From pub to pub

The author of the bestseller Postel hospoda kostel (Bed, Pub, Church), a book which won the Kosmas Readers' Award at the Magnesia Litera, interviews a beloved Czech chef.

Jaroslav Sapík has always lived life to the fullest and taken many risks. He gets his rebellious streak from his grandfather, his tough-as-nails attitude from his mother, and his philanthropy from his grandmother. He admits he’s under the thumb, but he wouldn't change a thing. How did he choose his wife and what's his recipe for a happy marriage? What makes a good pub and which customer is his favourite? Who does he dislike the most and where is he happiest? Why do his colleagues in the industry badmouth him and who does he envy the most?

The book Od hospody k hospodě (From Pub to Pub) will give you a glimpse into the private life of a man who never loses his sense of humour and isn't afraid to use colourful language. You'll discover his retrospective view of the socialist era and the time after, what's most important to him in interpersonal relationships and business, and even what the publican's ten commandments are.

Of course, at the end of the book, you will also find recipes and photographs of the dishes Jarda cooked especially for this occasion. He chose them carefully over a long period, leaving only his absolute favourites.
