    My family was very close to the Raceks and especially Nadine. I remember sitting in that kitchen and watching her make kolaches. When she passed there was a hole left in the entire Czech community. We miss her dearly. Seeing this video brings a smile to my face. Thank you for sharing her story.

    What an inspiration 😊.....very cool that she's never advertised. That goes to show-when you have something special, word of mouth is the BEST advertisement! Well done, Mrs. Racek. But someday...you gotta give up that recipe or it'll be lost forever! And that would be such a tragedy!!!!!

    Just saw this video now ( 2023). Such a sweet lady and her Kolache looks so wonderful! But I hope she will or did leave the recipe with her grandchildren. It truly would be sad if she didn't.

      This is 2024 was wondering about if she had. I just learned about Kolache’s here they are just called cheese danish. I heard about Kolache’s as I was investigating Kringle’s. Now I have aced both! Too bad she did not reveal her recipe, but from what I have seen, I pretty much have it covered as well. I had to make up my recipe as too! They are sooo good. I have gone on to make Klobasneks now! I truly hope she passed down her recipe it would be a shame if she did not! Rest in Peace!

    She makes the traditional with yeast. We say kolach key.
    There is wonderful treatment if you go to a physical therapist who has ( I don’t know the name) but you put you hand in warm vibrating sand and they message the hand. That is soooooooo soothing.
    Someone should gift her with a kitchen aid mixer. Strong enough to knead the dough.

    • @zzydny
      @zzydny 4 роки тому +4

      Sometimes there is a reason for not sharing the recipes. I don't share my mother's bread recipe (which she created in 1945) or the recipe for my great grandmother's yeast rolls (which she made back in the 1890's) for the simple reason that no one in my family cares except me (and I still make those recipes all the time). If anyone showed the least interest, I'd spend every amount of effort on teaching them so that the recipes and the family stories would live on (I know interesting stuff about our ancestors all the way back to to mid-1700's). As it is, all that information and the recipes will probably die with me. I would prefer that it did not but you can't push people to take what they don't want and you can't make them visit with a relative they would rather ignore. If you've got an old auntie that no one cares about, take the time to get to know her; it would do you both the world of good.

I feel sad for her Children and Grandchildren that their Grandmother was a Silly Selfish Old Woman!!! not leaving her supposedly Amazing Recipe!! Behind To her Loved ones !!!!

      I am sorry to hear of her passing, but I agree, selfish not even sharing her recipe with her grandchildren, that would carry on her legacy? Maybe she feared someone, even a relative taking her business away? Hope she shared it in the end..

    So, she wouldn't even share her recipe with her own family? One trusted person? I understand wanting to her to keep her recipe to herself but the problem is since this video waa made many years ago...this lady has probably passed away and if she refused to share her recipe with anyone, her kolaches die with her...and honestly thats a shame since these kolaches seemed great and were part of her legacy.
    Hopefully she left her recipe with someone she trusted

    Not sharing (the recipe), lol, like you can't get a good one on the internet. Kinda selfish on her part. Guess the recipe will go with her. Not much of a legacy left behind to her kids.
