Treasured Polish Recipes for Americans

Summary: A must have for any lover of great foods!
Review: My Italian mother-in-law gave me this as a gift, knowing of my heritage. I picked up my own copy at Piekutowski's European Style Sausage (the BEST Krawkow and Jewish Rye in the St. Louis area), a place I have been going since a small child. .

With recipes as varied as Czarnina, Bigos, the ever-beloved Pierogi, and Ciastka z Bakaliami (Fruit Rocks), this book has been a priceless resource; giving insight into not only the hows of traditional Polish cooking, but the underlying whys of various cultural influences. It also provides a unique insight into the ties between food and religion from basically Polish/Catholic daily life.
