Autor: Judith Gurfinkel

Judith Gurfinkel is a Hungarian born enthusiastic baker who embarked on a project of reviving old Austro-Hungarian pastry recipes, triggered by family inheritance. She launched Pastries from the Past as a book to bring new life into the hundred-year-old recipes. While writing the book she translated the German and Hungarian texts, converted them to current units of measures and ingredients, tried them out by baking and tasting and documenting step by step instructions and finally, by photographing the process and the results.She lives in Vancouver Canada and frequently prepares delicious cakes for her family and friends.
