Czech cuisine: Introduction


If you are unfamiliar with Czech cuisine, here's a quick primer. The traditional Czech recipes normally consist of hearty meat with potatoes or dumplings. Most meat dishes are slow cooked by roasting them for several hours. This ensures the meat is just tender but moist and juicy as well.


Czechs are known for their expertise in baking and her love of desserts. Many of the traditional desserts are served as part of a meal, which means it does not cost anything more. Generally, you pay a lot for an authentic Czech style meal. Many of the recommended restaurants often serve a full course meal for less than $ 12.
