Zuza Zak calls herself a Storyteller-cook and has published four recipe and culture books – Polska (2016, Quadrille), Amber&Rye (2020, Murdoch), Pierogi (2022, Quadrille) and Slavic Kitchen Alchemy (2023, Watkins).
Her books have been translated into Polish, German, Dutch, French and Hungarian. Zuza learnt the arts of cooking and foraging from her Polish grandmothers and is passionate about passing that knowledge on to her own children. Zuza lives by the sea with her two daughters, her partner, their two cats, four chickens and three aquariums of fish. She spends her free time in the garden, trying to grow vegetables.
“I cannot thank Isy enough for her utter belief in my first book, ‘Behind The Gloss,’ from the moment she met me and for holding my hand on this new journey. Not only that, but before I could take a breath there was another book deal on the table. I had two books published in 2023 and I have two new books publishing in 2025 and 2026.”
