Culinary Historians of New York: The Pierogi Problem

Presented by the Culinary Historians of New York

When you think about Polish food, what’s the first word that comes to mind? Is it pierogi? Even at a time when exchanges of culinary influence seem to leap across hemispheres at the speed of light, why are multitudes of sophisticated food lovers in the United States unable to name even one other typical Polish dish?

Fabio Parasecoli will discuss Poland’s culinary identity crisis and the lively debates about how to solve it. And we’ll taste examples of various approaches to a remarkable cuisine that for too long has been looked on as “undiscovered.”

Food will be served!
