Lura’s Kitchen Cookies Product Photography

October 26, 2021 by Food Polka

My role as a producer for Lura’s Kitchen Cookies Product Photography was to bring the client’s vision to life through compelling imagery that showcases their cookie mix product line. As a creative director, director of photography, and food stylist, I worked closely with the client to ensure their cookies were presented in an enticing and visually appealing-to-consumer manner. I focused on capturing the essence of the baked goods and highlighting their delicious flavors and textures. I guided the client away […]

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 […]

Holiday Eggnog Martini just like grandma used to make 🍸🥚

December 25, 2015 by Food Polka

When I was a little girl, I fell in love with a homemade treat called kogel-mogel. It was made from raw egg yolks and white sugar. Sometimes, I would add a touch of raw cocoa powder or lemon juice. Growing up in communist Poland, where sweets were rationed and often unavailable, this simple treat meant the world to me especially since I could make it at home whenever I craved something sweet. As I got a little older, I discovered […]

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 wouldn’t say I like it. I’ll enjoy a juicy, bloody prime rib with horseradish.That said, I have been “entertaining” the idea of a Thanksgiving menu in my kitchen for the last month. How? Playing with different pumpkins, squashes, sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, cranberries, oranges…So to keep up with the […]

American steakhouse dinner menu takes the cake, proving meat and potatoes never go out of style

October 28, 2015 by Food Polka

Earlier this month, I received the unfortunate news that the creative chef startup that first recruited me back in 2013 is shutting down its operations in Southern California. Their business model didn’t quite align with LA’s sprawling geography, so they’ve decided to focus exclusively on New York City, where they’ve been seeing much more success. I have to admit, I genuinely enjoyed working with them. Not only did they match me with a variety of fantastic gigs that connected me […]

Lightly Salty, Naturally Fermented Dill Pickles

September 3, 2015 by Food Polka

Growing up in Poland, I fell in love with homemade sour pickles – especially ones that were naturally fermented. The pickles sold in America are cucumbers preserved in vinegar. My idea of a pickle is a cucumber that’s been naturally fermented in a brine solution. The most common place to find them in the U.S. is at Jewish delis or overpriced foodie spots, but these places usually only give you one, or even just half of a pickle, so I’m […]

All butcher blocks and cutting boards were “pretty ugly” before they became beautiful

July 18, 2015 by Food Polka

This post is basically a photo-reportage from my last month visit at Brooklyn Butcher Blocks in Brooklyn, NY. I first run into the BBB products when I was working as a chef and I was right away impressed with the stunning look and construction of their dark brickwork carving board. So, I’ve started following them on Facebook. In the spring I was hanging out at the Artisanal LA trade show and sure enough there was the BBB booth. So, I’ve […]

Sophisticated sauerkraut made in the privacy of your own home

July 6, 2015 by Food Polka

Sauerkraut is perhaps one of the most controversial culinary ingredients in the entire world. Either you love it, or you hate it. I have never seen anything in between. Either you devour it, or you don’t even look at it. That is the bottom line. The “gray zone” starts when it comes to making the kraut sour (btw, kraut is a German word for cabbage). The process of souring it can have many faces. This outwardly “simplistic” vegetable can be […]
