COOK AND BAKE WITH THE BEST HUNGARIAN RECIPES

The Ladies Guild of the First United Church of Christ published a new cookbook for the lOOthanniversaryofthechurch. They have been keeping the tradition of prin ting Hungarian recipes since 1963 when they came out with the first book. The title was: “Favorite Hungarian Pastries and Desserts compiled by The Women’s Guild of the FirstUnitedChurch of Christ, Bridgeport, Connecticut” It had 142 recipes of how to make the famous Hungarian pastries.

In 1970 they published a cookbook four times the size of the first one. The only problem they had with this edition was that it was sold out in one month, in October, and had to do a reprint in November. This book had all kinds of recipes not just for baking. Four years later a revised edition was published.

Then we see “A Book of Real Hungarian Recipes” from the Pine Street church, not dated. When the church moved to Clinton Avenue the Ladies Guild put out a book with 252 recipes. It was named “Favorite Hungarian Recipes.”

The latest book, “1894-1994, Centennial Cookbook,” just came off the press. It is a real professional publication, nice typesetting, hard cover, and 629 recipes. Most of them also have the Hungarian name—with an American accent. It was tremendous work to put this book together, it looks like everybody chipped in. S ince I can’t give the whole list, I would like to mention those who were on the finishing committee. They are Liz Domyan, Helen Canaiy, Betty Horvath and Barbara Szwejkowski. If you wish to purchase this cookbook call 368-3103, or you could pick it up at the church. The price is $10.00.

We congratulate the Ladies Guild for their contribution to the Hungarian heritage.

NEW YEAR’S EVE AT ST. EMERY’S

Partygoers, dressed in casual country Western style to dressy sophisticated, said goodbye to the year 1993 and welcomed in the New Year 1994 at Saint Emery’s New Year’s Eve party held in the school hall.

The partygoers enjoyed a lovely sumptuous buffet prepared by Mrs. Katalin Horvath of the Kossuth Club and served by her staff with a dessert of delicious, freshly made crepes suzette and coffee.

The dance floor was crowded during the entire evening to the music of the marvelous Melody Boulevard band. Country Western filled in during the band breaks.

There was a door prize raffle of many prizes including bottles of cheer (what else?) and other items. An additional “split-club” raffle added to the excitement of the evening with three lucky winners.

Following the midnight crossover into 1994 with party hats, horns blasting, noisemakers, streamers covered the entire floor of the hall. At midnight there was a toast with coffee and cake.

Fr. Robert, Fr. Emeric, Brother László and Sister Lucille joined the partygoers, all enjoying good company, good food and wonderful music. Although the band ended its evening at 1:30 a.m., the committee members did not leave until 3:00 or so.

Much of the success was the result of the ticket committee that included: Tom St. Hilaire, chairman, Stephen Olah and Frank S. Polke.

Tom and Frank conducted the raffles, both equally “at home” with the mike.
