The taste and peace of home can be presented by a dessert – this is my aim with Chamomile. In this creation, I collected and connected the best ingredients from Alföld and Hortobágy: the pleasant chamomile flower, the surprising Hungarian rice and the sweet apple with pure Evocao chocolate. Actually, this dessert is a milk rice, transformed into art, which can remind anyone of their childhood.
