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.)

My first guess would be that the first O in her surname needed two
dots over it.

I've not seen this book, but that just means that my Hungarian Cookery
Library has a space that needs filling.....

Maybe so. It looks very interesting. I am too busy sorting,
trying to shelve, logging (etc.) books to spend a lot of time on
any of them now. I have (or had?) a little piece of paper where I
jotted down the names that needed diacritical marks. That worked
well for my first file, but apparently I didn't bring the one for
the second file back. I sure HOPE it is still on the table.

Ah, that is interesting! Maybe I ought to get the book, too.

Is this just a collection of schematic recipes, or are there discussions
of origins, methods, etc.? Surprisingly, the book is not listed in the
pretty comprehensive bibliography George Lang includes in his book.

I think it is Bodóczky. See
<http://web.ceu.hu/sun/SUN%202001/Descriptions/CVs/2001bodoczky.htm>.

You can always use the Character Map, a utility included with the
Windows OS. However, as far as I am concerned, a much better way is to
use PopChar. It's been available for the Mac platform since something
like 20 years and was originally free; I eventually paid for the "pro"
version, to show my appreciation. There is now a Windows version:
<http://www.ergonis.com/products/popcharwin/>, which costs $30.

Thanks, Victor. As for your question, I hope that book is at
least visible in the new house. (I quickly ran out of space in my
European/Eastern European section of logged in books....) I may
be there tomorrow and will take a look. Otherwise, I will try to
remember this when I am reorganizing.
