COFFEE IN BUDAPEST
In The Times, a family follows a 1927 guide to coffeehouses in Budapest, written by a relative, to find Gilded Age cafes. What ensues is a hunt for ‘the city’s best flodni, a semi-sweet cake whose layers of poppy seed, apple filling, walnut paste and plum jam are separated by thin strata of dough.’

LLAPINGACHOS
