00:00So it's a family-owned business. We started it five years ago, just before COVID, my sister and me.
00:06So my sister is a chef and I do front of house.
00:10But I always say she's the heart of the business because she does really good food.
00:14She does really good cakes. So I do more chatting, more coffee.
00:20So I'm the face of the cafe, but she's the heart of the cafe.
00:25So I definitely couldn't do it without her.
00:28So this is the goulash lava. So this is the traditional dish. Smells amazing.
00:34And this is some chilli that is very spicy, I've been told.
00:39So let's give it a taste test.
00:46Mmm. Oh, that's delicious.
00:50So it's a family-run business then. Are these recipes that you've kind of had for years?
00:55Well, my sister had them for years and no one actually knows these recipes.
01:00And every time when I try to help her, she doesn't have anything written down.
01:05So it's all in her head. It's quite difficult to, you know, to remake.
01:09Because every time when I want to make some of this food at home, she tells me,
01:14but it never turns out to be the same as hers.
01:18Yeah, I think it's because she's a mum and not a professional chef.
01:22I think her food tastes much better because she doesn't have those habits, what, you know, they teach you in school.
01:28It is a really, it's quite a unique flavour. It's really delicious.
01:33So this can be gluten-free as well, because it's got no pasta or anything in the soup. So delicious.
01:41So it's the Euros this summer. So, and Hungary is part of that.
01:46What is a traditional Hungarian dish? Talk me through that.
01:51Well, we got what everyone knows about is the Hungarian goulash.
01:54Hungary, it's really unique. It's a small country, but we have so many traditions, to be honest.
