Pierogi Love

Book excerpt: Explores the possibilities of pierogies with the editor of the website Good. Food. Stories. and this array of recipes. This tasty tribute to the pierogi takes a familiar wrapping and stuffs it with a host of unconventional, innovative, and decidedly non-traditional fillings. With 60 sweet and savory recipes that include everything from the classic Polish cheddar and potato offerings to American-inspired Reuben pierogies and fried apple pie-rogies to worldly fillings like falafel and Nutella, there's a pierogi for every party and every palate! Each recipe comes with a charming story from Barber's extensive explorations in pierogi flavors. “What I adore about Pierogi Love is that it does for pierogies what my blog has done for cupcakes—it pushes the boundaries of pierogies. The book begins by sharing a basic savory and a basic sweet pierogi dough and detailing assembly, cooking, and storage procedures. Then, it moves on to the fillings. This is where the book gets fun!”—Stefani Pollack, writer & recipe developer, Cupcake Project “I must say these pierogies are a great option to have available at your holiday festivities.”—Kristina Gill, food & drinks editor, Design Sponge, and author of Tasting Rome
