A new menu item...

As some of you may have noticed, my company has some what of a french twist to it. I studied French at the University of Utah and had the opportunity to live in both french speaking Switzerland and in France during my studies. But equal to my love of all things french, is my love of all things Czech. I lived in the Czech Republic for 18 months and grew to love the people, the traditions, and the výborné jídlo - wonderful food. I even managed to catch myself a Czech for a husband... And my darling mother-in-law has been gracious enough to share some of her very sweet recipes with me. I have decided to add one of these to my menu - Svatební koláče - or wedding kolaches.

Small, sweet breads filled with a cream cheese filling and rolled in a crumb topping. They are a favorite in our home. I am delighted each time I bake them as I watch my children stare in to the oven, eyes big, mouths watering, waiting for them to rise, my husband eagerly alongside them.
So, here's to a palate pleased by many cultures... Bon Appétit and Dobrou Chut'
