НазваниеSpecialis Dish-ek
ОписаниеRecipe book containing handwritten recipes and specials lists for sauces, chicken dishes, steak dishes, fish dishes, omlettes, spaghetti dishes, cheeses, salads, pancakes and desserts. The recipes are written in a combination of Hungarian and English.
The book is from the Manhattan restaurant at 319 Barkly Street, Elwood, Victoria. The restaurant was owned and operated between 1960 and 1963 by the Sarkadi family, Holocaust survivors from Hungary who migrated to Australia in 1958. The family was made up of grandmother Margit Reisz (b. 1889), Laszlo (b. 1907) and Ilona Sarkadi (nee Reisz, b. 1916), and their three children Joseph (b. 1934), Stephen (b. 1938) and Emily (b. 1947).
The Sarkadis lived in the building, and rented out extra rooms or flats to single male boarders. László and Ilona had no experience as restaurateurs. Ilona’s mother Margit, however, was a talented cook and was an invaluable part of the operation. Joseph and Stephen, who harboured dreams of moving to America, successfully campaigned to name the restaurant "Manhattan" early in its life. The restaurant served Hungarian-influenced cuisine to fellow ex-patriots and migrants from elsewhere in Europe. Nearby was another Hungarian restaurant (the Little Vienna in St. Kilda) owned by migrants from the same village as the Sarkadi family.
The restaurant closed in 1963 following Margit's death.
