Tomatillo, Jalapeno, Lime, Cilantro Make a God Damn Good Handmade Gift Jam

May 30, 2015 by Food Polka

Last March my mother reminded me about my grandma’s 90th birthday in April. She thought I perhaps should send her a special card or a little gift. So, since I am the biggest fan of handmade gifts, I decided to make something special for her. And… since I am into food I instantly thought that maybe I could make a cool preserve that could be put in a jar and shipped to Poland. I don’t think my grandma’s pallet is […]

Polish cabbage rolls bring love and sexual potency to your life

December 13, 2014 by Food Polka

So you are an immigrant. Perhaps Polish, like myself. You landed in a foreign country. You fell in love with the place, culture, and people. You decided to stay and settle down. You got a job. You made yourself a cozy home. But something is still missing. You can’t put your finger on it. Perhaps it’s that special someone missing in your life? That person you have always dreamed about, but you haven’t had time for? The person you can […]

Oranges + Carrots. A Match Made in Heaven

April 16, 2014 by Food Polka

So today, I am going to be using Navel oranges once again, and this time the oranges will be used to make a super aromatic […]

The nostalgic mystery of the Polish cabbage rolls.

January 5, 2014 by Food Polka

I’ve been living in California for 13 years now, and I can honestly say I never really encountered homesickness. When you move to a new country you’re so excited at first.

This usually results in two things happening: they eventually wait out that feeling and come to accept the new country as […]
