When I was in Budapest for three years, I bought copies for my parents and a cousin. They cost 300-some forints at the time, an early-90s edition, hard-bound.
$70 is a bit steep for me, now that I want my own bloody copy. Any leads, folks?

better than amazon or borders
they don't have ur book in stock now, but they will notify you when they do get it, new or used, so u might get it for a lot cheaper than $70.

I just met up with a BP friend this past month; hadn't seen her in 9 years, although we'd spoken at least once a year. I'm brushing up my magyarul (although I haven't gotten to the point of figuring out the stupid keystroke combinations, yet).

I searched a few different sites scanning for the book; I just find that Amazon is the best all-around search & reference tool (& keeps my "wish-list" in once place). I usually buy elsewhere, though! -

i went to zsirorszag via the Teach hungary program from Beloit College in southern Wisco. It's now called something like the Central Euro Teaching Prog. i think they are still running.
hungary was the opportunity at the time, i could have just as easily gone to zimbabwae, portugal, or venezuela. but i'm glad i did go to hungary at that time, early 90's, a very unique time and unique place in post-soviet eastern euro.

Re: The Gourmet's Cookbook, Elek Magyar
Sat, December 31, 2005 - 1:14 PMI consider myself somewhat of a conneisseur on Hungarian cookbooks. If you cannot find the "Gourmet's" try the GUNDEL's Hungarian cookbook - newly re-published around $12 on Amazon. I bought around 5 for X'mas presents. But my bible is George Lang's "Cuisine of Hungary" that can be found between 12-26$. By the way Lang bought Gundel's in Budapest in 1990. For non-Hungarians - GUNDEL's restaurantis the BEST Hungarian restaurant since 1910.
