The Aroma of Czech Cuisine - Denise Mazal Resnerova - Bog

"With my cookbook, The Aroma of Czech Cuisine, I am proud to showcase the national Czech food, or as we call it, "Staroéceskâa kuchynée" (recipes of our grandmothers). Throughout the book, notes and mini stories accompany the recipes, unfolding a myriad of facts about Czech culture, recipe origins, folklore, history, and Czech influence in the United States. As the founder of Little Gretel, a Czech restaurant in Boerne, Texas, I am devoted to my craft and to putting smiles on the faces of anyone who takes a bite out of my delectable Kolaches. Since 2009, I have been serving the Boerne and surrounding communities by integrating my traditional Czech culinary skills into the wonderful Texas culture. All the recipes included in this book have been prepared and served in my restaurant for over a decade.
