The Lonely Winter Brussels Sprouts Soup but you don’t have to eat it alone

December 22, 2017 by Food Polka

I am fortunate to spend this Holiday season with my family in Poland. It has been 16 years since the last Christmas together and a very long time since I experienced the “real” winter for longer than a week. Although it’s cold out here, I am still super excited because the trip triggers so many culinary memories. Winters in Northern Europe offer a very limited variety of local produce but Brussels Sprouts are in season now. So, here is my sentimental winter tale about this “little” vegetable. I […]

This Dark, Green Sorrel Soup Made out of California Weed Might Surprise You

March 12, 2017 by Food Polka

Ok, so Easter is right around the corner and being Polish I know that all the Polish housewives have been busy in the kitchen for the last two weeks. Probably baking babkas, hard boiling eggs, and maybe even painting them… I am Polish and I don’t paint eggs this year but I painted my mashed […]

Oranges + Carrots. A Match Made in Heaven

April 16, 2014 by Food Polka

In December, I mentioned in my Navel Orange Pancakes post, that I always try to use seasonal fruits as creatively as possible for a variety of purposes. I thought that by April Navels would be gone but because of the dry and warm winter we had here in California this year, they are still available. 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 […]

My version is slightly more complex than the ones I remember from Poland. It should be with all the wide variety of ingredients available to me now. The soup is a Carb-bomb, made with a mix of bread and flour that is called the […]
