Thanks for stopping by! Welcome to Zofia’s kitchen, a sort of Polish recipe blog…ish.

My parents left Poland for the United States in the 1980s looking to leave communism behind and start a new life in America. Growing up, I was fortunate enough to eat a home cooked meal almost every night, and while my mother Americanized and diversified her cooking, tastes of Poland could be found in many meals.

When it comes to holidays such as Christmas or Easter, we usually stick to traditional Polish recipes. These recipes are all in an old tattered up book that my mom has had for years. I can’t read the handwriting and I’m afraid that the pages will disintegrate any day now. So, I decided that I would type up some of our favorite family recipes and share them. Hope you enjoy 🙂

  1. I’m sure you can get some bits from your mom notebook 🙂 My grandma never had a notebook, so there is nowhere to look for her secret recipes, and my mom says she can never get the barszcz the same. I love those old notebook covers

  2. Well, Magda, nobody can ever make barszcz like mom or babcia, even if you follow the exact recipe! Somebody should study how that’s possible 🙈

    I hope you are able to find good recipes 🙂 thanks for stopping by!
