Polish Culinary Delights

This cookbook brings authentic Polish recipes of the past few generations to the North American kitchen.

It includes traditional recipes, as well as ones developed by Ania Zaremba and her family members.

“I believe that cooking comes from the heart,” the Polish-born author says. “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!”

The soft-cover book includes color photographs, index, and wonderful artwork.

Apple Fritters (page 207)
4 apples
1 tablespoon sugar
4 eggs, separated
1 tablespoon sour cream
1 tablespoon flour
Cooking oil
Powdered sugar
Cinnamon

Wash and core the apples and cut them into 1/4-inch slices. Toss apple slices with sugar to coat. Mix the egg yolks with the sour cream. Beat the egg whites until stiff. Gently combine the egg yolks, beaten whites, and flour. Dip each apple slice in the batter and fry in hot oil until golden brown. Drain well, Sift together powdered sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over fritters. Tip: Much better if you use sour apples!
