I am English and my girlfriend is Polish, I'd quite like to cook/bake some quick/easy desserts for her. What would you suggest for absolute classics which are quite easy and quick to make? - How authentic is this?
I can't post links, but google berserka-blueberry-mazurka and click the first link from Tillamook!
Fairly authentic. They aren't big on deserts, but plenty of cakes. If you want to cheat and live near a Polish shop, have a look at the packets of cake mix - big sellers in PL and easy to use.
I'd prefer to do it pretty much from scratch (not averse to using ready made pastry though!). I might try and give that one a go at some point. Cheers!
Hello, my husband's family is Polish but his Grandpa recently died and I'm wanting make sure traditions are still carried on. His birthday is next week and I was wondering what some good desserts or food would be to cook? Also, good beer I could stock the fridge with?
makowiec -poppy seed całe sernik krakowski - a type of cheesecake mazurek - typical Easter pie - it has different versions. Pączki (similar to doughnuts) and faworki ('angel wings) eaten on Fat Thursday before the Lent.
Just google the names + recipe - there are English versions of the recipes.
