To celebrate her husband's Central-European (Mittel Europe)
heritage, Kati Urszenyi has compiled some of her family's favorite
sweet recipes into one sweet book. It is called Sweet Decadence:
Memories of an era when sweets were sweet and is a collection of
rich sophisticated desserts handed down to Kati through her
husband's family. These recipes have been written down in Gabor's
family for four generations. Presented with a double focus, on a
vanished past and what we can do with it now, this is much more
than a collection of recipes from was then and what now Authentic,
delicious and doable. Translated across time and space, this
collection of a family's recipes helps us understand why the
Austro-Hungarian Empire found its culinary apotheosis in desserts -
pastries, cakes, squares, slices, and cookies - of incomparable
excellence. Made with readily available and all-natural
ingredients, these recipes can now be prepared with our modern
equipment, with less effort but no loss of texture and flavor. The
author brings us a deeply felt, living, dense memory of how life
was lived in the Old Country then, back a few generations, and also
gives us some glimpses of how these have survived in her kitchen in
Canada and her family's festivities, by way of these recipes and
all they represent of a shared social history. And they're just
plain exciting and simple, direct, and make any occasion: a
holiday, special event or an everyday meal, a big party or an
intimate afternoon tea, kids' after-school snacks or your own
private pick-me-up.
