Dear Friends,

I will be in NY (Manhattan) in the second half of December.
If by chance some of you are there, we could have a coffee together.

Best,
Elzbieta

Elzbieta,
I would join you if I didn't live at 1600 kilometers away. I always appreciate reading what you have to add to conversations. Do you have family there that you will be visiting? Have a wonderful trip!

Cheri,
Thank you very much for your nice words.
Yes, I have family in NY, my elder daughter and her family.
If by chance you plan to travel to Europe and stop in Paris, please let me know - I would be delighted to have a coffee with you.
Best,

Reply with quote

Request to the US friends:

What cheese do you use to make pierogi? The only option I know (and have been practicing) is Philadelphia cream cheese; however it's not like Polish Bialy Twarog (something which consistency is similar to Greek Feta from cow milk).

I am asked to do some pierogi tomorrow morning. Your help is much appreciated.

Best,
Elzbieta

My grandmother always used cottage cheese, I think. Although to be honest, I was more interested in eating them, than watching her make them Smile

In my "Treasured Polish Recipes for Americans" cookbook, the cheese used for pierogi is cottage cheese.

I've attached a scan of the pierogi cookbook page. There are two variants of the cheese filling shown.

Elzbieta,

A grammar school classmate of my brother, Barbara Rolek, has an internet site about Polish cooking (www.easteuropeanfood.about.com) with a lot of recipies for pierogi with various fillings. She recommends using dry curd cottage cheese or farmers cheese. I know her and she is a good cook and everything she has made which I have tasted was excellent. I see her every now and again at my cousin Diane's house for parties. Anyway, I don't think you can go wrong with either the cottage cheese or the farmers cheese.

What happened to "Gosc w domu, Pan Bog w domu"? or would New Yorkers ask Pan Bog to cook for them?

Dear Friends!

I will try cottage cheese - Google pictures let me think it's a good choice, and if it's too moist I will dry it.

Dave,
Re: What happened to "Gosc w domu, Pan Bog w domu"? or would New Yorkers ask Pan Bog to cook for them?

That "Gosc w dom" was true in the mid of XX century. Today you have brunches, nutrition programs, and all that stuff. What is nice is that we love to cook together.

I am delighted they ask for pierogi, because I can do it, I know my Mom receipe by heart. My only problem has always been cheese. There is no bialy ser in France, the closest thing is Philadelphia cream cheese, so in France I am doing my own one with so called faisselle (82% of humidity, need 48 hours to dry a little - it's almost like making your own cheese with cow milk).
I figured out that one should be able to get a correct cheese in the US, therefore my question.

Yet another story is a French-Polish compromise for a Xmas eve dinner, which we will apply tomorrow in NY. The main course will be a stuffed caplon (chapon) we managed to buy in Italy market. My younger daughter is a master cook for that dish (stuffed with various meat and chestnuts).

Best,
Elzbieta
