As I was looking at the list of the treasures of Hungary that made it to the Hungaricum Collection, I wasn’t surprised to see the Zsolnay porcelain and ceramics on it.

On the 26^th of November 2020, the legendary singer, musician, and songwriter Balázs Fecó (Balázs Ferenc) passed away due to the coronavirus. 

He will be missed by his many fans.

Pécsi mézes kalács / Honey cookie from Pécs

This recipe is from Polgár Zsuzsa, folk artist from the city of Pécs, Hungary, and we are using it here by her permission.   

Mézes kalács has a long tradition in Hungary.  It was known in Hungary even before the time of King Mátyás (15^th century), and over the centuries it slowly  spread throughout  the country.  In 1824, “mézes kalács”  bakers received permission to start a guild.  Zsuzsa presents a video that I recommend  to everyone, even if you don’t understand Hungarian; it is fun.  Click on the word "More" at the end to watch the video.
