Recipes for Polish special-occasion foods such as pierogi, poppy seed rolls or honey cakes aren't difficult to find. Most Polish cookbooks include a section on holiday foods.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Recipe Cards
  • Cooking Magazines
  • File Folders
  • Index Cards
  1. Step 1

    Research Polish holiday customs, and learn what foods are traditionally served. The main Christmas meal is a 12-course meatless feast served on Christmas Eve (see 'How to Prepare a Traditional Polish Christmas Eve Dinner'); for Easter, you'll want to know how to make the rich cakes called babas and the hunter's cabbage-and-sausage stew known as bigos.

  2. Step 2

    Ask Polish-Americans you know to share their family recipes.

  3. Step 3

    Search the Internet for international recipe sites.

  4. Step 4

    Look for Polish cookbooks in the international cookbook section of your local library and bookstores.

  5. Step 5

    Scour flea markets, antique malls, garage sales and used bookstores for older, out-of-print Polish cookbooks.

  6. Step 6

    Compile a folder with favorite recipes you have tried along with your notes about making the various dishes. This information will come in handy when it's time to prepare holiday menus.
