You will learn about what each town is known for, from Warsaw rebuilding the rubble following World War II using old town plans and photographs to Fryderyk Chopin’s birthplace in Żelazowa Wola. The couple returned again and spent a summer on a grand tour through the country (there is a map at the end of the book showing the highlighted cities and route). Photos of the beautifully painted ceiling of Krzeszów Abbey (also the hiding place of the originial score of Mozart’s opera, The Magic Flute) and Samotnia, an old wooden chalet hidden in the Karkonosze Mountains, sit alongside background information about the areas. After moving to Australia, it took 20 years for her to return with her husband. They visited her childhood home and family, Prussian palaces in neighboring villages, and other sights in southern Poland.
Included are photos of a young Zatorska smiling in the kitchen rolling out pierogi dough and playing in the fields. The book begins with memories from Zatorska’s childhood, from picking rose petals at age 5 for her grandmother to turn into Rose Petal Jam (recipe included and recommended as a filling for Pączki- Polish Doughnuts) to foraging the forests with other children for mushrooms for her great-grandmother and retrieving freshly baked bread from the local bakery.
He accompanied Zatorska to Poland and photographed the scenery, dishes, and produce for the book.Ĭhapters are divided based on Zatorska’s time in Poland: Rose Petal Jam (A Polish Childhood), Return of the Stork (Prussian Palaces and the Karkonosze Mountains), and and Summer in Poland (Wroclaw, Poznań, Wielkopolska, Baltic Sea, Gdańsk, Toruń, Warszawa, The Heart of Poland, Zamość, Castles on the Border, Tatra Mountains, Kraków, A New Polis Home). She married Simon Target, a photographer and film maker with several award-winning television documentaries and cooking shows. She now practices family medicine, just like she told her grandmother she would as a young child.
She began studying medicine in Wroclaw before leaving for Australia in 1981 with her immediate family and finished medical school at the University of Sydney.

Even Zatorska’s writing had me imagining that I was sitting next to her experiencing the sights of Poland myself. The couple has also released a second cookbook (that I have not personally seen yet): Sugared Orange: Recipes & Stories from a Winter in Poland.īeata Zatorska was born in the small village of Jelenia Góra in Lower Silesia, Poland where she learned to cook from her grandmother Józefa, a professional chef. Hundreds of photographs are included, from childhood and family memories to gorgeous scenery and buildings taken by Target on their more recent trips. Over 60 traditional, family Polish recipes are spread across 320 quality thick matte pages. In some cases, the same award is given more than once in the same category, which is a result of more than one book receiving the same judging score.Rose Petal Jam: Recipes and Stories from a Summer in Poland, winner of the Best in the World Gourmand World Cookbook Awards 2012, is not only a cookbook, but also a memoir and travelogue from incredibly talented wife and husband authors, Beata Zatorska and Simon Target. This may just be one of the most beautiful cookbooks I have come across. No attention is given to the number of entrants, only the quality of the book being judged. That is because each book is given a score that corresponds to a particular award level. You will notice that not all levels are awarded in each category despite the record number of entries in this year's contest. We offer up to 5 award levels in each category: Gold, Silver, Bronze, Honorable Mention and Award Finalist.

However, we update the manuscript listings when their book is published, so you may see very few manuscript entries as the year progresses. Manuscript entries will not have a review page because they are not currently available for sale. Click on any book cover for a description of the book and a link to its Readers' Favorite review page, which features more information about the book and author as well as links to purchase the book.
