The Polish Cookery 'bible',
By A Customer
This review is from: Polish Heritage Cookery (Hardcover)
It has been hard to find a more down-to-earth and up-to-date Polish cookery book which adapts all of the recipes we have heard of - and thousands more - and makes them do-able in the modern kitchen. It even refines some recipes to cut down on the 20-egg cholesterol nightmares! It is especially relevant to those who need some explanation about the traditions and methods of this type of cuisine. Strybel has converted these traditonal methods, using modern equipment and ingredients, without taking away any of the taste! There are diagrams when needed, and useful conversion tables at the back. The only drawbacks are that it is an American book, which means there are sometimes problems of translation - e.g. a 'stick' of butter (my research found this out to be 4 oz!), and a 'cake' of yeast (still working on this one, but I think it is 1 oz.). Also, to save space, the recipes have been formatted as prose, rather than the conventional ingredients list, then description. You get used to this, though. Without doubt, this is a most enjoyable book to read as well as use. I couldn't do without it. It has never let me down, and there doesn't appear to be anything missing in its vast selection of recipes.

Wonderful Cookbook,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Polish Heritage Cookery (Hardcover)
I love this cookbook, the recipes are excellent, and easy to follow. I've successfully prepared many dishes I'd never heard of before I married my husband who is Polish.
I'd reccommend this book to anyone who wants to prepare authentic polish recipes. 23 of 24 people found the following review helpful:

Just like Babcia's Cooking: A Comprehensive Guide,
By Helena Fagan - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Polish Heritage Cookery (Hardcover)
This is the bible on good Polish home cooking. You'll find at least one recipe for most dishes you can think of. They are clear, easy to follow, and the results taste just like my grandmother's cooking (she wonders how I do it without asking her for help). There is an excellent section on ingredients and good directions for things like making your own bialy ser/twarog so that you can produce good Polish cooking regardless of how well or poorly stocked your local delicatessen is. I occassionally feel that Pan Strybel is a little bossy, but the results justify it - my chicken soup has never been better. Younger cooks may choose to ignore some of the garnishing suggestions as they are somewhat dated. The index is really good, making it easy to find what you're looking for (in Polish or in English). And when you're feeling a little tired and missing Poland, just curl up and read. 15 of 16 people found the following review helpful:

Just Like Babcha Used to Make, AND MORE!,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Polish Heritage Cookery (Hardcover)
Just reading the pierogi dough & stuffing recipes sent me right back to Babcha's kitchen! Now I remember her secrets & will always have them at hand. This is the "bible" for all Polish kitchens & those who appreciate Polish food. I bought my mother a wonderful Polish cook book many years ago, but waite 'til she sees this one!
