  1. You need a larger and sharper knife so your not sawing through the onions. I’m 100% Czech and my Mom just died and she didn’t leave us any recipes. You are my recipes I never got. Thanx ❤️❤️❤️

  2. Such a comforting channel. My grandmother was Czech and my grandfather German, so we made a dish similar. I wish you would try it. I haven't seen anything close anywhere. We take a rack of st louis ribs, puree a head of garlic with a little salt, use one head of garlic per rack of ribs, spread the puree all over the ribs and marinate overnite covered. The next day smoke the ribs for 4-5 hours. You can then freeze them or use right away. You then boil them in water for 45 min to an hour till tender, then take them out and make your dumplings, which we make drop dumplings, and place in the pork broth. The dumplings take on the smoky flavor and everyone that tries these said they never tasted anything sooo good. You could of course skip the smoking, but it would not be the same flavor. My sister usually smokes about 17 racks of ribs so she always has ribs in the freezer ready to boil.

  3. My mom made this a lot while I was growing up. It is just delicious! I don't remember her or my grandma putting sugar in the sauerkraut, but I will try your way. I remember going to the Czech restaurant in Brookfield Il when I was a kid. I no longer live there, but now I don't have to travel there for this meal. I'll try making it myself. My mom also made it with roast duck. I am 86 percent Eastern European so that is my excuse for loving this meal.

  4. I grew up eating pork dumplings and sauerkraut when my mom had dinner parties. I'm excited to make it for my children …it is a delicious treat for me a v 8m sure my kids will love it too. Thank you for sharing the recipe. I couldn't find my mother's but I
    Pretty sure it's the same S my mom's

  5. Thank you! I'm making this tonight. A lot of family recipes died with my grandma. She didn't write anything down and we've struggled to remember what she taught us. You're recipes are so close to hers. Again…THANK YOU. Now I'm going to hunt down a plumb dumpling recipe.

  6. Fabulous! I just made this and I plan to make i regularly! Thank You so much! My grandparents, aunts & uncles were Czech and they passed on without leaving their recipes, so this reminds me of them and good food and memories.

  7. i'm not sure my Spanish husband would appreciate all this delicious Czech cooking that I grew up with…my dad's family, the Cerny's were from Pilsen and my mother, who was Austrian, learned to cook Czech meals…thank you for sharing your recipes, so glad I found your Youtube page.

  8. Dekuju vam moc. I'm an American of 100% Czech heritage (50% Bohemian, 50% Moravian). I've eaten Czech style food all of my life. I just found your channel and have subscribed. You know, everyone is different. I love pork and I love garlic, but I don't like garlic on pork – it belongs on beef. I have been to Czechoslovakia (yes, back then). Velmi je teshi ze vas posnavam. (Sorry, I don't have a Czech keyboard, and YouTube doesn't allow ASCII characters.)

  9. YummmmEEEEE. So I was watching a lost episode of The Honeymooners, its a New Years Eve Episode and this is what they had cooked. It sounded good so I decided to pause it and look it up. This was the first video that came up on google and it sounds delish. Next paycheck I will be going to get the ingredients and am going to try this out. Normally I put a little Cajun Seasoning on everything but I think this time Im going to cook it like its suppose to and try something different.

  10. V tom zelí je moc vody!!! Voda musí být před dokončením téměř odpařená. Tento recept by se dal spíše nazvat "Moravský vrabec". Klasická vepřová se peče v celku a následně se krájí na plátky. Jinak velice slušně provedené :))

    At that cabbage is too much water !!! The water must be vaporised prior to completion almost. This recipe could be rather called "Moravian sparrow". Classic pork is baked whole and then sliced. Otherwise very decently done :))

  11. This is what everyone in my family requests for birthday dinner. I had no idea it was so popular in Czech Republic. I grew up calling in Knedliky and Zelly. Thank you so much for your channel. Could you possibly slow down when saying the Czech words? My american ear can't catch the pronunciation that quickly. And you gave a shout out to Nebraska and Texas, Google Cedar Rapids (we have a museum). I can't wait to impress my family with all these wonderful recipes.

  12. YUMMY! I am American and moved to the Czech Republic in September. I am just beginning to learn Czech and I love watching your videos to learn how to make the delicious food that I see everyday!
