Culinary Adventures with Camilla

   Here we are at the final #EattheWorld event for 2020. What a year this has been! This challenge has been one that gave us some excuse for virtual travel as we've been sheltered-in-place with the coronavirus epidemic for most of the year. So, we've been able to read about different parts of the world and create a dinner, or at least a dish, with that cuisine. This Eat the World project is spearheaded by Evelyne of  CulturEatz . Read more about  her challenge . This month, Evelyne had us heading to Hungary. But, before we get to that collection, I just wanted to recap where we've been this year.

Here we are at the October Soup Saturday Swappers event. Wendy of  A Day in the Life on the Farm  started this event and, every month, I get a new array of soup recipes to put in my to-try pile. And when I saw that Wendy was hosting a Spooky Soups and Stews event for October's Saturday Soup Swappers, I put on my thinking cap. Wendy wrote: "The Goblins are gobbling, the witches are whispering and the ghouls are ghosting.....Let's settle them down with a spooky soup or stew to celebrate Halloween." We love Halloween. I especially love Halloween foods. I've shared a  Creepy Eyeball Martini ,  Charcuterie Skull ,  Shrunken Head Cider , and  Gummy Brains   - all pictured in the collage below!  Here's the Spooky Soups and Stews line-up...

In our Cooking Around the World adventure, I'm taking a pass for Hungary, a landlocked nation in central Europe, because I cooked an entire Hungarian feast for Jenn's 37th birthday in 2010. It was delicious! Even though I'm not cooking this week, I'll share the recipes and a few photos. We toasted with Royal Tokaji Aszu wine. Pronounced toh-KAY ah-SOO), the first Tokaji wine was created by accident in the 1600s from a harvest that was delayed by the threat of enemy invasion. And since traditional Hungarian dishes are based primarily on meat, seasonal vegetables, fruits, fresh bread, cheeses, and honey, I created a menu that featured many of these elements. Here's what I made, oh so many years ago... We started with Paradicsomleves , Hungarian tomato soup...click the name for the recipe. Traditionally, the soup is served with Palacsinta , Hungarian crepes filled with strawberry jam; I used black currant. The main dish was Sorma , Hungarian cabbage ...
