In this refreshing approach to Polish cuisine, food writer and
blogger Ren Behan takes us on a journey to discover the new tastes
of her beloved culinary heritage. The food of eastern Europe, long
misunderstood in the West, is changing - the focus is swinging away
from heavy dumplings and stews towards lighter, healthier, fresh
and seasonal recipes, served in contemporary ways. In this
beautiful collection of recipes, Ren brings us the very best of the
Polish kitchen, inspired both by the food of her childhood and by
the new wave of flavours to be found in the trendy restaurants,
cafes and farmers markets of modern Poland. Alternative grains,
such as rye, spelt, buckwheat and millet make an appearance in
risottos, as do fresh fruit preserves and pickles, infused honeys,
seasonal and raw salads, light broths, delicious cakes and
flavoured liqueurs. No book on Polish food would be complete
without pierogi, the classic dumplings, and of course they are
here, with other substantial dishes such as meatballs, goulash and
cutlets, as you might expect, but you will also see them in a new
light - filled with strawberries and served with honey and
pistachios. Pink sauerkraut adorns vegan pastry rolls, ribs are
slowly-braised with honey and vodka, a fresh cucumber salad with
sour cream and dill sets off a homely dish of meatballs, and Polish
charcuterie sits atop the darkest rye bread. An evocative and
inspiring collection of recipes, which truly celebrates all the
good things the food of Poland has to offer, and which will leave
your mouth watering.
