About this event

RSVP to attend In-store! Register for Livestream! Pittsburgh and Pierogies have a rich, delicious history! We are so thrilled to host Anna D. Jaroszyńska-Kirchmann at The Whale to celebrate her new book, Pierogi: An American Story of Polish Food! Interweaving academic research, cookbooks, interviews with culinary experts, ethnographic observations, and personal memories, Pierogi is perfect for foodies, historians, and proud Pittsburghers! Anna D. Jaroszyńska-Kirchmann will be joined in conversation by local writer and dear friend of White Whale Andrew Moore. Today, pierogi are the most recognizable Polish food in the United States and a symbol of Polish American identity. How did this humble dish attain such lofty status? Anna D. Jaroszyńska-Kirchmann explores the surprising history of pierogi, tracing how Polish cuisine evolved in the multiethnic landscape of the United States. When Polish immigrants crossed the ocean, they brought with them their traditional cuisine, which came to signify enduring attachment to homeland, family, religion, and culture. In time, they as well as new generations and new immigrant waves gradually transformed Polish American culinary culture, reflecting food trends and changes in the United States, Poland, and the world. Pierogi takes readers into the kitchens where Polish American families, friends, and community organizations carry on the custom of cooking and eating together. Jaroszyńska-Kirchmann highlights small- and large-scale pierogi prod
