About the Author
Hello, my name is Suzanne Urpecz and I’m the author of The Hungarian Girl (or for that matter – the actual Hungarian Girl herself!). As you can see, my background is Hungarian. I grew up in a traditional home with great food and culture. I now want to share those wonderful experiences with everyone just as I did.
I’m currently studying Culinary and Baking Arts at George Brown College in Toronto, Canada. I’m planning to open my own bakery and cafe this year.
I also have a background in Journalism -Broadcasting and I’m a graduate of Seneca College. Previously, I worked at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in their newsroom as well as at several communication and marketing agencies.
I’ve recently had a chance to travel throughout Hungary, Austria, and the Czech Republic. It was an incredible experience for which I was able to learn so much about food and culture. I also hope to do a lot more travelling throughout Central & Eastern Europe in the near future for both pleasure and business.
I do use the term “Central & Eastern European food” to describe this blog. Although, I want to make it very clear that each country within these regions has its own history, people, language, culture, and traditions. However, regardless of their differences they all share great passion and love for their food.
My hope is to inspire others to learn more about these cuisines and for those who are familiar with it to continue the tradition.
Thanks for visiting and be sure to come back soon!
Sincerely,
The Hungarian Girl

Suzanne, Great site, I’ve shared it with my 5 hungarian siblings! We would love to go to Hungary and it sounds like others are interested in food and culture also. So I was thinking that it would be wonderful to go together! Would you consider putting together a touring trip of Hungary? What do you think?
Szia Suzanne! A friend just point out your blog to me–so interesting, since I’m also in Toronto and have a Hungarian background (and love to cook!).
I’ll definintely keep an eye on your blog!
Thanks very much! Glad your enjoying the site.
