Polish Culinary Delights was written to bring authentic Polish recipes of the past few generations to the North American kitchen. Besides finding the usual "traditional Polish" fare, this book includes unique recipes created by Ania and others in her family (grandma, grandpa, uncle, etc.).

This traditional cookbook includes more than 175 recipes, everything from soups, appetizers, entrees and side dishes to desserts. Easy-to-follow instructions with helpful tips make it simple to prepare such traditional Polish favorites as Pierogies, Blintzes, Sauerkraut, Cabbage Rolls, Bigos, Carp in Gelatin, Horseradish Sauce, Borsch, Paczki, Angel Wings, Mazurka cakes and many more.

"I believe that cooking comes from the heart. Recipes are not set in stone. Taste is the most important thing. Make sure you have fun cooking, and if you think that a recipe calls for an ingredient not listed, throw it in, and see what happens!"

— Ania Zaremba

ANIA ZAREMBA, Polish-born and mother of three used her extensive cooking experience to bring you these original Polish recipes. Ania has loved to cook since she was 6 years old. Since both of her parents worked late, she was tasked with cooking dinner for the family. Over time, she developed a love of cooking for people, and became especially happy when they liked what she made.
