbage rolls in a large pot and cover with sauce ingredients. If you had
any leftover cabbage or meatballs, add them to the pot as well.

Bring the sauce to a gentle boil over medium heat and reduce to a simmer. Cover the pot,
leaving it slightly open so that the steam does not force the cabbage rolls to open. Cook for
approximately 2 - 2 1/2 hours, until cabbage is tender and sauce has thickened.

Janice B sent in this request:

I'm looking for a deviled egg recipe that isn't, well, deviled. I had some at a party where the "stuffing" was a little on the sweeter side, and I couldn't quite figure out what made it sweet. They were smooth so there wasn't any sweet pickle relish in them. Any ideas?"
