In the last 20 years Michael J.Baruch, a native of the northwest side of Chicago, has made the remarkable transformation from an untrained cook to a master of his profession. (-) Mike's first book in a series demystifies Polish cuisine, showing how anyone can make simple and delectable Polish American food in a relatively short time using conventional kitchen equipment and healthy and obtainable foodstuffs.
The New Polish Cuisine is a superb collection of never-before published original recipes that the chef has reinvented for the American palate. All of the best-loved Polish dishes of his childhood have been tastefully reworked to provide the home cook with a solid base of recipes and tips that are lower in fat, easy to use, and full of flavor. Beautifully designed by David Clarke and photographed at the chef's home by food photographer Gregory Bertolini, it is a true visual masterpiece for the senses that accentuates the body and soul of Polish American cooking, a peasant style with aristocratic roots whose depth of culture has never been captured in culinary print until now."
