Kolache! Ever wonder about that baked bread and fruity smell wafting from your grandmother’s kitchen or the local church or farmer’s market? You’re in luck. Your neighborhood is either a community featuring Czech immigrant heritage, or there are Czech immigrant descendants—or people who so thoroughly enjoy this culture and cuisine that they’re taking part in it.

Let’s start with the pronunciation, which is “ko-lah-chee.” Kolaches are made of yeast dough and are usually filled with fruit, sometimes cheese. In this installment of GeneFoods, we will explore the history of the Czech immigrants who traveled a long, hard road—but persisted in settling down in the United States, bringing with them the recipes to recreate their heritage.
