L'autore:

Elena Makhonko was born in Leningrad/St Petersburg and learned to prepare Russian food from her grandmother who read cookery books to her, and her mother who was a skilled cook. Elena and her mother and grandmother still enjoy cooking together whenever they can. Elena moved to Sweden in the 1980s, and for her first 10 years there worked in the fashion industry before beginning a new career in Stockholm's biggest test kitchen. Elena has cooked food with celebrities including Roger Moore and Swedish president Goran Persson. Elena has more recently written for various food magazines and has also published several books about food. She cooks and styles food for photography and has also worked in Swedish television, and appears regularly on the popular program Good Evening. Ewa Michalik jointly owns and runs the Patio Restaurant, one of the oldest and most successful Polish restaurants in London, which has been extremely favourably reviewed by, among others, Waitrose Food Illustrated and The Independent. Having been a guest on a recent broadcast on BBC Radio 5's Sunday morning show, Ewa has also spoken about beetroot on BBC Radio 4's Veg Talk and prepared traditional dishes for various BBC programmes on eastern European cooking. Ewa attributes her love of food to her mother, with whom she spent many hours preparing meals in her childhood in Grybow in the Carpathian mountains. Today, Ewa still cooks many of the traditional recipes learned in her youth. Consistently disproving the cliche that Polish food is stodgy and dull by serving her many customers light, fresh and delicious classics, Ewa has done much to advance the popularity of Polish food in Britain.
