Polska

The food of Poland has long been overlooked, but the time is right for a reinvention. We all have Polish neighbours, friends and almost certainly a Polish shop near our home. In the UK Polish is the second most-spoken language after English and there are 10 million people of Polish descent in the United States. In Polska, young food writer Zuza Zak presents her contemporary take on Polish cuisine, with over 100 recipes for snacks and party foods, soups, preserves, breads, fish, meat and poultry, salads and veg, and cakes and desserts. She places Polish food within the context of the country's history and geography, and tracks how it has developed and adapted to Poland's ever-changing political and economic situation. With recipes including Tuna cured in bisongrass vodka, Courgette islands with dill flowers, and Mini doughnuts with rose filling, and lavish photography from the acclaimed Laura Edwards, Polska is a breath of fresh air
