Summary: Wonderful Cookbook
Review: Ironically, I haven't yet purchased this book. However, I am on a variety of different Polish cooking mailing lists and the one and only book they recommend is this one. They say it is the absolute best out there. So, if the Polish Food Fanatics think this book is the best, I'm sure you will love it too.

Summary: Just Like Babcha Used to Make, AND MORE!
Review: Just reading the pierogi dough & stuffing recipes sent me right back to Babcha's kitchen! Now I remember her secrets & will always have them at hand. This is the "bible" for all Polish kitchens & those who appreciate Polish food. I bought my mother a wonderful Polish cook book many years ago, but waite 'til she sees this one!

Summary: Just Like Babcha Used to Make, AND MORE!
Review: This is the bible on good Polish home cooking. You'll find at least one recipe for most dishes you can think of. They are clear, easy to follow, and the results taste just like my grandmother's cooking (she wonders how I do it without asking her for help). There is an excellent section on ingredients and good directions for things like making your own bialy ser/twarog so that you can produce good Polish cooking regardless of how well or poorly stocked your local delicatessen is. I occassionally feel that Pan Strybel is a little bossy, but the results justify it - my chicken soup has never been better. Younger cooks may choose to ignore some of the garnishing suggestions as they are somewhat dated. The index is really good, making it easy to find what you're looking for (in Polish or in English). And when you're feeling a little tired and missing Poland, just curl up and read.
