Beata Zatorska learned to make pierogi & other Polish recipes in her grandmother`s farmhouse kitchen, in the remote village in the foothills of the Karkanosze mountains where she grew up. When she returned years later her beloved grandmother was gone, but she found her handwritten recipes for preparing traditional Polish dishes, & for preserving the precious fruit & vegetables grown in the family garden. Those recipes make up this charming book, together with Beata`s memories of her childhood in Poland in the `60`s & `70`s, & the story of her journey with her husband Simon to discover Poland today.
