Summary

“Polish’d  brims with dazzling recipes and inviting stories––virtuosic， vegetarian takes on traditional Polish cuisine with multicultural influences。”— Foreword ，   starred review

100 fresh， modern Polish vegetarian recipes—from new takes on traditional favorites to fusions from around the world

Michał Korkosz’s first book，  Fresh from Poland —a Booklist Top 10 Cookbook of 2020 hailed as “a vegetable wonderland” by  The San Francisco Chronicle —brought a Polish vegetarian cookbook to American readers for the first time。 Now， he moves from celebrating Poland’s history with vegetarian versions of traditional recipes to exploring Polish cooking’s rich present with 100 exciting recipes。

Polish’d includes both typical Polish favorites made vegetarian， like Kakory （Potato Empanadas） Filled with Roasted Vegetables and Cheese， and new flavors brought to Poland through immigration and cultural exchange， like Miso Żurek with Mashed Potatoes， Roasted Mushrooms， and Dill。 Its recipes showcase fresh vegetables， grains， and herbs， but there’s also plenty of buttery， sugary， and cheesy comfort-food goodness to be found。 Readers will see， and taste， Polish food in a new way as they enjoy dishes Korkosz was the winner of the 2017 Saveur Blog Award for best food blog photography， and his gorgeous photos make these offerings even more mouthwatering。 His love for his home country’s culinary tradition and innovation is at the heart of each recipe。 With its unique take on this oft-ignored cuisine， Polish’d will please readers with Polish heritage， vegetarian fans of Eastern European food， and anyone looking for creative ways to enjoy plant-based fare。

My bestie is Polish so I grew up with some of these recipes。 I love the twist of updating， a somewhat heavy cuisine， with a vegetarian twist。 The recipes are easy to follow and easily accessible ingredients。

A fascinating， fresh take on Polish cuisine， which in its traditional incarnation is not known for being vegetarian-friendly or particularly exciting。 However， Korkosz shows that many of the dishes we take for granted have a lot of potential and just need a little twist to turn them into culinary discoveries。 Each recipe is accompanied by short personal reflections and beautiful photographs， making it a real pleasure to browse through。 I think it will be a perfect gift for people who like to see A fascinating， fresh take on Polish cuisine， which in its traditional incarnation is not known for being vegetarian-friendly or particularly exciting。 However， Korkosz shows that many of the dishes we take for granted have a lot of potential and just need a little twist to turn them into culinary discoveries。 Each recipe is accompanied by short personal reflections and beautiful photographs， making it a real pleasure to browse through。 I think it will be a perfect gift for people who like to seek new adventures in the kitchen。Thanks to the publisher， The Experiment， and NetGalley for an advanced copy of this book。 。。。more

Being of Polish ancestry， I was delighted to be given the opportunity to provide feedback on “Polish’d”。 The cookbook stood out from other standard cookbooks as a lot of the recipes were not familiar to me and it was hard choosing which one to try first！ Each recipe is partnered with stunning photograph of the dish， which often we do not see in recipe books， but I consider a huge win to be able to visualize what one is preparing。 I can see how Michal Korkosz won the 2017 Saveur Blog award for Be Being of Polish ancestry， I was delighted to be given the opportunity to provide feedback on “Polish’d”。 The cookbook stood out from other standard cookbooks as a lot of the recipes were not familiar to me and it was hard choosing which one to try first！ Each recipe is partnered with stunning photograph of the dish， which often we do not see in recipe books， but I consider a huge win to be able to visualize what one is preparing。 I can see how Michal Korkosz won the 2017 Saveur Blog award for Best Food Blog Photography！ Thank you to NetGalley and The Experiment publishing company for providing me the opportunity to review "Polish’d” prior to publication。 I am appreciative and leave my review voluntarily。 。。。more

Being of Polish decent， I was excited for this cookbook， especially since it is vegetarian！Most of the recipes can be made vegan， too。 OVERALL THOUGHTS: finally a cookbook with new ideas and new meals I've never heard of！Things I liked:- NEW DISHES - "normal" photos （pretty but not magazine-style; more homemade vibes）- photos of every recipe or just about - wide variety - vegan and GF friendly - clear passion and love for Polish food by the author Things I wished it had:- pronunciation tips - nu Being of Polish decent， I was excited for this cookbook， especially since it is vegetarian！Most of the recipes can be made vegan， too。 OVERALL THOUGHTS: finally a cookbook with new ideas and new meals I've never heard of！Things I liked:- NEW DISHES - "normal" photos （pretty but not magazine-style; more homemade vibes）- photos of every recipe or just about - wide variety - vegan and GF friendly - clear passion and love for Polish food by the author Things I wished it had:- pronunciation tips - nutritional information - different organization （it's organized by method instead of course）The only negative is that there are speciality ingredients I don't think most people will have access too， but the bulk of the recipes feel "every day"I have not yet tried any recipe as it is very very hot where I live and we are basically living on salads。 I look forward to making a few of the recipes during comforting winter months。 Thanks netgalley for my ARC 。。。more

