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 […]

Polish Split Pea Soup Inspired by Military Field Kitchens 🫛

December 29, 2015 by Food Polka

This is the ultimate Polish soup recipe. The soup is called “Grochówka” and is made out of dried split peas and a few more typical Polish soup ingredients. If you drive across Poland, you will notice roadside stands and food shacks in the woods inviting you to have a bowl of the “Grochówka Wojskowa” or “Grochówka Polowa”, which translates into the “Military Split Pea Soup”. Stop by, and you will most likely end up with something really tasty. Something very […]

Holiday Eggnog Martini just like grandma used to make 🍸🥚

December 25, 2015 by Food Polka

When I was a little girl, I fell in love with a homemade treat called kogel-mogel. It was made from raw egg yolks and white sugar. Sometimes, I would add a touch of raw cocoa powder or lemon juice. Growing up in communist Poland, where sweets were rationed and often unavailable, this simple treat meant the world to me especially since I could make it at home whenever I craved something sweet. As I got a little older, I discovered […]

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 […]

Navel Oranges + 81 Fahrenheit = Pancakes and Christmas in SoCal

December 27, 2013 by Food Polka

So, it’s a day after Christmas. While a lot of the world is suffering in the miserable cold, I am hanging out on my terrace drinking coffee, wearing a tank top and shorts. Sure I have Jack burrowing into my lap. Sometimes I really can’t believe where I live. Back in Warsaw, it’s 38 degrees. Here in Signal Hill it never gets that cold, it never snows. The worse we get is a little rain and a slight chill. And […]

The Christmas Tale of Food Polka. Oranges and Irony 🍊🎄🛳️ 🇨🇺

December 24, 2013 by Food Polka

Every morning, I have to find new toys or bones while I’m making my bed because my little Jack Russell – conveniently named Jack hides them for me under the pillow every night.  Yesterday it was an orange ball. That Orange ball got me thinking of Oranges – shocking, I know, and that got me thinking of my cool Navel Orange Pancake recipe, and that got me thinking of the big bag of oranges that’s been on my counter, and […]
