Hugs to you, Leah. I didn’t have my own wits about me enough last week to respond to your beautiful post, but it meant a lot to me.

I have many of my Grandma’s Hungarian recipes, in her Palmer method script, in the dented green metal recipe box my mother took after Grandma died. I’m hoping there are enough recipes to suit my kosher and gluten free kitchen in this book, because it sounds like a wonderful way to have my Grandma by my side again. She came here at two, spoke Hungarian with her 6 siblings, and taught us to swear in Hungarian, but not to speak it. My mother knew enough Hungarian to talk to the wonderful owner of Paprikash Weiss when I lived in Yorkville - I still miss that place.
