Polish Cooking

Description

Contained in four chapters is a story about the history and traditions of the Polish cuisine supported by numerous recipes. A culinary tour of Poland proves to be full of surprises, for the wealth and diversity of Polish cuisine is encountered in every one of the country's regions. Traditional breads and cold meats, preserves home-made from fruit and vegetables, excellent honeys, and a range of dishes made from grits and potatoes not to be met with anywhere else. And to top all those off, another Polish specialty—one or other of the exquisite fruit liqueurs. So all that it remains for us to do is to wish you a very sincere Bon Appétit! Chapters: 1.
