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 […]

The Runaway Citrus

March 29, 2016 by Food Polka

I picked them up from the trees in my neighborhood but these little brats run away from me. Even that fat, yellow grapefruit was able to get out on time! Another fun stop-motion made with galtvisual.

Go green with your 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 potatoes are delicious, healthy […]

.. And the Food Polka Award for the Best Green Design Goes to…

February 29, 2016 by Food Polka

Because this is award season in Hollywood where an actress wearing a designer dress gets major kudos, I decided to take a moment and give a Food Polka Award. The Food Polka Award for the Best Green Design goes to… Kaffir Lime Vase designed by Mother Nature. One sunny morning as I was walking my dog Jack in my neighbor’s back alley, this all-natural, organic vessel rolled to my feet. I picked it up and sniffed it. Where did it […]

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 […]

My “Miserable” Youth was Filled with this Cucumber Dish

February 20, 2016 by Food Polka

As I started exploring my Polish food memories, there was a moment when I realized many Polish dish names have 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 add a […]

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 […]
