Summary

The Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist explores Poland’s vibrant and modern culinary life in this beautifully photographed cookbook with 90+ recipes. 
 
For too many people, the term “Polish cooking” conjures to mind heavy, greasy, flavorless food. But historian and journalist Anne Applebaum, who has lived in the country since before the fall of Communism, knows better. With recipes inspired by her home in the Polish countryside, Anne sets the record straight about this fresh and delightful cuisine.  
 
From a Polish Country House Kitchen offers a tantalizing look at Poland’s cultural heritage, turbulent history, and culinary rejuvenation. With recipes including Caviar and Blini, Steak Tartare, Zupa Gryzbowa, Trout with Lemon Cream Sauce, as well as pierogis, pancakes, latkes, and desserts, Anne shares the sustaining foods of her Polish country home with home cooks the world over.

    <p?Gingerbread is a lovely, squidgy treat which has played a part in almost everyone's childhood. But do you know what gingerbread was made of when it first arrived on our plates; was it flavoured with honey? When did treacle,  dark, sticky, and on its own, fairly strong tasting, which adds moisture, depth of flavour and character to baking, first become available? Then there's the question of when gingerbread migrated from the home kitchen to commercial products. And why did the gingerbread man leap from the tin, and run so fast with a fox snapping at his heels?
    With 100 colour photographs by the author and from historical sources, and 150 recipes for traditional gingerbreads, biscuits, cakes and savoury dishes, this is a unique book.
