Editorial Review of The Best of Czech Cooking (Hippocrene International Cookbooks)
Now expanded with 3 new chapters on Pork, Mushrooms, and Drinks, this popular Hippocrene cookbook is better than ever. Czech cuisine emphasizes delicious soups, salads, dumplings, hearty meat dishes, vegetables and desserts, with recipes that rely on the subtle flavours of fresh ingredients. This new edition includes Vepro-knedlo-zelo -- a classic dish of pork, cabbage and dumplings; an informative chapter about gathering, storing and using wild mushrooms; and a section on apertifis, wine and beers, including the world-famous Czech Pilsner Urquell beer.
Customer Reviews of The Best of Czech Cooking (Hippocrene International Cookbooks)
Customer Rating:
Review Summary: The new and expanded edition of an ethnic culinary classic
Review: This new and expanded edition of an ethnic culinary classic provides a solid and important introduction to a cuisine which all too rarely receives its own book outside of general European cooking. Three new chapters to this edition of Peter Trnka's Best Of Czech Cooking add focus on pork, mushrooms and drinks, while the remainder is filled with Czech basics. No photos, but the recipes are easy enough without them.
Customer Rating:
Review Summary: Real Czech cooking without pork? Unimaginable!
Review: The major handicap of this book is the almost complete lack of pork dishes, so typical and essential in Bohemian and Moravian cooking. More or less authentic Czech sausages and hams may be hard to come by in the US, but is there a shortage of pork meat? So, the book misses a major part of the better dishes that Czech cooking has to offer. I would advise the editors of Hippocrene Books to check the subjects in their publications a little bit more carefully.
