Product Description
For novices and gourmets alike, this unique cookbook offers a tantalizing variety of dishes from the shores of the Danube River. Its recipes bring Old World flavor directly into today's kitchen with such cherished favorites as "Weiner Schnitzel," "House Knedliky" (Bread Dumplings), "Hungarian Goulash," "Shrimp Sophya," and "Mititei" (Romanian Sausage). Along with a special chapter, "Christmas Along the Danube," which covers each country's holiday specialties, this cookbook also includes black and white photographs of menus, shots of regional interest, and maps and illustrations throughout. A new appendix provides information on classic Danubian wines--the perfect complement to any dish from central and southeastern Europe. Complete with b/w photos.

 Not very useful February 22, 2007
T. Todorovac (USA)
12 out of 13 found this review helpful
This book fell apart as soon as I opened it. The glue wasn't strong enough to keep the pages together, and they fell right out of the book. And that was just a foretaste of the fact that the recipes were not going to be very useful at all. The problem is that it is very poorly organized...there is a heavy concentration on the countries involved instead of the dishes I was interested in trying. The author couldn't decide whether it was a cookbook or a historic and geographic tour guide. She needed to make up her mind, but didn't.
 COMFORT FOODS August 28, 2006

An excellent book that takes you along the Danube, stopping to
eat at every country and sample a little of their cuisine. The recipes are a great collection of comfort food that all are
sure to enjoy.
disappointing cover, good recipes July 21, 2009

1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I believe the book contains many authentic recipes from the region. The section on Hungary has many of the recipes I grew up hearing about from my father and aunts and uncles. The recipes are not exactly as I remember, but then I doubt my grandmother had any of them written down. I was quite disappointed that I cannot find a recipe for stuffed peppers, especially since stuffed peppers are featured on the cover of the book.
3.5 Stars with Recipe Gems June 27, 2010
Marabar (Cincinnati, OH)
The 3.5 Stars are because some of the recipes don't seem to have the right quantities/proportions - like it was lost in translation or maybe never tested. But there are some gems in the book - the sausage rolls are excellent and some of the noodle dishes remind me of things my grandmother cooked. I haven't tried it yet but there is a recipe for a cake made with farina that sounds very interesting. For gardeners who grow curbubits there are great recipes for them when you have too many and don't know what to do with them. As a odd note: On the cover of the book there are stuffed peppers - if you're expecting to find that recipe inside the book it's not there!
