About the Presentation

Join Dénes Takácsy, leader of Boston's Forgás Hungarian Dance Group, as he shows us one of his favorite family recipes, for Hortobágyi palacsinta. These savory crepes are wrapped around a delectably-spiced stewed meat filling and served with a sauce made from the thickened cooking liquid.

After moving to Boston, Dénes started to teach a weekly Hungarian dance class, which is still going strong over 10 years later.

Dénes says, “Besides of my dancing passion, I truly enjoy cooking as well. I love to entertain friends and share homemade Hungarian dishes with them based on authentic family recipes.”
