Amsterdam's Pierogi Polish Dumplings Sonia Magdalena Kolasinska

What is it like to start a business with your mom? Is making five hundred dumplings in a small, Amsterdam kitchen possible? How long does it take to break into tears when everything goes wrong at your first pop-up dinner? If you're taking your first steps in the food industry, this book is for you. Hopefully, you can learn from our experiences and mishaps. Or maybe you're into artisanal food with an authentic story behind it? We're proud to include recipes of the dishes we made for the food markets, pop-up dinners, and charity events. Some of them are traditionally Polish, while some are our own creative inventions. But most of all, this book is a love letter to Amsterdam and all the amazing people who make this city what it is. We are forever grateful to all market participants and organisers, café and restaurant owners, and all of you who joined us on any part of our adventure.
