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 […]

The Lonely Winter Brussels Sprouts Soup. It’s “lonely”, but you don’t have to eat it alone

December 22, 2016 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 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 grew […]

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, […]

Naturally fermented, lightly salty 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 […]

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 […]

Have you ever heard about powerful food ingredients that feed your sex drive? Maybe? Maybe not?! Well, no matter what you know about, Valentine’s Day is right around the corner! Perhaps it is time to take it to the next level. Just think: An intimate, aphrodisiac ingredient loaded, homemade Valentine’s Day dinner for two.

This Carnival treat your date to the sophisticated version of Polish cabbage rolls. This vegetable brings 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 […]

Some say my food pics make them hungry so now you can order prints of them and drool

December 4, 2014 by Food Polka

Some say my food photos make them smile, others say the pics make them drool… Now, I could come over to your place and cook for you. I could even snap a few pics of you enjoying the delicious dishes. Not an option? Many of my readers want me to send them some photographs for their kitchen or to decorate their restaurant. So now you can order prints of them. These pictures look great when displayed on the wall. When enlarged […]

Navels + 81 Fahrenheit = Orange Pancakes and Christmas in SoCal

December 27, 2013 by Food Polka

So, it’s a day after Christmas. While a lot of the world is suffering in the miserable cold, I am hanging out on my terrace drinking coffee, wearing tank top and shorts. Sure I have Jack burrowing into my lap. Sometimes I really can’t believe where I live. Back Warsaw its 38 degrees. Here in Signal Hill it never gets that cold, it never snows. The worse we get is a little rain and a slight chill. And what’s more […]
