The springtime dinner ala Food Polka

June 10, 2015 by Food Polka

What the springtime in Poland taste 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 peas. This is the only time of the year when you can get all these flavors and combine them into one dinner […]

The Perfect Soft-Boiled Egg Recipe + Breakfast Memory 🥚🍀

May 22, 2015 by Food Polka

When I was a little kid, growing up in communist Poland, we didn’t have Cheerios for breakfast. Cornflakes 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.

How Lack of Confidence in my English Created a Blog Full of Food Stories

December 21, 2013 by Food Polka

What is Food Polka? The word “Polka”, as some of you may or may not know, is the Polish word for a Polish woman. I am Polish, I am a woman, and I love to cook, so I am the Food Polka. How did it all start? Well, in February of 2013 I started a culinary blog in Polish: JemWiecJestem.com. It got a really good response from friends and family. When I would tell my American friends about it, they […]
