Potato Bread Cakes

August 31, 2020September 5, 2020 ~ jarmilascooking ~ 1 Comment

I have been planning to make zemiakový posúch for quite a while. The idea came from Kathy - an American lady whose Slovak grandma used to make it with extra bread dough. Kathy gave a more detailed description of the cake, and it immediately reminded me of the potato posúch my mother-in-law had sent me … Continue reading Potato Bread Cakes

Potato Kugel

It was a crisp winter day and I stopped for a hot meal in a small, family-run restaurant that served some of the long-forgotten Slovak delights. Kyslá zemiaková polievka or Sour Potato Soup was one … Continue reading Slovak Sour Potato Soup

Potato Gratin the Slovak Style

September 21, 2015January 3, 2020 ~ jarmilascooking ~ 1 Comment

This particular dish could also be called 'a resourceful cook's lunch' or 'a lazy shopper's creation'. It is usually prompted by a situation like this: You look in the fridge at eleven o'clock on Saturday morning with the intention to cook a hot lunch for three people. All you find is: 3 free range eggs … Continue reading Potato Gratin the Slovak Style

Cookbooks

A Taste of Slovakia series is much more than a collection of traditional Slovak recipes. It's a colourful journey into this small country's culture, the customs that evolve around cooking and eating, as well as history of some typical ingredients. And for those who will delve deeper into the text, there is an added bonus ...

Awards

A Taste of Slovakia is proud to wear The Best in the World title from Gourmand International. The book came second in the Eastern Europe Category at the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards 2018 in Yantai, China.
