There are some amazing vegan recipes being posted online in Hungarian... if only it didn't feel like such a different language to most people.. You can pretty much get away with Google Translate on recipes... (some words might not translate into English, but you can try splitting the words into two words to see what happens.. because they are usually two words joined together that confuses Google)
By Dankóné R. Magdi - who cooks and her husband takes the photos - from Vác, Pest County just north of Budapest...
("Everyday dishes") - using everyday ingredients like beans, peppers, tomatoes, potatoes etc... some novel tofu uses... and dotted with some tasty looking cakes :-) like this Lemon Cake ... and I especially find useful the product reviews... as I can now pick out some vegan snacks without having to spends hours translating the ingredients :-) thanks..
Kitti a konyhában - http://www.kittiakonyhaban.blogspot.hu/
By Kitti .. who wants to help novice vegans with some designs from the kitchen... and also partly answer the question - "What do vegans eat?"
("Kitti in the Kitchen") - I was redirected from Magdi's website to the recipe for home-made sour cream .. made from cashew nuts, tofu, oil, lemon juice, water and salt... and once you've made that, you can try some vegan goulash (with sour cream)

By Berta - from Budapest
("Eat yourself" - have I translated that correctly?) - Berta presents simple and quick recipes with 100% plant-based, and based on raw food... I like the recipes for hazelnut milk, and spicy semolina porridge... and I think I am going to have to stop now and make some Chocolate Super Pudding haha... i think I need to spend longer on these recipes.. it's great to explore uses for different vegetable milks... and the green smoothie.. which is made from raspberries, blueberries, romaine lettuce, linseed, veg milk, vanilla and pineapple juice..
VEGÁN BÜNTETLEN ÉLVEZETEK - http://veganelvezetek.blogspot.hu/
By 'Nori Ha' ..
("Vegan Guilty Pleasures" - I like this English title, Google wants "Unpunished pleasures") - I notice some experimentation with tempeh... good, it's really tasty.. so you can get tempeh in Budapest? That's good to hear. Perhaps at Napfenyes? This is one of the first vegan blogs that I found .. and I spent a little time trying to translate the Buckwheat Tofu Bolognaise ... an interesting combination of Bolognaise sauce on buckwheat groats.. (you could also use Japanese soba tésztával (soba noodles) which are made from buckwheat)
Dulmina tündérkonyhája - http://dulmina.blogspot.co.uk/
By Dulmina - from Szeged, Hungary (about 100 miles south of Budapest)
("Dulmina - Kitchen Fairy") This is the first blog I found... and what kept me here were the recipes using Kohlrabi... :-) Dulmina is lacto-vegetarian, but the posts tagged 'vegan' number about 532 when I checked.. and they are labelled 'vegan' where appropriate... I have bookmarked the Stuffed Kohlrabi for translation at some point...
The blogger 'Dulmina'? also has another blog .. Vegán Vendéglő http://vegavendeg.blogspot.co.uk/ - "Vegan Restaurant" - which has a great post showing a Vegan New Year's Eve buffet... - that's what I'd like here!! szupa!
Vegavarázs - http://vegavarazs.hu/
By Hémangi - a vegetarian for 20 yrs.. who had lived at Somogyvámos for many years - a Krishna eco-village just south of Lake Balaton.
("Veggie Magic") Author of a successful cookbook "From the Garden to the Kitchen" (3 edition published in Hungarian and one in English), "Adventures in an Hungarian Vegetarian Kitchen" and "Eat, Pray, India" ("Ízek, imák, India"). The dishes are influenced by Indian cooking... and are vegetarian - Krishna cuisine tends to accept the use of milk - which necessarily in the West is tied up with the death of cows for veal... and so I have a problem with what appears to be a contradiction in Krishna cuisine... but in the end if the recipes are good the milk can be substituted for any number of nut/grain milks that are available to us all... I do like the cover shot on "Ízek, imák, India" ..
more to come...