There was so much satisfaction to be had in the kitchen cooking up a vegetarian Polish-inspired menu from Michal Korkosz’s new cookbook Polish’d。 He’s got a fantastic， award-winning website （Rozkoszny–”delightful” in Polish） and is a food columnist and recipe developer living in Warsaw。 His first book， Fresh From Poland， explored vegetarian interpretations of traditional Polish food， but

Polish-inspired menu from Michal Korkosz’s new cookbook Polish’d。 He’s got a fantastic， award-winning website （Rozkoszny–”delightful” in Polish） and is a food columnist and recipe developer living in Warsaw。 His first book， Fresh From Poland， explored vegetarian interpretations of traditional Polish food， but in Polish’d he explores the more multicultural Polish traditions of his native Warsaw， “a cultural melting pot where you can taste flavours from all over。” I’ve always associated Polish cooking with tending towards meat-heavy， but apparently Warsaw is a vegetarian paradise。 Who knew？ He writes， “On one hand， these recipes are a modern， vegetarian take on long-established Polish recipes， but on the other， they’re infused with flavors and ingredients brought to Poland by immigration and globalization throughout history。 Some people may call this fusion， but I'd rather think of it as the natural integration of global flavors and ingredients into Polish cuisine that has come to pass over time。” Korkosz has divided his book into chapters based on cooking technique， from Raw to Panfried， and he even has a Fermented & Preserved section！ There’s a handy section on the modern Polish pantry too。 The recipes: Crunchy Broccoli and Hazelnuts with Grapes， Apples， and Spicy Honey DressingIn his introduction to this recipe， Korkosz says， “I was nineteen years old when I learned that broccoli can be eaten raw。 It’s the total opposite of the watery， overcooked， faded green broccoli of the school cafeteria。” Personally， I grew up with raw broccoli on veggie trays， and dipped the spears liberally in ranch dressing。 Mmmm， good times。 I love the vegetable every which way。 This was a new broccoli adventure， though。 Broccoli with grapes and apples？ Not so sure。 But the combo of all of these amazing foods was fantastic。 The Spicy Honey Dressing brought it all together。 So many tastes at once！ It was a new way for me to serve broccoli and everyone loved it。 Crispy Brussels Sprouts with Miso Bagna CaudaLIke Korkosz’s experience with soggy broccoli， soggy Brussels sprouts were my childhood Christmas dinner delight。 I didn’t hate them， but they’re not going to win any awards （sorry， Mom！）。 The wonders of beautifully cooked， crispy， well-seasoned Brussels sprouts are a revelation。 I’ve had some pretty great takes on the vegetable in restaurants， and my own roasted sprouts are a winter dinner staple at our house， but Korkosz claims his recipe serves up “the world’s best Brussels sprouts。” The main oomph factor here is bagna cauda， an Italian dipping sauce that is eaten akin to a fondue， with veg for dipping。 It features anchovies， so miso subs in here。 I’d never heard of it。 I prepared the sprouts， added toasted panko， some sunflower seeds and this magnificent miso bagna cauda and tossed it。 It was amazing！ Salty， sharp and very umami。 I’m going to have to side with Korkosz here， I think these may just be the best Brussels sprouts around， and I made them in my own kitchen， not a high end restaurant。 Pearl Barley Salad with Pickled Red Onion， Fennel， and Szafir CheeseI find barley so satisfying。 It’s something about the bite， the mouthfeel and how hearty a grain it seems。 I don’t eat it nearly enough， so when I saw this salad I was drawn to it。 Quick-pickling red onion was a new skill for me， which proved simple and added a great crunch。 Korkosz calls for slicing a lemon and stir-frying it with fennel。 I wasn’t clear: should I leave the peel on the lemon？ A quick peek at the picture of the finished dish advised me that I should。 It seemed risky， but came out mild and lemony without bitterness。 Finally， I substituted feta cheese for the Szafir because I couldn’t find it。 This salad was easy， delicious and filling。 It would make a great meal on its own， or prove a perfect potluck dish。 Salted Szarlotka （Apple Pie） with No-Churn Brown Butter Ice Cream This apple pie was a conundrum。 There were a lot of steps to make it: the crust， the apples， the ice cream （which had a few steps in itself）。 I loved learning the no-churn ice cream technique， and while it wasn’t the same as regular ice cream， it was pretty close， and very tasty。 I’d never browned butter， so check off another new technique。 When I put it together and served the dessert， it tasted great but the pie didn't hold together well。 The top of the crust seemed more like a crumble， and the bottom was a tad soggy。 Finally， the sweet ice cream with the sweet pie together was probably a bit too rich。 But every bit tasted amazing！ Over the next week I ate all the pie and ice cream， and savoured every last bite。 A bonus: the whole process of browning the butter， cooking the salted brown butter crust and the apples produced a heavenly smell。 Korkosz loves the smell of this dessert so much that he went to a Warsaw perfumery and had these scents made into his own signature perfume。 What a modern Polish vegetarian cooking adventure！ I had so much fun with this cookbook， and there are a lot of recipes that I want to try， particularly from his Fermented & Preserved section。 In Polish’d， Korkosz has given us a great book for the vegetarian shelf。 “At the end of the day， cooking is an invitation to fantasize–to push boundaries–and is only limited by your imagination…In this cookbook， I celebrate my Polishness， and my goal is to honor my heritage in the best way I know how–through food。”Thanks to The Experiment Press and NetGalley for a digital ARC。 。。。more

