Lamb Weston French Fries Styling 🍟

April 2, 2019 by Food Polka

Selling a pile of French fries can be a surprisingly demanding job. Lamb Weston is one of the world’s largest producers of frozen French fries and other prepared potato products, supplying restaurant chains, bars, and food service businesses around the globe. Food Polka was hired to develop serving ideas and photographs that would help its sales team sell those products to other businesses.

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 […]

The Anarchist Cookbook Gets Animated 🍟🌌

May 13, 2016 by Food Polka

Have you ever heard about The Anarchist Cookbook? It first came out in 1971, and to this day is one of the most controversial cookbooks ever published. However, it’s not your traditional cookbook — It’s filled with recipes and instructions to manufacture explosives, rudimentary telecommunications phreaking devices, and other items. The book also includes instructions for home manufacturing of illicit drugs, including LSD. It was written at the apex of the counterculture era to protest against the United States’ involvement […]

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 […]

Go Green with the Green Mashed Potatoes 🥔🍃

March 24, 2016 by Food Polka

Ok, so today is St. Patrick’s Day, and 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, not Irish, and don’t paint eggs this year, but I painted my mashed potatoes green. And painted my potatoes not because it’s Easter time, but because green mashed potatoes are delicious, healthy, […]

“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 Americans’ 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 by potatoes and dill. When the spirit of California speaks to me, and I want a healthier version, I make a pork schnitzel… breaded in buckwheat flour. Here is a recipe for […]

My “Miserable” Youth was Filled with this Cucumber Dish 🥒

February 20, 2016 by Food Polka

As I began exploring my Polish food memories, I realized that many Polish dish names carry pretty negative associations. Let’s take “Mizeria”, a simple dinner side green cucumber dish, which basically translates to “Misery”. Mizeria consists of two main ingredients. Sour cream and green cucumbers 🥒🥒. That’s it. The sour cream was sometimes swapped for similar dairy products like kefir, buttermilk, or yogurt if they were available. Some people used heavy cream instead. To boost vitamins and flavor, my mom […]
