God is a Pickle looks at how a humble kitchen ritual became a defining thread in the fabric of Czech life. In a country hardened by scarcity, where faith waned but traditions endured, preserving the harvest became an act of resilience and a way of staying connected to land and memory. Structured around the passage of seasons, the book offers over 100 recipes that move seamlessly between preservation and preparation, from the jar to the plate, tracing a cultural logic in which nothing is wasted, least of all meaning. At its heart, God is a Pickle celebrates what lasts; it is a book about what we choose to carry forward, through habit, care, and sometimes, a spoonful of something sour.
