Festive meals

Christmas dinner wouldn’t be the same without Carp and potato salad. Another integral part of the Czech Christmas celebrations are Christmas cookies. Some of the ever-presents on Czech Christmas tables are honey gingerbread (medové perníčky) decorated with icing, vanilla rolls, Linz pastry and Christmas loaf (vánočka) with raisins. Baked sweet dishes at Easter reflect Christian symbols: Lamb shaped sponge cake are baked in special moulds and other types of cakes and doughnuts are also prepared.
