I just took a look at your blog and it looks very interesting and very well done. Several years ago we went to Budapest for Christmas and had a delightful time eating our way thru the open air market there. I have book marked your site and will be glad to try some of your recipes when I can get all of the ingredients...any suggestions as to what you could substitute for the Hungarian sausage?
One thing we did come away from there with was a love for the Paprika Cream that they put on their bread....I do order it here. Good luck with your blog.

I like your blog and your recipes. A few weeks ago I made lentil soup (the Barefoot Contessa's recipe) for the first time and we enjoyed it (but I used turkey kielbasa, Hillshire brand, and it is quite tasty :) So I certainly want to try your lentil soup (it *looks* more attractive than mine). Years ago I made noodles with sauted cabbage (that I sprinkled sugar on) and loved it. I'll be checking on your blog for new recipes to try and I wish you the best as you move to San Francisco (lucky you!!). Ann

Enjoyed the blog very much and have saved to my favorites for future viewing.

thank you very much. your comments give us motivation to continue.
as a substitute for Hungarian sausage you should try spicy (not hot, but peppery) hot-dogs. when i was in CA during the summer i found turkey hot-dogs. It is not the same as the real Hungarian stuff but it works ok. Also the Hungarian sausages I mention are basically dried paprika sausages. Try some Italian delis they might have something similar. When we move to us I will try to find substitutes for CE ingredients and I will write about it (i am a crazy man, i love to shop for food... and also wash dishes ;) ).
