How does Poland taste? It is salty like pickles, herring and salt from the Wieliczka Salt Mine, sour like fresh apples, bitter like offal, black tea and herbs, and spicy like horseradish. You will find the umami taste in meat, fish and mushroom dishes and taste sweetness in delicious treats, aromatic honey and Polish hospitality. This book is an invitation to a journey through the Polish culinary paths.
