A Hollywood Celebrity Mom Pancakes Made for Her Children

April 17, 2016 by Food Polka

I have been working as a culinary video producer and as a food stylist with Hollywood celebrities who enjoy cooking. The series is called “Inside My Kitchen” and is produced for the digital edition of the US Weekly magazine. Last week I was introduced to a well-known actress and mom who is particularly passionate about good healthy food and cooking for her children. I can’t mention her name at this moment but after spending the entire day with her on […]

“Just Go For It” Portobello-Spinach Wontons

March 4, 2016 by Food Polka

Much like a painter who just starts to paint and creates a unique piece of art, a good cook can whip up something by just starting to cook. I tend to make the best meals when I look at what’s lying around in my cabinets and refrigerator and just go for it. This happens because I have good cooking intuition. For example, one day I was feeling very hungry and knew I had to eat before my Pilates class, but […]

Buckwheat Breaded Pork Schnitzel as Guiltless Pleasure

February 25, 2016 by Food Polka

The Pole’s relationship with pork chops is like the American’s relationship with steak. Although I love steak 🥩, I also love pork 🐖. After 25 years of Polish Pork Cuisine, pork has become an integral part of my diet. Sometimes when I get cravings for the old times and Slavic-Germanic culinary tradition, I make a simple pork schnitzel accompanied with potatoes and dill. When the spirit of Californian speaks to me and I want a healthier version, I make a pork schnitzel… breaded in buckwheat flour. So here is a recipe […]

Get Ready for Mad Men’s Final Season with The Modern Cookies

March 31, 2015 by Food Polka

The last season of Mad Men starts this Sunday, and well… Not sure about you, but I am going to shed a tear (or two) and need some serious comfort food to get me out of this funk. And no, the average potato chip just isn’t going to cut it. I’ll be keeping mid-century mod alive by baking some yummy shortbread cookies. If you aren’t too bummed to invite some friends over, throw a party and watch the final season […]

Polish White Borscht that was Sold Only at Speakeasy

March 2, 2014 by Food Polka

White Borscht (Biały Barszcz) or “sour soup” as I call it, is one of my favorite Polish soups. I even make it for my friends in California and some of them have really taken to it. 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 […]
