Simply delicious!
Delicious creamy spaghetti squash with dill. This wonderful veggie stew makes a perfect lunch or dinner. No wonder they are very popular in Hungary. Serve it as it is or pair it some fresh bread, with some hard-boiled or sunny-side-up eggs, frankfurters, meatloaf – or …
Another delicious traditionally Hungarian one-dish meal, in Hungarian: “székelykáposzta” [SAY-kay-kap-oh-stah]. This meaty cabbage stew is so easy to prepare, and it just gets better and better every time it is reheated. Back in Budapest, if I needed some fresh pickled cabbage, I just went to …
The divine mix of sponge cake, cream and wild berries makes this colourful dessert unforgettable. This wild berry casserole is super easy to make. Let it chill in the fridge for a bit, and serve. I got this recipe from a friend after I tasted it. It is so simple, that she did not even need to write it down, she just told me the steps.
I always make it with my home made sponge cake. If you don’t have enough time for your own sponge, try it simply with a store bought one. It is great with fresh fruits, but for me frozen mixed berries work the best.
The sauce has its secret ingredient – sour cream. It sounds wild doesn’t it?! Taste the result, and you will understand immediately what I am raving about. The sour cream brings together the sweetness of the sugar and the sourness of the lemon, and creates a fantastic balance. There is no strict rule about the amount of sugar and lemon you should use.

Method
Sponge cake
Follow the step by step instructions in my Sponge Cake recipe
Cream sauce
Mix sauce ingredients, and adjust the sweetness and sourness to your taste. I like a nice, balanced flavour, not too sweet, not too sour.
Cover a large glass or ceramic baking dish with a layer of inch-sized sponge cake pieces.
With a small ladle or spoon pour half of the sauce (a third if you make three layers) onto the sponge layer. Use the spoon to spread it evenly.
Spread evenly half of the berries (a third if you make three layers) on the sponge cake pieces
Repeat the layers again (once or twice depending on the size of the baking dish) – sponge cake pieces, sauce and berries.
Cover it and refrigerate for a couple of hours to chill, then it is ready to serve. Enjoy!
