Description
From the chef and owner of Agi’s Counter in Brooklyn comes 100 classic Hungarian and Jewish recipes reinvented for a new generation.
Growing up a second-generation Hungarian Jew meant Jeremy Salamon spent a lot of time with family, gathered around a good meal. Jeremy honored both his grandmothers, Agi and Arlene, in 2021 by opening up his restaurant Agi’s Counter in Brooklyn where he carries on the culture, flavors, and recipes from his heritage. He’s reimagined those traditions with an eye towards seasonality, market-driven ingredients, and a touch of American influence, plus the technical expertise of a career spent in some of New York’s best kitchens.
In Second Generation, traditional Hungarian classics like Meggyleves, a Sour Cherry Soup, are updated with a twenty-first-century point of view. Agi’s Counter staples like the Tuna Melt, Caraway Caesar Salad, and the Chilled Buttermilk Borscht bring your favorite diner counter straight to your kitchen. And Jeremy’s reinventions like Nokedli Cacio e Pepe and Körözött-Stuffed Squash Blossoms reimagine Hungarian flavors for the forward-thinking cook.
Second Generation covers not just main and side dishes, but desserts, drinks, noshes, pantry staples, and remedies—the secret recipes to reach for in times of need. With tips from a professional chef curated for the home cook, these recipes are streamlined and accessible for all levels of expertise in the kitchen. This book is made for anyone, whether you hold Eastern-European flavors near or are looking to expand your weekly rotation. Second Generation is a testament to a grandmother’s wisdom, cooking from the heart, and sharing it with the next generation.

My favorite cookbooks are ones that give me a glimpse into someone else's world. The colors, images, and recipes in Second Generation certainly do that, and they feel like a cozy hug on a cold day. The thoughtful details, like photos of tiles and family connections, warmed my heart. When it comes to the food, the recipes are clear and I've already bookmarked 10 that I'm excited to try soon!

These recipes made me feel at home (and made my mouth water)!I love that Jeremy Salamon adds his own spin on his grandmother's traditional recipes because it feels very personal. I cannot wait to keep cooking through this book and testing out the wide variety it has to offer. The recipes are very clear and easy to follow!

Thank you so much NetGalley and William Morrow for my copy of Second Generation.
I was in tears reading through just the introduction. More information than you need here, but I am third generation in the United States, Jewish and Hungarian. My maternal grandparents are Holocaust survivors from Budapest. My mother's father escaped under gunfire in 1956 and came to the United States, where he met my grandmother after attending a Hungarian ball in New York. They recently passed away, but they shaped who I am in every way.
My grandmother was a wonderful cook, but I wasn't a very interested student. It brings me great joy to have this cookbook now. I loved the photos and familiar recipes, and look forward to cooking through this book over the years. Nokedli was one of my grandmother's most requested dishes from her grandchildren and I'll be making the Nokedli Cacio e Pepe soon.
