Polish culinary traditions and literary adaptations

A traditional Polish recipe for pickled beets features the use of a full 20g sachet of ground cumin per 3kg of beets and 1kg of onions. This method, similar to traditions in the Kociewie region of northern Poland, uses ground cumin to provide a consistent spice profile without the texture of whole seeds.

In the realm of culture, author Robert Małecki discussed the adaptation of his work into the series ‘Zmora’. The production, filmed in Toruń, follows a journalist returning to her hometown and becoming involved in an investigation into a childhood disappearance. Małecki credited screenwriter Kacper Wysocki for the script's quality, noting that the series effectively blurs the lines between past and present.
