"One of my favorite cookies of all time, these are fabulous warm from oven, but also keep well in an airtight container. My Hungarian/Austrian Grandmom called these "Butterhorns", an aunt on the other side called her version "Schnecken" and I have seen versions of this also under "Rugelach" or "Rululach". It really..."

Ingredients: cinnamon, cream cheese...

"Grandma keeps her Wiener schnitzel recipe a closely guarded secret. Unfortunately for her, it's not that hard to figure out. Anyway, it's a really easy and delicious way to prepare chicken or turkey breasts, or even the traditional veal. My husband demands I make it more than I can stand eating it."

Ingredients: cooking oil, turkey cutlets...

"These cookies are absolutely beautiful. You can actually use whatever kind of preserves you wish, but make sure that they are PRESERVES. You will love the look of these beautiful cookies! Prep time doesn't include chill time. Cook time is for one batch."

"This dip is SO EASY and so versatile that you will wonder how you have ever been without it. With only four relatively cheap ingredients it is perfect for both snack time and for entertaining. Feel free to add or reduce any of the ingredients to your liking as it will probably take you a few tries to find the way you like the best. But there is a %100..."

Ingredients: mayonnaise, garlic cloves...

"This recipe came from Czechoslovakia with my grandma and her family. I have been eating it forever and have passed it on to my family, as well. (This can all be adjusted for more or less, I usually triple it...for lots!)"

Ingredients: eggs, onions, potatoes...

"This is a traditional polish side salad. Its usually served with chicken or pork escalopes but its delicious served with gulash or any other meat dish. Also it makes a cooling and refreshing end to any spicy dish.
For a low fat version replace the sour cream with fat free greek yoghurt and you will get an equally delicious salad."

Ingredients: cucumbers, dill, lemon juice...

"This is an old Czech recipe for Poppy Seed Cake that was given to me by a dear friend's Czech grandmother."

"This recipe makes a dense, sweet cake. As the name "Pound Cake" implies, the recipe calls for a "pound" each of butter, eggs, sugar, and flour. This recipe was given to me by my Czech Grandmother."

"This is from the Ellis Island Immigrant Cookbook."

Ingredients: egg whites, egg yolks...

"This has been a family favorite for many, many, years, I usually make a double batch to ensure having them around for more than a day! The recipe comes from the now defunct Country Cooking magazine in an article on Czechoslovakian cooking. I grind my almonds in my Cuisinart and mix the recipe up in it also, but a mixer will also work fine. (I guessed..."

Ingredients: powdered sugar, salt...

"My Grandma would make these every year at Christmas - we called them "pillow cookies" because they puff up when they bake. Now that my Grandma is gone, I use the Springerle rolling pin she always used--what a wonderful way to remember her!"

"The vanocka is part of the Christmas holidays in Czechoslovakia, whether made at home or bought in a store. At one time in history, vánoèka could only be made by a baker who was a guild craftsman.
Preparing a vanocka isn't simple and therefore a variety of customs were once followed in preparing, braiding and baking the dough..."

Ingredients: compressed yeast cakes, light raisins...

"This is a traditional Bohemian pastry recipe handed down from my wife's much beloved Bohemian grandmother who took joy in watching her family eat. It seems like it isn't a real family get-together without kolaches and it also seems like there are never enough made. If you don't like prunes, any fruit filling will work very, very well."

Ingredients: cinnamon, egg yolks, milk...

"Otherwise known in English as "egg cheese". This is from my MIL who has Czech heritage. She makes this every Easter. She slices it and serves it at room temp with ham. *I* like it when it's chilled and I slice it and put it on a sandwich w/ cold leftover ham slices. It's a soft, solid custard. Servings are a guess. Prep time..."
