Elizabeth, I go back and forth, but chances are I won't touch it until at least my kids are grown. I didn't mention that there's a door from the kitchen that opens up to our land, fruit trees and garden, and the hourly chime of the church bell. Because it's rustic and aged, I never worry about bringing messes in with us from a harvest, which means we live much closer to land here than anywhere else. every renovated I feel like that might shift.
One of my favorite lines from this piece: "Once you travel like a local, you’re afforded a more peaceful, intimate experience of a place." This is exactly how we like to travel and why we live in an RV! It's fun to go to some of the touristy things but also, I want to know how people live in a place.
Your time cooking in St. Tropez sounds blissful as does your kitchen in Hungary, and that photo of Hungarian Gulyás made my mouth water.
What a beautiful life, Sarah! Thank you for the peek inside.
Thank you for this beautiful note, Rebecca! Getting to try on others lives through travel has been the most fulfilling thing to me, and has deeply shaped how I live, the choices we make and of course, what we eat at home. I'm so happy this resonates!
Love the “travel like a local, eat like a local.” I’ve often asked locals how to cook something or prepare a food when I shop at markets. And one housekeeping spot in southern France even had cookbooks put together by local women. So I tried numerous recipes. (And bought the cookbooks to take home.)
That's beautiful! I'm so glad you're already doing this--so much of the joy of travel is missed while trying to check off all the boxes of what people believe makes a place special, when what is most special about a place is often a feeling, the people, the quiet moments at the shops and markets and smaller, unflashy restaurants only locals know about.
I loved reading this, especially the sweet story about the pastry board and the glimpse into your Hungarian life.
Such a wonderful look inside this lovely kitchen, and the story of the pastry board is so touching. Also, what beautiful food and photos!
Thank you so much, Jolene! I treasure this pastry board, and wish for it often when I'm baking in New York.
Don't touch the Hungarian kitchen! 😊
Loved this post and all of your beautiful photos. Looking forward to trying your soup recipes.

Gorgeous kitchen, Sarah! Every time I read something you’ve written I want to return to Hungary where my husband and I met a million years ago ❤️🇭🇺💚
Oh Betty, how wonderful to read this! I'd love to learn more of your story! Thank you for being here and reading and for your lovely comments ❤️🇭🇺
This was brilliant and inspiring just like Sarah. Adding Hungary to my list of places to travel. I hope she's there when I visit!
Colu, how I hope you can make that trip! ❤️ Thank you as always for your support.
I love Sarah and everything she does! This was such a fun read. I’m now scheming a trip to Hungary…
Oooh, please come! Come now, come soon! It's like visiting Provence in the 1960s before all Americans arrived.
That’s exactly what I’m looking for!

And, of course, the secret places we often want to keep for ourselves.
Yes, true!
Such an honor to share a peek inside our home and life in Hungary. Thank you, Lynn, for hosting me this week!
The pleasure is all ours.
Thanks for the insight. Very interesting, and very informative💕😋💕
Thank you for reading, Ibrahim!
