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 in order to protest against United States […]

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, […]

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 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 […]

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 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 […]

Pork schnitzel breaded in buckwheat 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 for a […]

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 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. Or some people used heavy cream instead. To add a boost of […]
