This is a great Czech Cookbook with a wide variety of recipes. The recipes I have tried so far have turned out well. It is a pleasure to make these 'old fashioned' foods from my childhood that taste so good and come with so many good memories. Book was delivered promptly and packaged well.

Being from a Czech/Polish family heritage, there are many recipes within the book that I can remember my Busia making almost the same way. If you want to keep your family heritage alive with your children, grandchildren or great-grandchildren, this book is excellent.

This is really a great cookbook. Many recipes are very similar to my mothers recipes. I couldn’t believe it. Enjoyed reading the history of poppyseed and the importance to the immigrants. This cookbook makes a wonder gift who is interested in Czech cuisine. Highly recommended.
