'The delight this book has been giving me is something no realistic person could really expect, which makes it even more of a treat.' - Nigella Lawson
'Scores the trifecta for me as a must-have book - genuine excitement and joy in sharing the food from a personal culture; writing that is evocative and full of heart.' - Helen Goh
A collection of traditional and modern Polish baking and dessert recipes including Babkas, cheesecakes, tarts, pastries and all things sweet and celebratory. Ren Behan takes you from everyday baking to Easter celebrations in this comprehensive take on Polish sweet treats, and draws on influences from across central and Eastern Europe.
Honey, cinnamon, ginger, vanilla, citrus peel, cherries, sweet whipped cheese… with these warming scents and flavours, Ren Behan takes you on a comprehensive tour of Polish sweet treats.
With modern twists on classic much-loved recipes and bold, folkloric styling, The Sweet Polish Kitchen is designed to bring the spirit of Polish pâtissière to a new audience who appreciate a diasporic narrative and journey through food.
Poland's rich, multi-national cafe culture underpins these recipes, which draw on many influences; the first pâtisseries in Warsaw were opened by Italian and Swiss immigrants, and there are also borrowings from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Russia, Lithuania and Belarus. A new and delicious baking world is in your hands…
