Carolyn Bánfalvi
Carolyn Bánfalvi has reveled in the culture shock since she moved to Hungary in 1999. She has spent much of the past decade investigating Hungarian food and drink, tasting everything that she could in the name of research, and squeezing in time to earn a degree in culinary arts. That research resulted in two culinary guidebooks: Food Wine Budapest (Little Bookroom)--which was a finalist for a 2009 IACP cookbook award--and The Food and Wine Lover's Guide to Hungary (Park Kiado). She has also written for a variety of publications, including Saveur, Gastronomica, gourmet.com, Olive, The Globe and Mail, The Wall Street Journal, Chow.com, and Four Seasons. Originally from Washington D.C., Carolyn lives with her Hungarian husband and their two young daughters in Budapest. Carolyn and her husband lead food, wine, and market tours in Budapest and the Hungary wine country through Taste Hungary, their boutique culinary tour company. Check out her Web site for more.
