Very much enjoyed the class and the history aspect of it. Weird, but I am ready Judith Jones (famous Julia Child editor) book and she mentioned the Hungarian dish as well. The book is several years old now, but it shows the significance of food again and again.
This class was engaging and informative. Not only did we learn about the cooking of the specific dish; we also learned some history of the area and people, origin of the food, variants of spices imported to Hungary, and watching a very clear demonstration of how to prepare this easy dish. Nada was kind, patient, and was in contact with listeners for feedback. It was very interesting and fun!

I enjoyed the experience. I’ve taken several of the cooking classes and this one was the best ‘paced” of the offerings. Learned a lot of history as well as how to cook the dish. Since the recipe for the noodles was included in the pre-class information I wish we would have been able to make it too. The presenter didn’t have a headset/microphone and understanding her was very difficult. I’m not sure listening to the recording will resolve the issue.
