Quality Czech Mushroom Recipes

Mushroom hunting in the old countries was, and still is, a very popular pass time activity. When Czech and Slovak immigrants came to America, they naturally searched the woodlands for mushrooms.

The recipes in this little book–collected from members of the National Czech & Slovak Museum & Library in Cedar Rapids, Iowa–reflect the immigrants’ culinary traditions incorporating mushrooms. The book contains appetizers, main entrees, soups, salads, egg dishes, sauces, and spreads. Many are old-fashioned recipes cherished by immigrants; others have been adapted to the New World.
