Immigrant Foodways: Czech Christmas menu: Pea soup and schnitzel with potato salad
<p>This holiday season, learn how to make a traditional Czech meal and lots of desserts from Czech-born Chef Tom Slepicka. Join us for our first Czech and Slovak Christmas Cooking and Baking Series, and enjoy a premier cooking class from the comfort of your home.</p><p>Let’s celebrate with this traditional Czech Christmas pea soup and the little bit more modern Czech Christmas meal, Schnitzel with Homemade Potato Salad.</p><p>Pea soup is one of the most traditional Christmas meals in the Czech Republic. The current practice calls for it to be served as an appetizer before a main course. Schnitzel originated in Italy and by the mid-19th century got to Vienna, the capital of the Austrian Empire. The Viennese removed the traditional use of Parmesan and made a few other changes to the original recipe, and the traditional Viennese schnitzel was born. Because the Czech and Slovak Republics were once part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, this dish remains popular in the Czech Republic’s culinary culture. The Czech name for this meal is “Řízek”, and is commonly prepared from chicken, pork, or veal.</p><p>As a side dish, we are going to prepare Czech potato salad totally from scratch.</p><p>Note: Suitable for vegetarians – simply replace the schnitzel with fried cheese. This class is 3.5 hours long.</p><p>Slepicka graduated from culinary school in his hometown, Brno, located in the Czech Republic. While still in school, he established a successful full-service catering company which operated in the Czech Republic, Slovak Republic, and Austria. Slepicka moved to the U.S. with his wife in 2014. From 2015-16, he operated the Czech Deli at the NewBo City Market. The goal of his courses is to make tasty and high-quality meals accessible to everyone. </p> 2020-11-23 18:00:00 -060012/05/202:30 p.m.National Czech & Slovak Museum & LibraryCedar Rapids -

An Evening with Heather Gudenkauf and Kimberly Stuart
<p>Join Swamp Fox Bookstore on Monday, November 30 at 7 pm Central for <em><strong>free virtual event</strong></em> with authors Heather Gudenkauf and Kimberly Stuart.</p><p><a href="https://www.crowdcast.io/e/swamp-fox-bookstore-heather-kimberly">Register Now</a></p><p><strong><u>About Heather Gudenkauf</u></strong></p><p>Heather Gudenkauf is the Edgar Award nominated, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of eight novels including The Weight of Silence, Not A Sound and This Is How I Lied. She lives in Iowa with her husband and a very spoiled German shorthaired pointer named Lolo. Heather is currently working on her next novel.<br><strong><u>About Kimberly Stuart</u></strong></p><p>Kimberly Stuart grew up in Des Moines, Iowa, where she learned to be snobbish about corn on the cob and good storytelling. She earned degrees at St. Olaf College and the University of Iowa, both fine institutions that did very little to prepare her for the lethal cocktail of parenting and writing.</p><p>Stuart is the author of eight novels, including the Heidi Elliott series, <em>Sugar</em> (Skyhorse Publishing, 2017) and her most recent book, <em>Heart Land </em>(Howard/Simon & Schuster, 2018). Her books have been featured in <em>Cosmopolitan</em>, Huff Post, and <em>Chicago Sun-Times</em>. They have been carried by Wal-Mart, Target, Barnes & Noble, and booksellers nationwide. Stuart has a passion to write chemistry-driven, smart, character-rich romance that requires a reader neither to leave her brain at the door nor to visit a confessional after turning the last page.</p><p>Stuart has made her home in Minneapolis, Houston, Chicago, Costa Rica, Nebraska, and Iowa, where she now lives with her brave husband and three wily children.</p><p>Find Stuart on Facebook, Instagram (kimberly.stuart.writes), and at kimberlystuart.com.</p> 2020-11-10 20:00:00 -0600

Immigrant Foodways: Vánočka
<p>This holiday season, learn how to make a traditional Czech meal and lots of desserts from Czech-born Chef Tom Slepicka. Join us for our first Czech and Slovak Christmas Cooking and Baking Series, and enjoy a premier cooking class from the comfort of your home.</p><p>Vánočka is often called “Houska” in the USA. The name “vánočka” comes from “Vánoce”, which means Christmas in Czech. It is a scrumptious sweet bread with raisins and almonds which is very common to serve on Christmas morning in the Czech Republic. (Remember, Christmas morning in the Czech Republic is December 24.) It can be served plain, with butter, or with butter and preserves/jam. Because it is very delicious, people buy it in the Czech Republic all year long.</p><p>Note: Suitable for vegetarians</p><p>Slepicka graduated from culinary school in his hometown, Brno, located in the Czech Republic. While still in school, he established a successful full-service catering company which operated in the Czech Republic, Slovak Republic, and Austria. Slepicka moved to the U.S. with his wife in 2014. From 2015-16, he operated the Czech Deli at the NewBo City Market. The goal of his courses is to make tasty and high-quality meals accessible to everyone.</p> 2020-11-23 17:00:00 -060012/12/202:30 p.m.National Czech & Slovak Museum & LibraryCedar Rapids -
