EXPERIMENT Polish'd: Modern Vegetarian Cooking from Global Poland

Michal 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 like:Chilled Cucumber-Melon Soup with Goat Cheese, Crispy Apple, and MintKopytka with Umami Sauce, Spinach, Hazelnuts, and Poppy FurikakeNettle Pesto Pasta with Radishes and AsparagusGrilled Broccoli with Lemon Mayo, Umami Bomb Sauce and Poppy SeedsTomatoes and Peaches with Soft Goat Cheese, Crispy Sage, and Superior Brown Butter SauceCarmelized Twaróg Basque CheesecakeKorkosz was the winner of the 2017 Saveur Blog Award for best food blog photography, and his gorgeous photos make these offerings even more mouthwatering.
