Czech cooking is known for its hearty main courses and sweet desserts. These Czech cookbooks provide introductory looks into the world of Czech cuisine.

By Rick Rodgers. This book is both a guide to the coffee Houses of Central Europe and cookbook of 150 recipes that take you there straight from your kitchen. The desserts are beautifully photographed and the book contains plenty of narrative. So even if you aren't into cooking these sweets, you'll enjoy reading about them.8. In Memory's Kitchen: A Legacy from the Women of Terezin
By Cara De Silva. This book is not, per say, a cookbook in the way that we expect it to be. In fact, the "recipes" within were written from memory by women interred in the Terezin concentration camp. More a historical document than a cookbook, this book nonetheless offers evidence about the importance of recording and passing on traditional recipes in Czech culture.
