Knedlicki
Strawberries, apricots, plums... summer stone fruit. In the Czech republic these sorts of fruit are also enjoyed as dumplings. The fruit is rolled into a dough (either a plain milk, egg and flour dough, or one made with yeast or even cream cheese) to form a golf-ball sized round. These are then dropped into boiling water to cook. When they rise to the surface they are scooped out, drained and served with one of the following toppings - fried breadcrumbs, grated quark (a German-style fresh curd cheese which in this case has been dried before grating) or cinnamon.

Toasting spices
Toasting whole spices in a dry pan can help to bring out the essential oils and the flavour in the spice, however be careful to taste as you add the spice to your dish as the flavour will have changed and you may need less. Toasting pre-ground spices is a little trickier and it can ruin the flavour of the spice altogether.
