Description: Anna D. Jaroszyńska-Kirchmann explores the surprising history of pierogi, tracing how Polish cuisine evolved amid the multiethnic landscape of the United States
Review Quotes: We now know that pierogi have a history, deep and rich, global in its reach, a reflection of Polish history in multiple places. They should be understood as an element fundamentally embedded in the history of a people, both at home and abroad. Pierogi will occupy likewise a well-deserved place in the literature on food and migration and on particular dishes as embodiments of history and culture.--Hasia R. Diner, author of Hungering for America: Italian, Irish, and Jewish Foodways in the Age of Migration
