Thehouse had been confiscated, abandoned, and neglected, and theyset about rebuilding it. In making her home there, Anne had tocook with ingredients that were local, fresh, and available, andlearned how to make food that was, if not exactly traditional, inthe Polish spirit. “And thus,” she says, “without really thinkingabout it, I learned how to cook.”And so will you, following these 90 recipes for simplified Polishclassics, some familiar—pierogi and cabbage rolls—and perhapssome less so—wild mushroom soup or venison stew. The nationalrebirth of Poland in the last two decades has meant the rebirthof its cuisine, and Anne and fellow journalist Danielle Crittenden—friend and fellow home cook—have accordingly modernized manyof its dishes, without losing any of the centuries-old flavors.Dishes such as Braised Cabbage with Wine and Nutmeg, Pierogiwith Wild Mushrooms and Sauerkraut Filling, and Orange-SaffronRum Cake—all deeply grounded in their history and landscape—evoke the tastes and smells of the Polish countryside, a place thatsome of us are from, and that, after this book, many more of uswill want to visit.xperience the delicious peaks and valleys ofbuttery, sweet and savory waffles.
