Project Term Blogger: Meghan C Today I was exposed to the best part of the Hungarian culture. Cooking!!! I have always been an adventurous foodie, but after today I seriously want to pursue cooking school one day. Our day began at Central Market. That’s when we met our wonderful tour guide and chef, Gerda. She introduced us to famous Hungarian food such as paprika, làngos, and goulash. Gerda also mentioned that Hungarian’s find a way to eat every. part. of. animals. But most importantly, Gerda was able to buy us fresh produce for the cooking school. The cooking school was gorgeous. Once we arrived, our crew divided into small groups and went straight to work. There were six courses to prepare on the agenda, so the pressure was on! Belle and I partnered up and made a great team. She chopped the meat, while I chopped the vegetables. As the soup was cooking on the stove, we busied ourselves with dessert. Personally, I made sure to be in the chocolate cake group instead of apple pie. After all of our love and hard work, our six course meal was ready to eat. I was really impressed we managed to pull off such delicious flavors. I think it’s safe to say we all had the time of our lives. I really enjoyed watching the process of buying the fresh food, preparing it in the kitchen, and seeing it on my plate.

I can almost smell the paprika simmering with the onion and garlic! Can't wait to try making some vegan goulash with the sweet and smokey Hungarian Paprika that I'm hoping Mia brings home!

25 degrees at home and the sound of your cooking warms my heart and my belly . Careful cooking is an artform and sounds like the Sacred Heart chefs have mastered it. Mary Cassatt And van Gogh would be proud . You go, kisl'any!

Fabulous! Can't wait to hear all about it -- don't forget how to cook when you get home. WAY TOO QUIET here. The lounge is like a ghost town. Hurry home!
