We have recipes from the past but sometimes we add some new ingredients to innovate dishes.

We have different regions in our country and different cuisine there.

In Polish cuisine we have a lot of fat dishes with meat, dishes made from flour and many different kinds of bread.

We also serve more and more vegetables

We use many spices: pepper, cinnamon,cloves,ginger,cardamon which were brought by merchants from all over the world.

Christmas and Easter are very important in Polish cuisine. We have long traditons connected with cooking.

We can buy a lot of food in shops

and we don`t have to cook. However, in Polish homes it is important to do everything by yourself, eg. fish, borsch or different cakes.

which can be prepared four weeks before baking, and then baked three or four days before holiday because the unbaked dough has to mature for at least two weeks in a cool place.

milk but not more then half of a glasshalf of a spoon of salt and two small bags of spicy condiments

( cinnamon, cloves,ginger,cardamon)

We mix all the ingredients by kneading the dough.

After kneading carefully all ingredients make a ball and put it into a pot of stoneware, cover with clear linen cloth and place in a cool room , letting the dough mature slowly for about four weeks.

Then the mature dough should be divided into two or three parts. We roll out the dough and bake on baking-tins.

Cool cakes can be interspersed with layers of plum jam, nut mass or even marchpane mass.

Now we cover the cake with a sheet of paper and put a slate onto top of it.

While keeping the honey- cake cool, it remains fresh for long.
