My “Miserable” Youth was Filled with this Cucumber Dish 🥒

February 20, 2016 by Food Polka

As I began exploring my Polish food memories, I realized that many Polish dish names carry pretty negative associations. Let’s take “Mizeria”, a simple dinner side green cucumber 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. Some people used heavy cream instead. To boost vitamins and flavor, my mom […]

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 […]

Big Lebowski is back with this White Russian Jello Shot!

March 14, 2015 by Food Polka

When Spring Break comes to mind, many people envision jello shots. While these may be a staple at college parties, I refuse to create the cliché jello shot that everyone expects. Instead, I decided to blend the traditions of an American dive bar with those of an Italian coffee bar. Taking inspiration from the classic American cocktail made famed by the film “The Big Lebowski”. I simply infused this American classic with gelatine and turned it into that old favorite […]
