Chicken Paprikash

February 27, 2021February 27, 2021 ~ jarmilascooking ~ Leave a comment

A recent email from an American lady with Slovak roots reminded me of another dish my paternal grandma used to make. She lived in the south of Slovakia, in a small settlement close to the Hungarian border where people still spoke a local Hungarian dialect. Her cooking, too, was Hungarian-oriented and I remember that a … Continue reading Chicken Paprikash

What food can teach us about our history

March 20, 2020March 20, 2020 ~ jarmilascooking ~ Leave a comment

Would you say that you can actually learn a lot of history while researching old recipes and exploring traditional ingredients? When I was setting about writing my first cookbook, I didn't know what a fascinating journey it would be, and how much I would learn along the way. History was never my choice at school. … Continue reading What food can teach us about our history

I had found this little paradise in the heart of Slovakia by chance, or more accurately, it had found me. Monique and Dion, the Dutch couple behind this innovative project, contacted me after they'd bought A … Continue reading A day in paradise

Looking back at 2016

December 31, 2016April 7, 2020 ~ jarmilascooking ~ Leave a comment

There are events in our calendar that will repeat themselves with unfailing regularity year after year, though no two of them will ever feel the same. Silvester, which is what 31st December is named in the Slovak calendar, is no exception. No matter how many Silvesters I've lived through, the end of year never ceases to … Continue reading Looking back at 2016

A Taste of Slovakia

October 5, 2016April 4, 2020 ~ jarmilascooking ~ 7 Comments

It was born - at long last! The book I've been struggling to publish for so long has finally seen the light of day. I'm quite good at containing my emotions (either positive or negative), and I'm certainly not the one that would dance with her book around the flat taking selfies and posting them … Continue reading A Taste of Slovakia

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.
