Polish Cooking

Rating:
Summary: Excellent book
Review: I am not from Poland, my husband is. He enjoys the recipes from this cookbook. The directions are very easy to follow. There are many photographs depicting how to create the dishes. I highly recommend this book- even if the ingredients are hard to find or a bit confusing (As the above reviewer noted).

Summary: Every Recipe Delicious
Review: I bought this book ten years ago when I needed to make a dessert for a Russian club event (figuring nobody would notice if I substituted one Slavic culture for another). I have never been disappointed. Every recipe I've tried from it has been relatively easy to make and incredibly, incredibly delicious. Be warned, there's nothing quick in this book - if you're a slow cook like me, plan on a couple of hours for a main course - but the results are very worth it. We particularly enjoy the Vienna pork rolls (not sure how a recipe named after an Austrian city is Polish, but who am I to question?) and "carrots in sauce."

Review: recipe for Honey-Walnut Mazurka on page 150 calls for all-purpose flour and Instant flour....what is instant flour? Have called Pillsbury and Gold Medal flour companies and they don't know what it is.

Summary: Excellent book
Review: This cookbook brings many memories of the great Polish cooking that I have been introduced to through friends. The pictures of the Polish food are great too. All the dishes included in the cookbook are indexed in both Polish and English for easy reference. Unfortunately the cookbook doesn't make use of Polish alphabet characters to aid in the pronunciation of the dishes for foreigners, but that's minor.
