The Polish Country Kitchen Cookbook
Written by Sophie Hodorowicz Knab

From top-selling author Sophie Hodorowicz Knab comes a new book that combines recipes for favorite Polish foods with the history and cultural traditions that created them. Arranged according to the cycle of seasons, this cookbook explores life in the Polish countryside through the year. The Polish Country Kitchen Cookbook gives its readers priceless historical information such as the type of utensils used in Poland at the turn of the century, the meaning behind the Pascal butter lamb, and many other insightful answers to common questions asked by descendants of Polish immigrants.

Included are over 100 easy-to-follow recipes adapted for the modern North American kitchen, such as "Potato Pancakes with Chives," "Apple Fritters," "White Barszcz," and "Cucumber Soup". Lovely woodcut illustrations and pearls of practical wisdom ("Household Hints") from the old Polish kitchen will delight readers.
