Really important for the picture of Czech cuisine as we know it today was the period of Austria-Hungary. During that time, dishes arriving from surrounding areas became domesticated. The influence of German and Austro-Hungarian cuisine, which was itself a mix of many cultures and traditions, was evident. Goulash, Hungarian sausages and pepper stew from Hungary, beef broth with liver dumplings and schnitzel from Austria, and sausages, roasted pork knee, and fruit dumplings from Bavaria. Influences of Bavarian cuisine were already present here long before the Habsburg Empire. Therefore, it is difficult to assess which dishes are purely Czech; a more precise term might be Central European.

A significant figure for the further development of Czech cuisine is Magdalena Dobromila Rettigová, whose cookbook published in 1826 essentially established the image of today's Czech cuisine.

What sets Czech cuisine apart?

It is characterized by thicker soups with roux and many types of sauces with braised meat, both with a base of cooked or braised vegetables, often with cream, and roasted meats with natural sauces. Also by many types of cakes and pastries. Mushroom foraging is also widespread in the Czech Republic, and mushrooms are a relatively common ingredient in dishes. A typical Czech menu usually consists of two or more courses - traditionally starting with soup, followed by the main course, and complemented by dessert, compote, or vegetable salad.

I was lucky to travel a lot as a kid, Soon I realized my passion for traveling and the need to travel regularly. My biggest wish was always to live somewhere by sea.⛱️ Later, I moved to Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, and spent there 5 years. During my last year in the Czech Republic, I spent over 3 months living in the UK as well. After that I really wanted to finally create my dream reality and move somewhere sunny. So, I did! Currently I live in Malta, a tiny island in the middle of the Mediterranean with lovely 300 sunny days per year!☀️ So far, I visited over 20 European countries and looking for more.
