Hungarian Palacsinta

Palatschinke (plural Palatschinken) is the Austrian and Bavarian German name of the thin, crêpe-like variety of pancake common in Central Europe.

A delicious hungarian recipe with crepes involves layering crepes into a torte with raspberry jam and ground almonds in between each layer, and then drizzling melted chocolate over the top. Yum. Its a bit of a time consuming recipe, because it involves making a large stack of similar sized crepes.


I made the stacked dessert today and it is wonderful. I saw the recipe on Cooking at Home with Jacques Pepin and Julia Child and had to make it. The combination of nuts and jam inside crepes makes this a elegant and tasty desert that will definitely impress.

Good Food

Here begins a journey of the tastebuds. A journey that has been a long time in the making. I am very passionate about the art and craft, and of course the taste of FOOD. It can enliven the senses, inspire romance, bring people together, and keep us healthy and happy. If you are a foodie like me, then you love watching the food network, hunting for recipes online, and baking away in your kitchen. I have been very lucky to have a family in which good food was central. My mom cooked great dinners every night, she made breakfeast, lunch and dinner. From her and from the recipes that have been passed down through my family I have learned how to cook great food. I want to share my favorite recipes with you! Enjoy.
