Amongst many other things, I am Judit Horvath, the baker. I bake. And I bake a little more. And if there is nothing to do – or too much to do – I bake even more. I don’t know why I love baking the way I do, but I can’t help it. With its sweet, warm fresh products, with its mouthwatering smells, with its always surprising outcomes and all, baking is like a little chunk of heaven on Earth. Fresh, home-made bakes are comforting, reassuring as if they cuddle you from the inside as you are eating them. They can be sexy, old-fashioned, strong, delicate, and those bakes feels like food that do want to make you safe and happy. Eat it warm from the oven, pack it modern and appealing, trasform it to a gift or let it be the ultimate comfort food. Baking has countless faces.
For me baking can represent my entire life: memories of my grandmothers, relationship to my parents, heritage of my childhood, future of my teaching, and giving the purpose to them all, it expresses my love towards my family, my husband. Baking is a timeless pleasure that connects the self to wherever and whoever one desires to be.
The greatest advantage is that once you start baking, you will never be bored or alone any more… “Serve good bread and butter before the meal and all will be well” said Marco Pierre White the Michelin Starred Chef. I believe that once you become a baker ALL WILL BE WELL.
When Judit bakes...bread and better..

Congrats once again!

Dear Mariel, it was my pleasure indeed…XXX
Great statement about not just the ‘Joy of Baking’ but why it is so good. Agree that their is nothing better than fresh baked bread (or anything made with care), but what I most liked about what you said was “baking can represent my entire life: memories of my grandmothers, relationship to my parents”. My grandmother and mother were great bakers, and nothing came close to the aroma created and the controlled chaos in watching them go at it…except the love I had watching and taking it all in.

Hi Judit, I just stumbled across your blog and have been browsing some of your fantastic recipes! I just wanted to post a quick comment to say how much I have enjoyed reading them and it is self taught bakers like you that really inspire me to become a better baker. I was 15 when I started my blog and I really enjoy baking and cooking recipes and then trying to be original and make them my own so I will be definitely be trying some of yours in the near future! I would really appreciate it if you could have a quick browse through my blog as I would really love your opinion due to the fact that I have very little blogging and baking experience and would love the opinion of a more experienced blogger. Thank you! 🙂

Hi Judit! Thanks very much for following Island Vignettes. We share a love of baking, mine found more recently. You are right – one is no longer alone when baking. The feeling of turning of out the perfect bake after following a recipe is very therapeutic for me. Looking forward to more of your recipes – and I love how you give a neat little background before the recipe – it brings life to the writing!
🙂
Congratulations on your book! I’ll put it on my Xmas list…Take care hun. 🙂

Great to see some of your recipes in the Easter issue of Baking Heaven. And a joy to be in the same issue
Dear Philip, I have just received my copy in Hungary. Thank you for the lovely comment 😉 It is great to see your recipes too and although I am not a great baklava fan, your eclairs and scones seem true magic! J. XXXX
Please can you advise me about care of the starter liquid and the mother dough during the time you are not baking with them . I was so happy to see you featured in Gluten Free Christmas Heaven, not met before but will defo follow you now . Thanks in anticipation of someone being able to answer my question .
Hi dear. Thank you for following! In response to your question, I keep the starter in the fridge and feed it weekly. I use the discard in pancakes and pasta. Should you have any other questions, let me know. 😉 Judit XXX
