This book offers a cultural and culinary glimpse of the final years
of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and its aftermath through the life
of one family. Part historical account, part recipe collection, it
takes food as the vital element that survived war, persecution,
bankruptcy, displacement and exile. To cook these recipes is both
to celebrate that survival and to reflect on another time and
another world, from the piquant delicacy of tomato soup enriched
with rice to the rich sumptuousness of diverse cakes.
Have you ever had a significant moment simply slips by you in life?
Priceless and life altering moments in which you should have done
or said something that would have aligned your purpose and destiny
in any phase of your life? Have you ever had what I call a "missed
the moment" experience, that leaves you wishing you could go back
in time and respond differently? Perhaps you have indeed missed
some significant moments in the past, but it's not too late to
prepare for the future. That can be changed today!