I wanted to eat everything in this book。 I am not a vegetarian， but I am of Polish ancestry and I eat a lot of veggies， so this book was a welcome delight to read。 I highly recommend this book for anyone wanting to gussy up their vegetable based dish repertoire！

Growing up Polish， but not eating meat was difficult。 Like the author I started to resent Polish cuisine and distance myself from tradition Polish foods。 It has only been now in my adult years that I have started rediscover traditional recipes and make them work for me。 I was really excited to receive a copy of this book because being a Polish vegetarian is not the easiest。 I can't wait to try the different variations of pierogi and kopytka from this cookbook。 I might even start to like bigos fo Growing up Polish， but not eating meat was difficult。 Like the author I started to resent Polish cuisine and distance myself from tradition Polish foods。 It has only been now in my adult years that I have started rediscover traditional recipes and make them work for me。 I was really excited to receive a copy of this book because being a Polish vegetarian is not the easiest。 I can't wait to try the different variations of pierogi and kopytka from this cookbook。 I might even start to like bigos for the first time in my life with this vegetarian version。 I love that the author included a photo of each recipe。 I think that helps me narrow down what I will make， especially when I'm hungry。 I was a little disappointed a barszcz recipe wasn't included in this book， however I think this is a great book for anyone who doesn't eat meat。 Thank you to NetGalley and Michal Korkosz for the advanced copy of this cookbook。 。。。more

What an amazingly beautiful cookbook！ Plus， every recipe has a photo， which is a huge plus。 The book is laid out well， based on the type of preparation—raw， stovetop， steamed， smashed & blended， etc。， ending with a sweet chapter。 The ingredients are playful but don't seem like they would be hard to find at all。 Plus， all the dishes looked so good！ There were honestly very few that I swiped through thinking that I probably wouldn't make。 My favorites include Goat Cheese Pierogi with Honey and Mar What an amazingly beautiful cookbook！ Plus， every recipe has a photo， which is a huge plus。 The book is laid out well， based on the type of preparation—raw， stovetop， steamed， smashed & blended， etc。， ending with a sweet chapter。 The ingredients are playful but don't seem like they would be hard to find at all。 Plus， all the dishes looked so good！ There were honestly very few that I swiped through thinking that I probably wouldn't make。 My favorites include Goat Cheese Pierogi with Honey and Marjoram， Charred Corn Risotto with Cherry Tomatoes and Hazelnuts， and Chanterelle Challah Toast with Roasted Garlic Butter， Soaked in Rosemary Wine Sauce。 。。。more

This is a wonderful cookbook with really creative dishes that sound delicious。 There’s a photo for every recipe and a wide variety of recipes that are uniquely grouped in chapters according to method （like steamed， smashed or raw） instead of course。 No nutritional information is provided， which is generally a reason to knock off a star for me as so many of us need that information。 My husband and I eat clean keto and most of the dishes won’t work for us but the cookbook will work for a lot of ot This is a wonderful cookbook with really creative dishes that sound delicious。 There’s a photo for every recipe and a wide variety of recipes that are uniquely grouped in chapters according to method （like steamed， smashed or raw） instead of course。 No nutritional information is provided， which is generally a reason to knock off a star for me as so many of us need that information。 My husband and I eat clean keto and most of the dishes won’t work for us but the cookbook will work for a lot of others with special dietary needs like gluten free。 Dairy is used fairly often but vegans should be able to adapt。 All in all， it’s a delight of a cookbook that will be a blessing for anyone looking for authentic， creative plant based Polish cuisine。 I read a temporary digital review copy of this book via NetGalley。 。。。more
