Baku Kitchen! An independent reference of traditional food

Czechia

Dumplings, roasts, and rich sauces built for beer; Czechs drink the world’s most pilsner. That is the short version of what the Czechia cooks. Look for Svíčková (beef in creamy root-vegetable sauce with bread dumplings, cranberry), Vepřo knedlo zelo (roast pork, bread dumplings, stewed cabbage; the Sunday trinity) and Pilsner (golden hopped lager born in Plzeň, 1842; the original pils). Beef in a sieved root vegetable cream sauce with cranberry and dumplings; nineteenth-century Czech national revival cookbooks fixed the recipe. This atlas has 36 Czechia dishes catalogued below, from everyday cooking to food kept for festivals and special occasions.
