“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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
