Freshly Reinvented OLD-SCHOOL BITES

Discover a new and creative twist on traditional Hungarian recipes that you'll instantly add to your rotation

There’s something so special about cooking an old family recipe that makes us feel connected to our loved ones. Even so, we find great joy in taking our beloved recipes and transforming them into something fresh and unique — which is precisely what chef Jeremy Salamon is doing in his new cookbook.

“Second Generation is not my grandmothers’ cookbook, but it is my way of sharing a bit of their magic with you. Hungarian food is extraordinary, unique and full of old wisdom,” says Jeremy. “I want to help bring [it] out of the shadows and into the 21st century.” Taste the goodness tonight!
