My father was Polish. My mother wasn’t and we ate almost no Polish food in my house. Even so, I joined a Polish recipe group on Facebook and when I this book was offered to me, I knew I wanted to review it.

This book is full of recipes to intrigue Polish cooks and wannabes. The author explains that she had moved to Prague from the Boston area and was in search of a good half-sour pickle. (I know the problem, myself. My father’s and my favorite kind of pickle is hard to find where I live now.) She was advised to go to Poland and while there she fell in love with their baking.

With these Chapters, there must be several recipes that you’ll want to try:
Chleb: Breads, Rolls, & Bagels
Drozdze: Yeasted Buns & Breads
Ciastka: Slab Cakes, Layer Cakes & Bundts
Ciasteczka: Cookies, Small-Bites & Wafers
Ptysie, Bezy & Serniki: Meringues & Cheesecakes
Extras: Fillings, Creams, & Toppings

I know there are quite a few recipes that I want to try. And the gorgeous photos make everything look so delicious. The problem will be where to start. And yes, I will be telling people in my Polish recipe group about this book.
