Default ping: Victor re The Hungarian Mrs. Beeton

Remember I mention her, but then I subsequently posted something
else? I finally ran into my jottings on this author and book.

Treasure Trove of Hungarian Cookery. Mariska Vizvári. trans:
Gabriella Molnár. Rev., Caroline Bodoczky. Budapest: Corvina
Kiadó, 1981? 4th rev. ed.

From the foreword: the author "(1879-1954) was the Mrs. Beeton
of Hungary", in addition to being a well-known actress. This
looks like it warrants close scrutiny.

Note that Bodoczky is lacking at least one diacritical mark. I
need to find the book again or my jottings re missing marks. (I
haven't figured out how to do them on the laptop. I usually use
the alt method. I can't use that or any other suggested method.)
