Svíčková na Smetaně

I took a cooking class specifically to learn how to make Svíčková na Smetaně correctly.

The subtly tangy from pickles profile should be consistent but interpretation differs widely. bread dumpli…

I spent three months trying every version of Svíčková na Smetaně I could find locally. The variation in quality is extraordinary.
