Jiri Lonsky Jan 27, 2016:
I apologize I just entered my answer - and only now I have looked at the discussion, to find out that Isabel suggested the very same solution here earlier. The points should go to Isabel...
Isabel Stainsby Jan 26, 2016:
So: 'they put a bun in the oven there' keeps the culinary theme. More crudely, you could go for 'he knocked her up there' or 'he got her up the duff there'. I'm sure there are other options...
Alice Hegrova Jan 26, 2016:
Definitely agree with englishpartner and Isabel. "They conceived their child there."
Stuart Hoskins Jan 26, 2016:
agree - conception “I když se zpožděním pár let. Jak se asi bude tvářit, až se doví, že v jediné bláznivé společné noci si ukuchtil malýho drobka. Unese to? Jak se zachová? Vždyť on sám v té době byl téměř dítětem.”

That really does make it sound like englishpartner's theory is correct and they're talking about where they conceived their child!
Tomas Mosler, DipTrans IoLET MCIL MITI Jan 26, 2016:
I bet "Ukuchtit" won't mean "leave" or "abandon" here.
Monika Conkova (X) (asker) Jan 26, 2016:
Thank you for your quick response! They are talking about going to some place where they "ukuchtili malýho" en then they went to visit other cities. Can it be something like: "They left their child there"?
Isabel Stainsby Jan 26, 2016:
In which case, something like 'they put a bun in the oven there'?
Roni_S Jan 26, 2016:
Without any context this actually sounds like a reference to getting someone pregnant

Given by seznam.cz - no idea if this fits the context though. Can you give us more details?

(they) put the bun in the oven

The answers so far are not really suitable. I offer a derivative phrase from the colloquial "to have a bun in the oven" = "to be pregnant", as it has also association to cooking the way the source word "ukuchtit" does.
Peer comment(s):
disagree Lenka Červená : Sounds really coarse.

Oh, yes, and "ukuchtili tam malýho" sounds really genteel, now, doesn't it?

whipped up

"They whipped up the li'l one there."

Does it sound fitting for a native speaker of English?
Peer comment(s):
disagree Roni_S : I can't imagine that any native English speaker would associate 'whip up' with conceiving a child
