HOT HUNGARIAN CHEF

Clara Margaret Czegeny, born in Montreal and grew up in a traditionally Hungarian home with all the classic meals being prepared on a daily basis. Clara has always loved to cook and she does that like everything else with flair, gusto, passion and of course - a huge clatter and dozens of bowls, spoons and linen tea towels.

Of the three sisters, Clara stayed closest to her Hungarian heritage of cooking. Compiling this cookbook; recipes that otherwise would have been lost in their mother's memories, has truly been a labor of love. Clara creatively weaves her own perspective and personal philosophy of life and observations into this book. The humorous anecdotes before her recipes makes them easy to prepare and her book especially enjoyable to read.

Clara incorporates her childhood memories and recollections of how she remembers life in our home. Her teaching background greatly influenced her writing style and her helpful nature flows through with an abundance of hints. Clara is a definitely a twist on the movie - Good Cook, Likes Music_2005 she is a Great Musician, Loves to Cook_2006. We've all managed to inherit the love of cooking and good food and to create in the kitchen from our mom, but to have inherited her amazing natural gift in the kitchen would have been indeed a great
honor. Again...Congratulations to Clara for such a timeless piece, a legacy of Helen's Cooking Treasures!

Canadian Best-Selling Cookbook for 2010 "Helen's Hungarian Heritage Recipes" is a small treasure with a big heart. The loving result of a desire to honour an aging parent.

Gathering the best entries from her mother's memories and scribbled papers to create a cornucopia of treasured Hungarian family recipes that will delight even the most discerning palate. Clara & her mother (Helen) co-authored this beloved, cherished and treasured Hungarian Czegeny family recipe collection in Dec 2005.

Clara's daughter, Evangline Mackell of Design in Bloom joined her mother and grandmother and is the accomplished photographer and graphic artist for the cookbook. Truly, a three generation wonder!
