Book Reviews of Old Polish Traditions in the Kitchen and at the Table (Hippocrene International Cookbook Series)

Book Review: A bit of everything, but some things missing
Summary: 2 Stars

This is a great cookbook for people who hate cooking but love history or for those that love cooking and know it by heart.
The history secsions of the book are wounderfull and insightfull on how is was back then, and from all that I have read about it, there are a few flaws here and there (not the best historical research or translations of it).

For the cooking, very good for those that acutally do eat lots of fat. If you are trying to cut down on fats in your diet, this book is not for you. At times reciepes them selves were confusing, and not much variation of things that you can add with a dish (one example pierogi). A great deal of dishes from the Easter and Christmass sections that are missing, and that are also traditions.
Also not a book for those who do not eat pork or drink alcohol, althou there are substitues for both, if you dont know of them then the book is useless.
Knowing some of the cooking from experience, this is pretty good overview of BASICS of Polish traditions and cooking.
