Poland's cuisine is mostly seasonal and is inspired by Christian holidays. Polish pastries thus adapt to the season. Easter occurs in the spring, a period when babkas (a tall bundt cake) and mazureks are popular (buttery short crust pastry with jam or caramel cream). The EU's top apple grower is Poland, thus autumn truly does bring apples! Naturally, Christmas is the focus of the winter, which also includes typical Polish gingerbreads and poppy seed cake. But this book is more than just a collection of recipes. It is also a journey through the rich history and culture of Poland, as each dessert is accompanied by a brief history and cultural significance. You'll learn about the origins of popular treats like paczki (Polish doughnuts) and Faworki, and discover delights like makowiec (poppy seed cake). You may be sure that these delectable Polish treats will transport you to gastronomic paradise, cure your spirit, and leave you feeling upbeat and at ease. Happy cooking!
