This might explain why, while I prepare a dish, I always think in terms of colours and vision. I aspire to show the beauty of food to my guests.
\nI studied cooking watching my mother and I still often get inspired by family recipes.
\nAt the beginning of my career, I worked as a simple chef, but in the autumn of 2006, I was hired by the Alabardos restaurant. This is where I became familiar with fine dining. At the time, catering in Hungary was experiencing a new approach. I learnt new techniques and came across new ingredients. All these changes had a great effect on me: the world had become wider for me. After spending a few weeks in Vila Joya in Portugal (a restaurant with two Michelin stars), I realised that Hungary needed a similar type of catering.
\nIn 2010, Tam\u00e1s Horvath and Zoltan Kalocsai gave me the opportunity to head the kitchen of their new restaurant, Wine Kitchen. I threw myself into my first head chef job with fear and excitement. Since the opening, I have learnt and changed much. I have gained experience in leading a kitchen, inspiring a team and renewing continuously.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”186″ img_size=”480×550″][\/vc_column][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1503648911525{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]What is the philosophy of my kitchen? I would like to lead a kitchen with lots of flavours. However, if I had to define just one style, I would say “free”. I get inspired by the gastronomy of Transylvania, but I also use ingredients from countries such as Spain, France or Italy. I would like to show the varied faces of Hungarian cooking using modern technologies.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”60px”][\/vc_column][\/mk_page_section][mk_page_section bg_image=”http:\/\/borkonyha.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/csaba.jpg” attachment=”fixed” bg_position=”center center” bg_repeat=”no-repeat” bg_stretch=”true” sidebar=”sidebar-1″][vc_column][mk_fancy_title color=”#ffffff” size=”25″ font_weight=”100″ txt_transform=”uppercase” margin_top=”170″ margin_bottom=”100″ font_family=”none” align=”center”]Pusk\u00e1s Csaba – Sous Chef[\/mk_fancy_title][\/vc_column][\/mk_page_section][mk_page_section][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”100px”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”143″ img_size=”480×570″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1503574708874{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]Amikor Csaba a Bock Bistrot elhagyta, \u00e9ppen k\u00fclf\u00f6ldre ment volna dolgozni, amikor Tam\u00e1s meggy\u0151zte, hogy ink\u00e1bb j\u00f6jj\u00f6n a Borkonyh\u00e1ba. Itt azt\u00e1n r\u00f6vid id\u0151 ut\u00e1n S\u00e1rk\u00f6zi \u00c1kos bizalmi ember\u00e9v\u00e9 v\u00e1lt. \u201e\u00c9rdekes azt mondani ebben a szakm\u00e1ban, hogy itt tal\u00e1ltam meg a nyugalmat.\u201d \u2013 \u00e1rulta el Csaba, akire els\u0151sorban S\u00e1rk\u00f6zi \u00c1kos kisug\u00e1rz\u00e1sa hatott j\u00f3t\u00e9konyan. Ha valami ugyanis nem ment, akkor nem a letorkoll\u00e1s k\u00f6vetkezett, hanem a s\u00e9f m\u00e9g egyszer megmutatta. Csab\u00e1nak az is tetszett a helyben, hogy hagyj\u00e1k az embereket \u00e9rv\u00e9nyes\u00fclni.
\nEddig arra a legb\u00fcszk\u00e9bb, amikor az egyik ny\u00e1ri \u00e9tlap meg\u00edr\u00e1s\u00e1t \u00c1kos r\u00e1b\u00edzta, \u00e9s a k\u00edn\u00e1lt \u00e9telek m\u0171k\u00f6dtek is, mert tetszettek a vend\u00e9geknek.

\nA szakm\u00e1ban Csaba a kreativit\u00e1st \u00e9rt\u00e9keli a legjobban. P\u00e9ld\u00e1ul, hogy egy-egy alapanyagot \u00fagy \u00e1t lehet alak\u00edtani, hogy azt nem is gondoln\u00e1 az ember, mint p\u00e9ld\u00e1ul a m\u00e1r eml\u00edtett t\u00e1pi\u00f3kachips eset\u00e9ben. Csaba \u00c1kos st\u00edlus\u00e1ban is ezt a kreativit\u00e1st kedveli, amit nagyon laz\u00e1n \u00e9s szabadon k\u00e9pes alkalmazni: \u201eszinte b\u00e1rmi beker\u00fclhet b\u00e1rmi mell\u00e9\u201d.
\nSzereti azt is, amikor feszes a ritmus, \u00e9s v\u00e9gig lehet p\u00f6r\u00f6gni. A nap v\u00e9g\u00e9n pedig ki lehet engedni.
\nCsaba szerint a Michelin Csillag ut\u00e1n nem is lett olyan nagy a v\u00e1ltoz\u00e1s, mert \u00e9ppen \u00fagy f\u0151znek, mint el\u0151tte, csak t\u00f6bb emberre volt sz\u00fcks\u00e9g\u00fck, hogy a megn\u00f6vekedett forgalmat ki tudj\u00e1k szolg\u00e1lni.

Having left Restaurant M\u00e1gn\u00e1skert, we set off on different professional paths that led us to Bock Bistro and Bort\u00e1rsas\u00e1g. But our friendship and family ties stayed strong over the years, therefore it was obvious that may opportunity come, we would open a restaurant together.
\nWinekitchen, as we see it, is a blend of a French-style bistro and a contemporary family restaurant offering the best of Hungarian cuisine. The name Winekitchen speaks for itself. The concept is based on the wide and diverse wine list, the delicious food and the personal and relaxed service.
\nOur wine assortment includes 200 different, mostly Hungarian wines that represent not only the well-known wineries, but also small and yet-to-be-discovered cellars. We offer 48 wines by the glass at a time and have a temperature-controlled wine shelf with 1200-bottle-capacity so that you could buy wine by the bottle at a reasonable price for either take-away or drinking it on spot.
\nOur cuisine is based on fresh, even daily purchased ingredients and on the weekly-fortnightly changing offers written on the black board. Our chef, \u00c1kos S\u00e1rk\u00f6zi has been with us from the first moment. We appreciate his knowledge and genuineness, professionalism showed while working in Restaurant Alab\u00e1rdos, his continuous success in the Tradition and Evolution competition, and the experiences he gained as a stage in the Portuguese two-Michelin-star Restaurant Villa Joya.
\nThe proof of the pudding is in the eating, so come and visit us and we hope that you will become a regular guest at Winekitchen.<\/p>\n
