This dark, green 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 […]

A Hollywood celebrity mom makes these pancakes for her children

April 17, 2016 by Food Polka

I have been working on culinary video productions with Hollywood celebrities who enjoy cooking. 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 set,  I got to enjoy and respect her culinary spirit and knowledge. She created her own recipes, knew how to work through culinary problems, […]

Go green with your potatoes!

March 24, 2016 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 potatoes green. And painted my potatoes not because it’s Easter time, but because green potatoes are delicious, healthy and they look really cool. I am […]

“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 […]

Nothing speaks Thanksgiving louder than this delicious threesome

November 24, 2015 by Food Polka

This week we celebrate Thanksgiving. This time I won’t be cooking. I am going to celebrate. With my good friends. In the restaurant. And I will not eat turkey because I don’t like it. I’ll enjoy a juicy, bloody prime rib with horseradish. That said I have been “entertaining” the idea of Thanksgiving menu in my kitchen for the last month. How? Just by playing with different pumpkins, squashes, sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, cranberries, oranges… So to keep up with […]

The springtime dinner a’la Food Polka

June 10, 2015 by Food Polka

What the springtime in Poland tastes like? It tastes like a new vegetable garden. It tastes like tiny, creamy new potatoes boiled with the skin on, tossed in fresh butter or buttermilk and topped with fried, runny yolk egg. It tastes like fresh, chopped dill. It tastes like miniature, pale but the sweetest baby carrots and fresh green pea. This is the only time of the year when you can get all these flavors and combine them into one dinner […]

Tomatillo, Jelapeno, Lime, Cilantro make a god damn good preserve

May 30, 2015 by Food Polka

Last March my mother reminded about my grandma’s 90th birthday in April. She thought that maybe I should think about sending her a special card or a little gift. So, since I am the biggest fan of hand made gifts, I decided to make something special for her. And… since I am into food I instantly thought that maybe I could make a really cool preserve that could be put in a jar and shipped to Poland. I don’t think […]

The prefect soft boiled egg breakfast memory

May 22, 2015 by Food Polka

When I was a little kid, growing up in Poland we didn’t have cheerios for breakfast. Corn flakes were hardly ever available. We usually ate open face sandwiches of some kind. Sometimes we had oatmeal or semolina with hot milk, which I hated. Eggs were on the menu as well. Usually scrambled or soft boiled. The soft boiled egg is the most sentimental memory of my childhood breakfast. Perhaps because its eating involved using a special, little egg holder cup. […]

Pomegrante chocolates for Happy Mother’s Day and any other occasion

May 10, 2015 by Food Polka

Dark chocolate is full of sophisticated flavor. Personally, the darker the better. I love dark chocolate with a cocoa content of over 70% combined with fresh fruits. They bring its taste to a completely new level. I particularly love dark chocolate with pomegranate. The unforgettable sensation of juicy, refreshing, sweet and sour pomegranate seeds bursting in the middle of bittersweet, dense chocolate is my favorite. These two different flavors and textures are a sweet craving revelation. When we add some fresh, […]
