The new world was a strange and wonderful place for a small girl named Caroline Rozgaj back in 1914. It was in that year that she journeyed from Croatia to America and settled with her family in a small town called Sugar Creek. While there was much to learn in this new country, there were things never to be forgotten. Traditions. Carried from the old country. And brought to life in the music. The dances. And the very meals that filled their family table. It was here that the young girl came of age, learning to bake the traditional walnut and cheese-filled povitica breads. And it was here that she met a young man named Michael Kobe. In the year 1927, she took his name. Michael and Caroline Kobe began their life together, building a new home on the outskirts of town. Here, the laughter of children and the rich aroma of warm povitica filled the air. As in her mother’s house, Caroline passed along to her children the traditions she had learned years before. Many years have passed. Much has changed. But the tradition remains. Step inside the Kobe House and you can still smell the rich aroma of warm povitica, fresh from the oven. Hand-made by Caroline’s children along with strudel and other Croatian favorites. In the same tradition. In the same house where Caroline raised them. The Kobe House.
