Apple and Peach Cake with a touch of Woodruff
Soft pastry on the bottom, woodruff-infused apples and peaches and a light buttery crumble. I had it for breakfast, lunch and dinner on the day it was baked. No regrets.
Sour Cucumber Soup
How to explain a liking for this rather acquired taste? For the 4-year-old me, zupa ogórkowa was synonymous with a treat: something I know I'll enjoy, and what is also nourishing and healthy. Or so I was told.
Wild Mushroom and Rice Cabbage Rolls
Gołąbki, as that's how cabbage rolls are called in Poland, are perfect comfort food for early spring: the green of the cabbage invokes freshness we all so crave at this time of the year, and the earthy, steaming hot filling gives comfort, much sought after on still-chilly early spring days.
Sweet Cottage Cheese Dumplings (Pierogi Leniwe)
It takes less than an hour to whip up these little cushion-like dumplings. Served with a bit of melted butter, some sugar and a sprinkle of cinnamon, they are a foolproof mood lifter. At least for me.
Silesian Potato Dumplings (Kluski Śląskie)
Kluski śląskie are one of the foods that you either love or hate, but in this case, it's down not to the flavour, but texture. A bit gummy, a bit chewy, I have always thought of them as pretty fun: they are quite bouncy for a dumpling!
Tomato and Pasta Soup
Chunky, fresh, and very satisfying. This tomato soup with pasta is as comforting as summer gets.
Miso, Kale and Shiitake Soup with Noodles
Comforting, yet light soup with miso, kale and shiitake mushrooms. Quick summer lunch, perfect for a rainy day like today.
Ewa’s Legendary Kapuśniak (sauerkraut soup).
Most of us have a place we especially remember and cherish the memory of. Kamienica on Dietla Street in Krakow is (for me) the place where magic happens.
Thukpa, Tibetan Noodle Soup
Goodness in a bowl. This Tibetan soup is not only comforting, but also super healthy. I dare you to try!
