From A Polish Country House Kitchen

Description

In My Polish Country House Kitchen is a beautifully written cookbook that explores the fall of Communism and its wide-ranging culinary and cultural effects through the lens of food. This is not the discovery of a trend, but rather the rediscover of something that was always there. The book contains 90 recipes and evocative headnotes that paint a picture of Polish country life that expands a reader's understanding of Polish history, foodways and culture.

Reviews

This is a lovely collection of Polish cooking. The illustrations are beautiful, the recipes authentic yet easy to produce and the stories that accompany many of the recipes provide interesting insights into the Polish cuisine.

"This is Polish food for the modern palate: All of the flavors you would expect-sour pickles, tart beets, flavorsome game, bittersweet poppy seed-but lighter, fresher, and easier than ever before." - Nigella Lawson
