Pierogi are filled dumplings made by wrapping unleavened dough around a savory or sweet filling and cooking in boiling water. Mostly being pan-fried before serving, pierogi is a signature of Poland that tourists must try when visiting here and also the favorite of every local. We first cook the food that are most popular among poles. Furthermore, we couldn’t stand eating the frozen dinners or every night taking out from a fast food place. Food matters to us in a way that tourist eating doesn’t have any effect. We think that we still don’t need a trip to Poland to encourage us to think about what we do to the food that we eat, including things that we don’t often think about. When we gather in Polish community, we should have at least the know-how to cook the food of wherever it comes from. This book is perfect for anyone who intends to make Polish sausages or any kind of sausage. Even Polish butchers that make sausages all over the world make this book a point of reference. It is very scientific and appeals to the general public interested in sausage making or those in the “sausage trade.” Review 📖
