130 Jagodzianki, Polish Bilberry Buns

Love berries? You'll love jagodzianki, too! Plus, the smell of these freshly baked bilberry buns is divine.

The Tale of Bilberry.

Bilberry. Hurtleberry. Huckelberry. Wimberry. Jagoda. Borówka. Happiness has many names.

129 Chunky Cauliflower, Potato and Dill Soup

Cauliflower is much underrated, don't you think? Enjoy the cauliflower season with this Polish cauliflower and potato soup. With an obligatory sprinkle of freshly chopped dill!

Obwarzanek, Krakow’s favourite bake

The symbol of Krakow with a few-centuries-old tradition. Introducing obwarzanek, my favourite bread from Krakow.

120 Ryba po grecku or Cod with Carrot, Parsnip and Celeriac

Pieces of white fish served with cooked carrots, parsnips and celeriac. In Poland called 'ryba po grecku' (Greek-style fish), this dish is much beloved Polish specialty.

Fat Thursday, when everyone in Poland feasts on doughnuts

One of my favourite Polish traditions. Have you had your Fat Thursday's pączek yet?

117 Ewa’s Legendary Kapuśniak (sauerkraut soup).

Most of us have a place we especially remember and cherish the memory of. Kamienica on Dietla Street in Krakow is (for me) the place where magic happens.

Andrzejki and a Polish custom of predicting the (matrimonial) future.

A rather interesting Polish (and not only) custom of predicting one's future love life from hot wax poured onto cold water. Happy Andrzejki, everyone!

Zielona, the place I call home.

Rather nostalgic return to the place of origin. Zielona in photography.
