Every Saturday I focus on a different artist that I admire. From potters to painters, chefs to collectors, seamstress to songwriters, lifestyle to lovers… anyone who set the paintbrush, pastry brush, hands and heart on fire to create.

Those who inspire art to flow where it may… Kwestia Smaku.

Kwestia Smaku is a Polish food blogger. Her blog has thousands of recipes with stunning images, and sneak peeks into her family life.

Kwestia prepares the food for her blog, her husband photographs it, and family and friends eat it. I want to be part of her family and friends, so I do not have to just lick the screen.

Kwestia says, "My kitchen combines a variety of styles, flavors, cooking techniques, spices and methods. Polish cuisine and modern European cuisine, especially Italian cuisine, these themes I like to call my … fusion cuisine.

Kwestia thanks her mother, who taught her how to cook, instilled in her a, "culinary bug." It is and will remain her role model. From an early age she was involved in the preparation of meals for her family, which spiced her desire and talent. Cooking for Kwestia has become a hobby, as it was for her mother, grandfather and sister … 

 The above photo is a Kwestia's family on a picnic, the beginning of any great meals shared.

  1. Everything looks totally delicious! Couldn’t find how to get her blog in English.

  2. Thank you, Corey, for introducing me to another Polish fellow blogger. If I may, the word “Kwestia” translates into English as “the question of” in this case “the question of flavour”. In Polish, the whole phrase “kwestia smaku” is an idiom meaning “to each his own”. For example, if I said (which is true) “I LOVE kale”, another person not so fond of collard greens could say “kwestia smaku”. You could also use this phrase when talking about fashion, interior design, etc. E.g. Corey: “I love old, chipped things” and Brother Mathew’s reply if he spoke Polish 🙂 “kwestia smaku”.

  3. Zosia, I LOVE your comment as well as Corey’s post!

  4. Even though you mention that Kwestia has meat recipes, the examples you post go to show that we vegetarians can eat very well indeed. I weary of being asked if my diet’s limited — HA! — and this demonstrates the potential.
    How did you come across Kwestia’s blog in the first place? I assume thereby hangs a fascinating tale!

  5. Hi Corey, same here, could not find the English version… Vida x

  6. Corey, looks like a great site with wonderful recipes. Is there a way to view it in English? I’m not all that tech-savy, so have no clue. Usually there’s a translate link. Do you read Polish? If so, I’m very impressed! 🙂

  7. Yes, it looks stunning – I also could not find a way to see it in English.

  8. Wow Corey, I can see what you mean about licking the screen. Going to have to try some of these recipes. Yum! (btw, for the English version, copy the website’s url and paste into google search, it will give you a result with the option of translation. Then bookmark the translated page.)

  9. Thank you Peggy. I have it set up automatically to translate any page into English.

  10. A wonderful blog, truly a feast for all the senses – thanks for the introduction, Corey.
    I would also suggest to other commenters that they use Chrome, which automatically offers a translation to English.

  11. Wow, her food shots are amazing!

  12. Actually, she cooks and styles and her husband takes the photos.

  13. I feel full in my stomach and my mind after reading your post.There’s so much to learn here.
