Polish Your Kitchen

Welcome to my Polish food blog's video channel! Here, I share memories of growing up in Poland in the 80s and 90s, and Polish food and customs patiently kept alive at my Polish-American home. I’m not a professional chef, just a home cook influenced by years of listening, watching and tasting, who's constantly craving flavors and smells of home. Join my network of friends and stay in touch with your roots through my stories.

Thank you for sticking around and for tagging along on our adventures. We appreciate you and we hope to deliver many more delicious and exciting food experiences. Happy New Year my hungry friends!

Polish Your Kitchen

"Polish Your Kitchen: My Family Table" is a collection of recipes handed down from generation to generation, featuring more than 100 classic Polish dishes from my family home and reflecting the traditional flavors and cooking styles of the Polish hearth. This book is perfect for anyone that wants to bring a taste of Poland into their home.

Working on this project for the past several years was a labor of love for me. It has a lot of personal meaning and provides a great sense of pride. I spent a long time thinking about what it should look like and how to convey a certain feeling. With the help of my friend Igor, a brilliant graphic designer, we created a beautiful cover that depicts a traditional Polish scarf. The scarf has been in the family of over a decade now. The scarf sits on MY family table. The table that was given to us by my parents after Mark and I got married, the table that has stains and dents put into it by my daughter, guests and friends who dined with us. I invite you to sit with us and share in our memories.

I would also like to extend gratitude to our supporters who helped us fund this project via Kickstarter.

Special thanks to:

• Kevin Hilty
• Anne Jarosz and Ian Highet
• Liz Hindle
• Jenifer Spires
• Brenda Fiebig
• Tim Kosobucki
• Scott Badrick
• Mark Zwolinski
• Andrea Dalough
• Wendy and James Taylor
• Danuta and Jerzy Tchórzewscy
• Mary Skibinski

Thank you to my friend Josh Wilson for your hard work editing the book, your knowledge and dedication to my project is greatly appreciated.

Lastly, thank you to my husband Mark for supporting me, always believing in my outlandish ideas and pushing me to fulfill my dreams.

The book is on pre-sale now until 22 March. With your purchase during pre-sale you will receive free shipping and a PYK Sticker. All pre-sale books will be autographed.

Polish Your Kitchen

Hello my hungry friends,
to answer your comments, questions and concerns about our situation here in Poland and Ukraine war next door, we’re publishing a short update.

As you know, we are located in Szczecin, in the far North-West corner of Poland, right next to German border. We are personally unaffected by the war in Ukraine, but are definitely feeling a bit anxious.

There is a large influx of refugees arriving in Poland, including our city, and people are pulling together to help however they can. I see citizens volunteering their homes, some are helping by donating money, supplies, clothing, food, hygiene products or volunteering their time.

We support Ukraine and hope that this useless and unnecessary war ends now.

If you would like to get involved in helping, I’m posting two links below. The first is from Time.com (in English), and the second is from one of Polish news agencies (in Polish).

Thank you for all of your messages and comments of concern. We appreciate you, as always.
Sending love,
Anna and Mark

I believe this is the first time I'm sharing the image of my book cover with you my YouTube friends.

It took me a while to think up an appropriate design, but when I did, it all made sense. On the cover you see a red scarf. The scarf carries a lot of significance for me (so do the pierogi), which I talk about in the book a bit. 😍

The book includes 112 recipes for my most favorite dishes that were prepared in my family home. I wanted to publish 200, but unfortunately that was not possible (maybe in another book, next year).

The book took almost a year to put together and it will be officially published on 22 March 2022, on my babcia Stasia's birthday. ❤️ I only wish she was here to see it.

Book will be available in hardcover and eBook. Pre-sales will open next week.

Hello my hungry friends,

On this Christmas Eve, as I'm putting finishing touches on dishes for our family gathering, I'm also thinking about our viewers and readers. I hope that you are doing the same: continuing your family traditions, celebrating with food and enjoying precious time with loved ones.

We hope that you were able to find many inspirations here at polishyourkitchen.com this year, and that you continue to look for connections to your family traditions through my recipes.

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays

Love,
