Pierogi Love: New Takes on an Old-World Comfort Food

Casey Barber’s tribute to the pierogi includes everything from the classic Polish cheddar and potato filling to the American-inspired Rueben pierogi and “Santa Fe-rogi,” and even a world tour with falafel and crab Rangoon. Sweet fillings include sour cherry, lemon, fig & goat cheese, Nutella, and PB&J. There’s something for every party and every taste! Each recipe comes with a charming story from Barber’s extensive explorations in pierogi flavors.
