It has two churches (Catholic and Reformatory), a village house, a shop for basic necessities, a slow food restaurant, a bus and two flocks of sheep.

Szakácsi is centrally located in the Cserehát, an area in the shape of a V, bounded by the rivers Hernád and Bodva and the border with Slovakia.

The landscape is reminiscent of the Dordogne or Tuscany: hills with forest and agricultural areas, sleepy villages and rural scenery.

Some employment in Szakácsi is provided by two farmers, some in forestry and recently by a company that converts empty houses into holiday homes.

The Cserehát is the fruit garden of Hungary, with an abundance of apricots, peaches, plums, apples and cherries.
