"The spirit of our age is democracy. All for the people, and all by the people. Nothing about the people without the people. That is democracy.
And that is the ruling tendency of the spirit of our age." Lajos Kossuth, Ohio State Capitol, Feb 6, 1852

Ambassador Szabolcs Takács says in this year's 🇪🇺 EU Holiday Cookbook that this age-old custom can be traced back to Hungarian folk traditions. Nowadays, you may find different versions with marzipan, chestnuts, pumpkin, or even white chocolate and coconut. Sticking to the ‘original’, we bring you a recipe for bejgli with walnut and poppy seed from our Embassy's Chef Balazs Szabo.
