I really appreciate the intent behind this blog!
It is great for us who have been away from the Czech republic for so long to have a way to reconnect a bit through this site.
The name is great too. Czechmate. Checkmate? Check-it-out mate!
good recipes - i am a baker by trade and would love to add some czech breads to my list (obviously have a czech background by my last name). which would you pick as best of the best?
Hi Mr. Vesely,
It’s funny that you say that since I have had just the hardest time with finding a good Czech bread recipe!! I finally just gave up…for now. I would definitely love to hear some tips from you though - the professional! What Czech baking goods is your specialty??
I went to Praha in 2007 and loved it. I came across this site because i wanted to find out what city the bone church is in. There was also a gigantic church near the bone church, but they didn’t let the public take pictures inside. I could just remember these big angel statues on each side that looked down into the main seating area. What kind of church was it? What was the name of the city its in?
Oh ya, and all the woman there are beautiful.
Hi Andy,
It may have been the church of St. Barbara (on the top of the city) or the “Monastic Church of The Assumption of Our Lady” (I know, a long name). That church is close to the Bone church. Kutna Hora is definitely one of my favorite Czech towns; it’s beautiful, inexpensive and - compared to Prague - with very few tourists

Ahoj Dino,
Dik!
Atlanta has a Czech restaurant called “PRague in motion” (google it for directions, it comes up first) and a Slovak restaurant called “Stefan off the Square”. I haven’t been to any of them - yet - so I can’t tell you how the “knedlicky” taste like there but I am sure it’s good! Let me know!
But if you sign up to this blog via e-mail you get a e-book which has - among other amazing things - also a list of Czech restaurants all over the US (and Canada and Australia AND New Zealand)!!
