The Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist explores Poland’s vibrant and modern culinary life in this beautifully photographed cookbook with 90+ recipes.

For too many people, the term “Polish cooking” conjures to mind heavy, greasy, flavorless food. But historian and journalist Anne Applebaum, who has lived in the country since before the fall of Communism, knows better. With recipes inspired by her home in the Polish countryside, Anne sets the record straight about this fresh and delightful cuisine.

From a Polish Country House Kitchen offers a tantalizing look at Poland’s cultural heritage, turbulent history, and culinary rejuvenation. With recipes including Caviar and Blini, Steak Tartare, Zupa Gryzbowa, Trout with Lemon Cream Sauce, as well as pierogis, pancakes, latkes, and desserts, Anne shares the sustaining foods of her Polish country home with home cooks the world over.
