Fasiangy - Svätý Kríž (Video)

Today's Slovak Fašiangy celebration tribute takes us to Svätý Kríž  in‎ Liptovský Mikuláš (County), Žilina Region, Slovakia. The merriment includes chlebíčky (sandwiches), grilled smoked sausages, music and even a dancing nun!

It's not Fasiangy without Sišky (Slovak Donuts)

Sišky or pampúchy (Slovak donuts) are commonly served during Slovak carnival or Mardi Gras celebrations. Here's a recipe from our friend, Lubos Brieda's Slovak cooking blog. It also includes the Slovak fairy tale (rozprávka) which tells the story of a small pampúch, pampúšik.  Enjoy the story and recipe here: http://www.slovakcooking.com/2011/recipes/homemade-donuts-sisky/

Homemade Slovak Noodles

Keep it thin, floured and use a sharp knife!

Yesterday I journeyed back in time when our Babas (grandmothers) rose early to make sure the daily chores were done ....and here's one reason why, "to make homemade noodles." I now have an appreciation for their labor of love and would like to share this video which is closest to the recipe I used.

Interested in learning from the experts? Why not plan a Slovak cooking tour excursion? Contact us at SEEP sro for more details.

Here's another link to a Slovak cooking website for a variation of noodle recipe plus many more.
