"These Polish recipes have a distinctive nature. Some ingredients you may not employ too often: those beets or the cabbage. A heavy use of nuts. A passion for sour cream and buttermilk. These are different flavor pathways to a part of Europe you may never have visited, that you may never visit. But now, you can enjoy the food. One beet at a time." —Cooking by the Book
