Double Dip allowed. Chocolaty aphrodisiac fruit dessert

February 11, 2015 by Food Polka

Valentine’s Day is a perfect occasion for dipping aphrodisiac fruit in rich, velvety chocolate that itself is an aphrodisiac. Cut aphrodisiac fruits into shapes that only your imagination can deliver. Put them on the skewer. Hold them with your fingertips by the stem. Dip the fruit inside that warm pot, full of velvety, chocolate. Pamper your lip and mouth with it. Let your tongue feel it when it’s still warm. To add more spice to your dessert and make it […]

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 […]

Carnitas a’la Food Polka a.k.a slow roasted pork with lots of marjoram

June 5, 2014 by Food Polka

Being Polish means being in love with pork. It feels like a serious offense or a sin in Poland to refuse to eat pork. Seriously, I have never met a person in Poland, other than my vegetarian friends, who wouldn’t eat that meat. So, after I moved to California I had to find some pork! Although it isn’t America’s meat of choice, it wasn’t hard to find because of the “omnipresent” Mexican cuisine. I was quickly introduced to Carnitas and […]

I know. It’s cheesy but I miss Polish farmer’s cheese

May 18, 2014 by Food Polka

Do you want to know the food products from Poland I miss the most? Polish-style farmer’s cheese. During my childhood, this was my favorite food and it was relatively easy to get, unlike most other food products. During the 80s most food items were rationed per person. However, this cheese was never rationed.I would walk into the often bare market and get the whiff of that unique sour smell the cheese produced, especially strong when there was no A/C. I […]

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 […]

“Just go for it” portabella-spinach Wontons

February 26, 2014 by Food Polka

Much like a painter who 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 cupboards and refrigerator and just go for it. This happens because I have good cooking intuition. For example, yesterday I was feeling super hungry and knew I had to eat before my Pilates class, but I wasn’t […]

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. You take every opportunity to experience a new culture, environment, and people. For some, that initial excitement might die down and they might start to miss their homeland. This usually results in two things happening: they eventually wait out that feeling and come to accept the new country as […]
