The author, with passion and commitment, collected and evoked the old cuisine of Wrocław, creating a unique album of recipes. Cuisine, however understood, does not exist without a broader historical and cultural context. It does not taste so good when we write about past times, without traditions and customs. And above all, without people. Because can there be culinary art without us? Everyone who starts cooking understands this. So what is the essence of the taste of old Wrocław?

After writing this book, for years the author cooked almost everything that we can call Breslau in the kitchen. Starting from the classics, such as Silesian heaven in the mouth (Schlesisches Himmelreich) or Silesian yeast cake with crumble (Schlesischer Streuselkuchen), to specialties so typically Wrocław, such as carp in Lutheran broth (Karpfen in Lutherischer Brhe) and Wrocław bigos with red cabbage (Breslauer Rotkraut). But this book is not just about cooking. After all, Wrocław was called the city of beer, liqueurs, potatoes, dumplings, sausages, knuckles, donuts, gingerbread and coffee in the 19th century.

Therefore, names such as Perini, Kissling, Hansen, Dietrich, Stiebler, places such as the "Świdnicka Cellar" or such a legendary specialty as Nikolaschka in up to 60 variations could not be missing. There could also be no place to describe the phenomenon of the tavern, the climate of sausage stalls, the art of buying meat, the waiters' strike or the taste of Rumford soup. Old Wrocław can be eaten not only on the pages of this book!

The book published by Księży Młyn Dom Wydawniczy has 240 pages, format 243x172 mm and a hardcover. The year of publication is 2024. Ideal for anyone who wants to get to know the taste of old Wrocław and explore its culinary history.
