10 Classic Polish Recipes
Our time in Poland convinced us, Polish food is AMAZING. Don't let the names of these dishes scare you. These recipes are worth diving right in!
Bialy Barszcz - White Borscht - A creamy soup filled with sausage, potatoes, and boiled eggs.
Koptyka - Potato Dumplings - Thinks of these dumplings as the Polish answer to Italian gnocchi. Soft and tender, they are traditionally served with cheese or a mixture of mushrooms and onions.
Paczki - Jelly Filled Donuts - Our baked version of the soft and airy Polish donut, traditionally filled with fruit puree and tossed in powdered sugar.
Pierogi - Filled Dumplings - Soft, pasta-like dough surrounds pockets of traditional Polish fillings like potatoes and cheese, mushrooms, and sauerkraut. Think of them like Polish ravioli.
Chlodnik - Chilled Beet Soup - This refreshing soup combines beets and cucumbers with buttermilk and yogurt for a perfect summer lunch.
Lazanki - Cabbage and Noodles - This unexpected combination of flavors comes together to create a sort of Polish stroganoff, incredibly flavorful and very comforting.
Zapiekanki - Street Pizza - French bread pizza topped with mushrooms, mozzarella cheese, and... wait for it... KETCHUP. That's how they do street food in Poland!
Szarlotka - Apple Pie - A thick layer of apples piled atop a dense, cakey crust and topped with a shortbread. That's how the Polish do apple pie.
Barszcz - Borscht - A classic warm beet soup with variations popular throughout Russia, Poland and Ukraine.
Blueberry Pierogi - A sweet, summer version of this classic Polish dish, filled with berries and topped with sweet cream.

I teach Cooking Classes from age 7-18. The older class has 5 lessons for 3 hours each week. We study a country each week and this week is Poland. I have a student who went this summer for a month. All the class will make about 7 recipes from Poland and the recipes sound delicious! Thanks
What a fun class! I'm sure the kids love it. You may want to check out our newest site, http://www.kidsfoodatlas.com ! We are currently building up the resource, but plan to highlight an overview of food, history, and culture for every country!
