Nagymama

« My grandmother’s name is Margit but we all just call her « Nagymama ». She has lived in Szolnok in Hungary all her life but was not afraid to visit us far away when I was just a baby although she had to endure countless hours of travelling. Attentive and kind, she raised three daughters with her husband and then took care of her grandchildren just as well. Curious and always a sweet tooth, Nagymama will often be found in the kitchen, stirring gulyásleves, pörkölt, or any other Hungarian dish that screams comfort food when you get a noseful of those delicious smells of spices mixing together and bubbling. She will always urge you to eat more and will be the last person to sit down to eat. I am lucky to have her and your project further convinced me to keep storing away all her wonderful recipes. » – Claire
