One of the most interesting culinary adventures of the year begins right at Tři krále. First, it covers us with killings and Mardi Gras, after which, day by day, it passes into a six-week pre-spring meatless fast, which ends with an Easter celebration of spring. Seasons with meat and without meat alternate in the kitchen, old stock with a new harvest, exuberant celebrations with modest days. The story of the passing winter is neither faded nor boring, but it is replete with a varied supply of winter ingredients, simple recipes and interesting traditions.
