One of the things you absolutely need to know about Czechs: we are obsessed with mushrooms. We cannot wait for the season, spend hours in the forest and share the photos of our trophies online. We even have Facebook groups, where we discuss the different varieties, where they grow, how to store them and use […]
RECIPES
We love eggless pasta from visiting Sardinia and southern Italy, where you can find it everywhere. They have a slightly different texture: they are a bit more chewy, which suits me perfectly. So we remembered a bit with this recipe.
Spring is in full swing and we have one seasonal recipe for hot weather. So it is dumplings stuffed with smoked meat! Haha.
Svíčková is definitely number one in Czech cuisine. Everybody has their own version and of course, every Czech grandma makes the best one (according to their families). We invited over our friend Milan who took care of the sound, so Jan is speaking in this video. Unfortunately, only in Czech, but this recipe is here […]
I just love rabbit meat. Unlike our friend Josef, whose mom (Máňa) has fed him rabbits she raises since he was a kid, so he hates it. Which makes us quite lucky, because Máňa always has some for us! Thank you very much and send greetings to Bratčice!
I got the inspiration for this recipe from Grant Achatz, who called it “truffle explosions.” The point is that the truffle flavour explodes in your mouth. And who wouldn’t like that, right? We have only one photo because we took it during our home cooking experience, but I’m sure you can forgive us.
This soup was a summer hit in Pavillon. It was on our tasting menu, and I also added a Bloody Mary sorbet as a special touch. That might be a little too much for home cooking, though, so I made it a little easier for the blog.
This season is simply great. Especially if you enjoy food. This carp was caught by Edita’s dad in a pond near their country house and the next day we had it on a plate. I bought a couple of beautiful tomatoes at a market place and also some dill just for a few crowns, during […]
When Jan recently declared he would make a zucchini soup, I wasn’t entirely convinced about the result. For me, it’s not really a classic soup ingredient. But I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised, it was a really light and lovely cream, just fantastic for hot summer days.
Everyone loves gnocchi!! I would say that it is a typical “comfort food” that will delight you any time. The potato skin made a part of dish as well. We use them as a crispy element so nothing gets wasted.
