Polish baking rediscovered: With The Poland Baking Book, internationally renowned baker Laurel Kratochvila invites readers on a pleasurable journey through the diverse baking traditions of Poland. Across more than 100 sweet and savory recipes, she combines traditional craftsmanship with personal memories of her Polish Jewish roots.

The selection of recipes ranges from rustic kefir bread and Kraków poppy seed bagels to beetroot bialys and refined pastries such as walnut babka, Warsaw cream slices, a meringue cake with grapefruit cream, or a lemony blackberry karpatka. The collection is complemented by Jewish specialties like hamantaschen and rugelach, which hold an important place in Polish baking culture.

Each recipe is embedded in a cultural and personal context, bringing the stories behind the baked goods to life. High-quality photography and atmospheric impressions from Poland accompany the recipes and add depth to the book. The result is a baking book that convincingly combines tradition with a contemporary sensibility.

The Poland Baking Book is for everyone who wants to experience the full diversity of Polish cuisine in an authentic way.

Laurel Kratochvila

Laurel Kratochvila is the founder of Fine Bagels, a Berlin bakery specializing in Jewish baking traditions and now a well-established part of the city’s food scene. Originally from the United States, she has lived in Europe for many years and found her way to bread in an unusual manner: through detours, late-night walks across Prague, and an early fascination with the diversity of European bread cultures.

Laurel completed her formal training in France, where she learned the foundations of classic baking craftsmanship. Today, she works not only as a baker but also as a culinary consultant, food stylist, and expert on Jewish food culture.

Her work brings together tradition, craft, and storytelling. With every bagel, loaf, and pastry, she builds on Europe’s rich culinary heritage and shows how deeply bread can shape identity. In Berlin, she has created a vibrant space where all of this comes together.
