- Ilona and Erzsébet are two elderly sisters who have baked traditional Hungarian strudel all their lives. They learned the art of this delicate pastry from their mother during the Communist era. Today, the sisters continue to bake strudel for more than 500 people at a time-bickering and singing all the while. Read more: www.theatlantic.com/video/ind...
"Strudel Sisters" was directed by Peter Hegedus and Jaina Kalifa (www.jainakalifa.com). It is part of The Atlantic Selects, an online series of short documentaries from independent creators, curated by The Atlantic.

That Moment when you are hungarian and can understand everything they are saying 😊
I am slovakian and I can also understand everything...hmmm
@@lukasprochazkaprod that's great
Lukas Prochazka Because of subtitles?
@@irosonur6851 tudhat magyarul?
@@melalepou no answer, maybe Lukas really did not understand Hungarian
The world needs more people like these ladies.
I'm Hungarian-American. This is precious. My grandma was just like these women...and she made retes (strudel) like this often.
These two ladies are too cute! No fancy equipment; tiny little stove and I bet you that strudel tastes like heaven.
Even better -- like heaven & good sex @ the same time! 8~D
This made me feel so cozy and warm.
What a couple of sweet old ladies.. and what a beautiful language!
I think they’re speaking Evenki. It’s the language of the native northern Russians. It’s also spoken in parts of China. I may be mistaken, but they definitely weren’t speaking Russian.
@@AB-gn8oh this is Hungarian.
Nuna I'm from there too
@@AB-gn8oh It's Hungarian. My grandparents spoke it.
Hargas Gabor, thank you.
Feels like I am watching my grandmother and grandaunt from across the street where I grew up
The way those ladies sang made me cry, even though I'm a grown man 33 old almost 2 meters tall... We enjoy the modern life but as these people go away an old world dies along with them.
Reminds me of going to my grandma's on holidays when she would bake.. My grandmother and her family moved from Hungary in 1945. She could cook and bake like nobody's buisness. And when her and her daughters or relatives where there you couldn't understand a single word being spoken lol. Great memories
So glad we can get things and most importantly beautiful people like this on record so all this beauty isn't just lost
I am as a hungarian-living in Chicago-can't wait to be in Hungary and to eat an amazing Rétes (strudel). They have sweet cherry strudel, sour cherry strudel, cheese strudel(cottage/farm cheese with vanilla and raisin), apricot strudel, apple strudel, poppyseed strudel, cherry with poppyseed strudel, cherry with cheese strudle etc. It taste like haven. Once I was dreaming and waking up middle of the night since I was craving for the taste of studel. Still I can not find here, in Chicago, a real/good studel like in Hungary.
Wow, I never thought I would see pastry strudel being made from scratch again by two women who remind me of my grandmothers! I am 65 and I would help my mom when she made the strudel dough. The room had to be warm and moist so once she started she had to keep moving stretching the dough along to the sides of the table and then filling and wrapping it. Stretching that thin dough took patience and love and Ilona and Erzsébet show it is an art form. I wonder if there are any chefs alive today that make their own strudel dough? We were poor but this is a rich person's dessert when made from the heart.
Who here wants these ladies as grandmas?!
Many of us did ☹️
My gma was like them, just the best. I hate that she’s gone.
@@feederdiaries4862 Me too! I miss my beloved grandma every day.
American Hungarian who appreciates this video and gives me insight into Hungarian people.
This is so recognizable! For every grand dictator, there are millions of people who live hard lifes. And they have to find a way to be happy, too.
They are adorable!
They remind me of my own grandma who passed away some years ago. She used to cook like they do. I can still taste all the strudel, cookies, Lángos and cjirke paprikás she made from scratch. RIP Grandma. Szeretlek ❤❤❤
My grandmother was the same. I wish I had learned all her recipes, especially her gombóc, but I was young and cared more about eating than learning lol! If only I had known how fast everything can change. Hungarian food is truly cooked with so much love. Hope you are doing well!
