December is here again (so quickly!) and today we are looking at Moravian and Bohemian gingerbread designs from the Czech Republic. Back home, gingerbread is eaten year round and beautifully decorated cookies are given on all occasions. You can purchase cookies with designs or harder loaves of gingerbread which is often grated into recipes. Walking...
Czechs love nothing more than lard (pork fat or sádlo) and cracklings on bread accompanied with some mustard, a bit of onion, a pickle, and a nice Czech beer. Eating this delicious combination has been known to evoke moments of genuine human joy. Seriously. Sit in any Czech pub on a cold winter night and see the...
Today we’ve made Czech style stuffed peppers (Plněné papriky) not using the usual green peppers but substituting little red and yellow peppers instead. The result was absolutely delicious! We’ve used many different recipes and variations of this dish and this one is by far the easiest and one of the most tastiest. I think what...
Today we made a delicious batch of Czech beer goulash, also known as Pilsner Goulash (Guláš na pivě) because it’s made of delicious Czech beer. Seriously, the main ingredient must be Pilsner beer or you will not get the correct flavor and taste experience. Luckily, they sell Pilsner at our local grocery store, but if you...
Czech Fried Cheese or Smažený sýr is both Czech and Slovak, this ubiquitous fried cheese is found from the classiest Czech restaurant to the shabbiest street cart and all sorts of places in between. That’s because it’s tasty! This is nothing like the mozzarella sticks you are used to. In the Czech Republic, it’s not an...
As the weather gets cooler, everything that is cooked in a large soup pot or baked in an oven just tastes even better. Yesterday we made tomatoes filled with cheese and egg and it was the perfect late lunch on such a day. Aside from my fingerprint on the lens, they sure do look appetizing, don’t...
Earlier today we shared A Taste of Czech Tradition, a new cookbook we’re having fun with, and today we decided to make a quick appetizer, radish and cheese spread. We chose this recipe because we had all of the ingredients on hand and it sounded so very Czech, not to mention, we had it whipped...

Today we’re very pleased to have a guest post written by Jana Riley of Texas. You can learn more about Jana after the post…. Wearing a kroj in Texas is a tradition in my family for more than four generations beginning in the Czech Republic, specifically the Slovácko region of Moravia, and brought to Texas. I...
Today, October 16th is World Food Day, a day when people the world over are asked to join the global movement to end hunger. World Food Day is celebrated every year around the world in honor of the date of the founding of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in 1945. We’re making a...
Last week we were able to look under a kroj to reveal the many layers and many people reached out and told us how much they enjoyed the post. Today we are once again sharing the gorgeous photography from the site of Kristýna Petříčková, a Czech costume designer actively engaged in the reconstruction of historical...

Do you ever wonder what’s under a kroj that makes it so puffy and how many layers it actually has? We do. For those who do not know what a kroj is, a kroj is a Bohemian, Moravian or Slovak traditional folk dress or costume from the area of what’s today called the Czech Republic or...
