Foreword This compilation of recipes is an activity common to all the participants in the Comenius partnership “Humans for Nature, Nature for Humansâ€?. All the recipes in this book must meet three conditions: 1.They must use local and season products. 2.They must use the less energy as possible. 3.They must be, to a reasonable extent, healthy. The aim is to make our students aware of the importance of a sensible and sustainable use of food. The use of imported and artificially grown products is being harmful to both the environment and local economies. By means of this activity, pupils are to realize the economical possibilities of eco¡friendly farming and traditional recipes, as an alternative to mass production and the acquisition of unsustainable food habits.

Did you know? Makówki, (Hungarian: Mákos Guba) is a traditional poppy seed·based dessert, most notably in Silesia where it is served almost exclusively on Christmas Eve (and perhaps on the following days, as long as the supply prepared for Christmas lasts).

(figs, raisins, apricots, dates, etc.) almonds and other kinds of nuts (the choice of nuts and dried fruit varies). It is flavoured with sugar, honey, vanilla, cinnamon and rum.
The bread is cut into thin slices and layered in a clay pot or more often into a glass or crystal bowl. After each layer, the sauce of the boiled poppy seeds, with flavouring and nuts, is pou− red so that the bread is well soaked. The top is de− corated with some extra nuts and fruit.

Central European pancakes are thin pancakes, compa− rable to the French cr pe. Palatschinken are made by creating a runny dough from eggs, wheat flour, milk and salt and frying it in a pan with butter or oil. Unlike the thick American pancake, Palatschinken are usually served with different types of fillings and ea− ten for lunch or dinner. Palatschinken are traditionally rolled with apricot jam or strawberry jam and sprinkled with confectioner's sugar. A variety of different fruit sauces, (like apple sauce) or thick fruit jams called lekvar, (plum, prune, raspberry, cherry or sour cherry jam), lemon juice and sugar, chocolate sauce, hazelnut·chocolate cream, almonds, dried or fresh fruits, sweet cottage or quark cheese and raisins, co− coa powder, poppy se− ed, or any combina− tion thereof, may also be used. Rakott palac−
sinta are layered pancakes with sweet cottage cheese and raisins, jam and walnut layers between the pan− cakes, baked in the oven. A well known Hungarian version of palatschinke is the Gundel pancake (Gundel palacsinta), made with ground walnuts, raisin, candied orange peel, cinnamon and rum filling, served flamb ed in dark chocolate sauce made with egg yolks, heavy cream and cocoa. Palatschinken may also be eaten unsweetened, plain, or filled with cheeses, meat, mushroom or vegetable stews, topped with sour cream, or cut into thin strips, called Fl dle in Germany′ s Alemannic dialects and Frittaten in Austria. Fl dle/Frittaten are used in Frittaten soup · pancake strips served in clear broth. Tip: See how many things can be learnt from recipes? Food is culturally pervaded and it can be regarded as an ethnical phenomenon. By learning about food we can learn also humans’ relations with environment.