Genuine people. Love the hand work no machine can make 🤗
I love this so much. It was a breath of fresh air, even as a Hungarian, to listen to these adorable ladies. :)
Do you know Jesus is a messenger of God
Love my Hungarian neighbors. Although Romanian, my grandmother spoke Hungarian, as maybe many Romanians from Western Romania know Hungarian. I learned a few words and phrases from her in Hungarian, a proud people. We have many great recipes from them : )) I think this is the story of many Eastern Europeans. Life was hard under communism. Anything that we had of value, land, house was confiscated from people and given over to the government. That's why socialism/communism ruins nations, societies. Nanele astea imi aduc aminte de bunicele de la tara. Sunt la fel si in tara noastra-fara echivoc. : ))
I wanted to rewatch this because I discovered it in April 2020 while living in Brasov! I like your comments. Yep , socialism and communism ruins everything. I wish people could see …
This makes me want to text my sister & say how much I love her 😭😂
Do it.
Do it!
Never allow a day to pass without telling the people you love, (I love you)
Just act on your thought immediately !!
Hurry Up!!
I'm Hungarian American my grandfather came across on a boat to the U.S
I watched my O’Mommy & her older sister bake this throughout my childhood & early adult life. What a treasure this was to watch. They make it look easy but that dough is stretched paper-thin & you cannot get a tear or hole in it or all the juices will leak out of the roll. Strudel for 500! AMAZING! My grandmother grew up in this same era. Most of these recipes we dough & fruit-poor man’s meals but what flavor! Thanks for capturing this! Made me smile & cry at the same time.
And the secret ingredient is love.
The lives of these ladies under communist rule was cruel and hard. I choked up listening to them as I recalled the stories told to me by my Hungarian Grandma many years ago. I admire their spirit as I did my Grandma whom I loved dearly.
this makes me so proud❤🇭🇺💚
God bless, and blessed are all who are fortunate enough to taste their Strudel.
ahhhhhhhhh they are so cute! What a lovely report! We got to turn to the beauty in people more times. Reality is very harsh when we only see desgrace on the news. Thanks, Atlantic! Congrats from Brazil.
My great grandparents emigrated from Hungary before the year 1900. So I love seeing anything to do with the people and culture.
These ladies are lovely and I would snatch up a cookbook if they had it. ❤
Two sweet, gentle souls.
These two ladies remind me my "nagymama".
The simplicity of they are touching, so simple and so brave people.
Today's people are very egoistic and foolish, our present world is full of futilities.
I was able to understand the Hungarian speech of they, i got tear in my eyes.
so no one's gonna say how much they wanna taste their strudels?
I am as a hungarian-living in Chicago-can't wait to be in Hungary and to eat an amazing strudel. They have cherry, cheese(cottage/farmcheese with vanilla and raisin), apple, poppyseed, cherry and poppyseed, cherry and cheese etc
The sisters brought back wonderful, heart warming memories to me. I thank both of you so very much. Koszonom szepen, Hegyeshalmi lany voltam - soha nemfelejtem el a nemzetemet. :):):)
She sacrificed her life for family.
She has a knot in her chest she must swallow--
It's easy to imagine the aged as zen, and above it all. But you never really outgrow tragedy.
Yes, this was very moving 😥
Poftim?
Beautiful sisters! You can tell the reverence they have for their mother.
I just wish that they also have the subtitles for the song(s) they're singing.
Ya. Same here.
For Hungarians... only the mother figure matters. Most ere selfless in the most difficult of times.
@@CikisHelyzet True! My grandmother was! She was from Alsóőr [aka Unterwart], now in Burgenland, Austria. Unterwart is one of only two majority ethnic Hungarian towns in Austria.
Dhumma Vati What is the other Hungarian town in Austria, please?
@@brigitalarsen7335 Not sure. I will email a cousin over there & ask.
Reminds me of my Grandma. She and my mom and aunts were also world class bakers. Their apple strudel was beyond compare.
this video took me back to my guilds chef training.We had an Austrian chef who taught us this..he told us the other crap as he put it was a jalousie a french version.We had a ball making it and I still do it this way
This reminds me so much of my grandmother. She's very old now, but she still bakes and cooks on her small table in her kitchen. Her kitchen even looks similar. She also always sings. I love this so much
This makes me want to get out my Hungarian mother's recipe book and make this too! 😋
What beautiful sisters ❤. Köszönöm 🇭🇺 ❤
This is so wholesome! I hope they are well and healthy today!
