Synopsis
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.
The over 100 easy-to-follow recipes are all adapted for the modern North American kitchen. Lovely illustrations and pearls of practical wisdom ("Household Hints") from the old Polish kitchen marvelously complement this book.

March 31, 2002: After years of searching for a great Polish cookbook, I am so happy to have purchased this one. I just adore it. I love the historical background given for each recipe and explanation of why they cook the things they do. A beautiful reminder of my grandmother who cooked excellent Polish food for me as a child. Bought this just in time for Easter and made the Babka, pierogies and boiled eggs the way the Poles do. Its a beautiful culture and I am happy to be a Polish-American.
