My father and I just made these this week when I went to France to visit him. I also helped him set up a blog, so you can see photos of the making of them at edmundilazar@blogspot.com. I'm not sure which one of his friends sent him your website after we made it. Now I'm in brooklyn with a big wooden Chimney Cake maker.
I'm excited to try some of your recipes. I think I'll start with your cherry cake.
Sincerely,
Martha
Nora,
I really like your photo of the pastry over the coals.
Martha,
I saw your father's post about chimney cakes at bigoven.com, and was interested since I had never heard of them. I like the blog you set up for him, because he's got a nice photo of the pastry over the hot coals.
But kurtos is not the word chimney.
Good Job! :)
Does anyone know where I can buy chimney cake in England?
I discovered Chimney cakes or Kurtos-kalacs in Hungary and couldnt believe they were not more well known especially in the UK.
I have just bought a gas oven to make them from a very helpful company called kurtos-kalacs.com
I am still practicing, but would like to set the machine up in a small catering trailer and sell them at car boots sales and markets. I am sure once people taste them they will be back for more!
