In October 2018, my Kickstarter campaign was funded and I felt grateful. The moment the campaign ended, I was already in Prague, and about to head to Budapest for my first toe dip into the country and into this project. I met some interesting food people, took a tour with Taste Hungary https://tastehungary.com/ which began at 9 am with a shot of Unicum, the coveted recipe bitters digestive, and Lángos (fried bread) with sour cream and radish. Standing in the bustling central food hall with my 74 year old uncle and 5 strangers around a skinny worn wooden table, we toasted the start of our walking culinary tour, which did not disappoint. I may have been the most exuberant guest on the tour, making loud oohs and ahhs over the cured meats selection and the kids eating sauerkraut in a paper cone like it was ice cream. Warmth and comfort washed over me that I had maybe made a good decision to set out on this cookbook pitch journey, that up to this point was giving me anxiety and fear. Hungary had begun to open it’s door a sliver to my wandering stomach’s desires.