I know she did too. Yes, Ma'am. My grandmother would sing every once in a while when she cooked too.
My mother as well.
Thank you so much for sharing your reciepe. My mother and grandmother made a smaller version of this.
Ohhh, and the roll cake.
I remember my grandmother was called zsazsu is in the kitchen or zsuzsa. My grandmother would giggle and smile.
Thank you for this and the memories of my own Hungarian grandparents and many other relatives. I still bake fro.m her recipes and taught my own daughters and granddaughters. Much love from USA
Great video! These two ladies are amazing.
They reminds me of my grandma ♥️
What a beautiful story and that technique is above any michelin restaurant.
OMG. I admire and adore these two lovely ladies.
How wonderful ladies with a hard life and they make many people happy with there cooking. Blessings.
My grandmother was born in Hungary (Budapest), you can see how simple life was over there and how women didn't care about their appearances because they were too busy taking care of their families!
Life is not like this in Budapest now. Neither was it like this ever, really. These traditions mostly stayed in villages or smaller towns sadly..But of course you can see the old times in Budapest too🤗
Wholesome and beautiful, I love it.
Takes you back in time to a different world. Sad and beautiful at once.
So beautiful
Thank you for sharing.
Wow. These two Sisters are so loveable. Iam longing foe my own late Sisters at this moment.
ابتسامتهم عفوية ومشرقة، الله يعطيكم الصحة والعافية.
wonderful, thank you!
I loved your story and watching you two cook. God bless you both
Thank you for bringing back woundrrful memories.
beautiful people
Such a great story. How loving the sister's are.
Sang beautiful indeed. Yes, Ma'am. Beautiful.
Bayıldım kardeşlere,umarım hayattadırlar.Ellerine sağlık.
I used to help my grandmother (in Hungary) to make rétes when I was a kid, all the varieties. Nagymama was a great cook, I think my mother would die for a piece of her Császár rétes ... I try to make it myself now and again and though it’s good and tasty, it gets nowhere near ...
Such a Lovely Story.
Csodalatos! Ilyenkor vagyok buszke hogy Magyar vagyok!
That was just wonderful! God bless them!
They are lovely!
The sisters are so sweet! I wish I had my sister around to bake with. 🥰
I was told it should be thin enough to read a love letter through!
İ came here to wathc the recepie. However wathcing these old ladies İ ended up thinking that aging is very natural and actually beautiful thing. There is a different aura around them: gentle, calm, present, full with life experience. İt reminded me my own gradmother and all the love i received from her. She would cook for us delicious cakes which no one can recreate.
my goodnes they are adoooorable
My parents were from Budapest they came to the USA in 1957
Beautiful ladies
Sweet and beautiful and makes my heart ache.
This is absolutely beautiful I Love this traditional style
this was endearing to watch
How sweet
And they can sing.
A Happy Kitchen's Ingredients:
Two Stuedel Sisters❤❤🤗🤗
God Blessings to these amazing Teacher
Couple of Angels

sweet sisters.
Túrós Rétes is the food of the Gods!!! Let’s not forget Mákos Rétes either. Absolutely Delicious!!!
♡^^ so cute
Awesome 👍👍👍👍😎
Nice!👍
Wow so beautiful this two sister together making dessert .my mother is hungarian and they speak like my mom .from where are they coming from in hungary?
When l first made the pastry skin they broke easily when l stretched them over the table. Until an experience baker told me my dough need to be soak in oil for about 30 minutes before you stretch it. That solved the problem , it stretches beautifully thereafter.
Apple strudel with ice cream is heavenly.
Nice video I like your all video
❤️❤️❤️
einfach nur gut, danke euch beiden, langes leben und gesundheit liebe grüße aus wien❤❤👍👍😘😘
De dragak!!!!!
Nice
Wish the captions translated the songs they are singing, as well
Beautiful !!! Bravo!!! Yummy!!!
I wish that they would slow down or actually demonstrated closer step by step instructions IE from the Crumbs of dough to the filled already ,perfect to be rolled & bakes Who ever produced that film,Skipped through many steps for the viewers. Their very interesting childhood & family history could have been earlier or separate as Preface to the strudel making steps
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊
Delicious .
DOLGIX LET ZIZNI,VAM SESTRICKI!👍
