"Tastes of Gdansk. Authentically" book
What did historic Gdansk taste like? The answer lies not in faithfully recreated historical recipes, but in the creative interpretations of today’s chefs. That is exactly what Tastes of Gdansk. Authentically offers - a unique publication that brings together the city’s culinary heritage and a contemporary approach to cooking.
Twenty chefs, countless culinary stories
Twenty acclaimed chefs connected with Gdansk were invited to co-create the book. Their task was not to recreate 19th-century recipes, but to develop original dishes inspired by the city’s history. The result is a culinary story imagining what Gdansk cuisine might look like today if its multicultural past met contemporary creativity.
Each recipe reflects the individual style of its author. The chefs draw inspiration from traditional flavours while using modern techniques, seasonal ingredients and their own unique perspectives. This diversity is an intentional part of the publication, showing just how many different forms a cuisine inspired by Gdansk can take.
More than a cookbook
"Tastes of Gdansk. Authentically" is much more than a collection of recipes. It is a beautifully designed publication, filled with stunning photography and crafted with exceptional attention to detail. Whether you're looking for culinary inspiration or a thoughtful gift for someone who loves great food, design and Gdansk, this book is an excellent choice.
Where can you buy the book?
The book will be available during St. Dominic’s Fair at the Visit Gdansk stand. It is also available in the Visit Gdansk online shop and at the Souvenirs by Visit Gdansk store. The publication is part of the Tastes of Gdansk project, which has been encouraging people for years to discover the city's culinary heritage through contemporary cuisine.
