Three super-creative girls decided to take a chance and start something truly unique. Although huge risks were involved in starting the project of their dreams, it turned out that their inventiveness and professional attitude always saves the day. They cook, they decorate, and they love it. Sometimes they operate at a hidden balcony, sometimes at a wedding, and sometimes at a date. They don't limit themselves, but love to be inspired by ideas that might seem impossible for others – but not for them.
We found the following introduction at the Tooo much facebook site: "Three girls in the city. Many exciting places. Seasonal dishes. Exciting, never-before-tasted foods. Unique style, maximum love." It's hard not to get interested in them, we must admit it – especially since we are longtime fans of Kinga Szász's blog, 1 Falat Zamat; we spent many hours scrolling through the website's wonderful food and interior-design photos. Kinga and Timi are responsible for tasty treats and the unique interior design; they put the soul in the machine. Timi Magyarkúti, founder of Frici Angyalai and enemy of the mainstream event industry, helps them to find their own path to those who are hungry for something new, both when it comes to food and how to celebrate important days.
Through working together, the three girls evolved from colleagues to friends, who always know what the other thinks – if one of them just scratches her head, the other two immediately know what is on her mind. But this shouldn't be a surprise: for this kind of job, they need to have the same aims and ideas, or it just won't work. Recently, Zuzsi Matók, the girl behind Nedill art & food, joined them, so the trio is actually a quartet now.
The word "pop up" is just as trendy nowdays as startups, artisanal goods, or saying that you buy everything freshly from local farmers or that you don't have a television at home. So, at first, let's get it straight: pop up – if we get rid of all the bullshit trendiness put on it – means that a venue opens quickly and is intended to exist for only a short period of time. Tooo much is the same: the three girls are full of ideas of where and what they want to cook, how the decorations should look, and what kind of gastro-seance they want to organize. Their biggest project to date was during Restaurant Days in August, with their "Princess Aurora's Balcony" pop-up restaurant. On a hidden balcony at Mikszáth Square, between creeping ivy, canopies, and flowers, they served up a unique menu consisting of bloody-Mary gazpacho, purple potatoes, pink meat bundles, trout, and a well-chosen dessert (baked southern grits). Those who were amongst the six groups of people that could enter the rabbit hole and have a dinner at Charlotte Brönte's favorite Hungarian pop-up restaurant will never forget that night.
The rabbit-hole phrase wasn't chosen by accident: during our meeting with the three girls, we felt like Alice freshly after entering Wonderland – we can't stop blinking and noticing how unique everything is in this strange new world. All three of the girls' heads are full of ideas, recipes, and places where they would love to cook, and we can assure you that they
won't be running out of ideas anytime soon. They burst with creative energy, and they deserve respect for having so much passion for what they do.
If you've reached this point in the article, you must be wondering when and where you can catch these food fairies; there will be a Sunday brunch with film screening in the VIP room of Szimpla Kert on October 19 at 11am, one of the first events of a longtime collaboration with the venue. And when everybody is familiar with them, it can easily happen that we can have romantic dinners over the city or a girl's night out at Margaret Island literally every weekend. Until then, stay tuned!
