CHICKEN FETTUCINE

There used to be a busy restaurant on Tranquille called Roma's. We would go there for the best chicken fettucine in town. When they moved next door to the old Keg building we had a rehearsal dinner there. One day I dropped in for lunch and was surprised to see the place nearly empty... That should have been the clue things were not the same. Then I got a long black hair served with the food. You loose a good chef and the restaurant is done. Shortly thereafter a service club took over the building. I drove by the other day there is an apartment building going up on the spot. The one constant since the beginning of time is change... sometimes for the better and sometimes not.

It began with posting a few recipes on line for the family. "zsuzsa is in the kitchen" has more than 1000 Hungarian and International recipes. What started out as a private project turned into a well visited blog. The number of visitors long passed the two million mark. I organized the recipes into an on-line cookbook. On top of the page click on "ZSUZSA'S COOKBOOK". From there click on any of the chapters to access the recipes. For the archive just scroll to the bottom of the page. I am not profiting from my blog, so visitors are not harassed with advertising or flashy gadgets. The recipes are not broken up with photos at every step. Where needed the photos are placed following the recipe. Feel free to cut and paste my recipes for your own use. Publication is permitted as long as it is in your own words and with your own photographs. However, I would ask you for an acknowledgement and link-back to my blog. Happy cooking!
