  • Fruit yeast cake

    Fruit yeast cake

    It’s probably one of the most standard homemade cakes in Poland, or at least it used to be. It’s pretty easy to pull off, but the yeast does need time to do its job. It’ll work with most fruits, like apples, pears, plums, etc. Plums are the most ‘classic’ variation.

  • Brined cucumbers

    Brined cucumbers

    There are three common ways of preserving cucumbers in Poland: brined, soured/fermented and pickled. Thie recipe covers the first variety, which is by far my favourite.

  • Polish-Vietnamese Pickled Cucumber Soup

    Polish-Vietnamese Pickled Cucumber Soup

    It is a twist on a Polish classic, which by itself isn’t that well-known outside of the country. Definitely worth a try, as it’s quick to make (if you have pho or chicken stock kicking around), and can be made even simpler with stock cubes.

  • Andrut

    Andrut

    This is a fairly old recipe. My mom used to make it, at least in the 1908s, but when I served it to other people, they mentioned great-grandmothers preparing it. It’s been a ‘show-off’ thing in the socialist years in Poland.

  • Leczo

    Leczo

    It’s a recipe I got from a friend who had good Hungarian contacts. It’s polonized as only in Polish version sasusage and other meats are mandatory, and courgette is sometimes added. The recipe scales easily up and down if you count the ingredients in 3:3:1:2 ratio (four first points).
