If you love Polish food but want a more contemporary take on it, here’s a reinvention of Polis dishes by Zuza Zak. The cookbook has a comprehensive introduction that covers a brief history of pierogi, moving to a more technical part on how to cut, stuff, and seals them, which is an art in itself. There are several ways to make pierogi: boil, sauté and bake. There is a chapter on how to freeze pierogi,which is very convenient when trying to whip up a tasty dinner in minutes. There are different dough recipes forpierogi(butter, cream cheese, yeast, sour cream, egg-free, and wheat), each worth trying.The book’s last section is dedicated to sauces: basil cheese sauce, sour cream chive sauce, lemon sauce, strawberry sauce, and more. About the Author ✍️ Despite the numerous legends about the origins of pierogi, it is known that they were introduced in the United States at the onset of the Great Depression. Pierogiwere originally a family food among immigrants and was served in ethnic restaurants. The first documented sale of pierogi was in May 1928. By the 1960s, pierogihad become a common supermarket item in many parts of the United States and Canada. But nothing beats traditional, homemade pierogi, of course. Zak is a young writer who grew up in Poland and spent her childhood cooking traditional recipes with her mother in the kitchen and foraging for seasonal produce with her grandmother in the Polish countryside. Zuza calls herself a Storyteller Cook and aims to inspire the world to cook more food from Eastern Europe. In her books, she explores food as a cultural anthropologist in the context of society, culture, and identity. Zuza’s new cookbook tells the story of what Polish cooking is about. Zuza lives in London but spends much time in her homeland.

If you’re used to saying golabki instead of beef in cabbage rolls, you might not like it so much. But if you’re new to Polish cuisine, you might just like the way the authors explain Polish hospitality, traditions, and food in their book on Old Polish Traditions. I am truly inspired. This is not the old fashioned Polish cooking I grew up with but a modern progression of Polish cooking through the use of different combinations and spices, but not out in left-field. Zuza spent her childhood foraging for seasoal food in the Polish countryside with her grandmother. But she became a cultural anthropologist after completing her food-focussed PhD at the School of Slavonic and East European Studies.
