The debut cookbook from Polish-born supper club host Wojtek van Portek celebrates the culinary traditions of his home country combined with the flavors of his adopted city of London.

"This book is about bridging two worlds, honoring the memory of my grandmother's Polish flavors while embracing London's vibrant food culture. I want it to be a testament of my journey from Polish village garden to tiny East London kitchen, where pierogi meets proper British ingredients, and where my grandmother's spirit lives on in every recipe, whether traditional or updated with new flavors I know she would approve." Wojtek van Portek

In his debut cookbook supper club host Wojtek van Portek offers more than 100 recipes inspired by his Polish childhood and the flavors of his adopted home city of London. Covering everything from pickles and preserves to classic one-pot dishes, sweet bakes to cocktails the focus is on making the most of the ingredients to hand and keep it simple. Wojtek's trademark use of vintage tableware, pattern and color is showcased in his vibrant photography.

Wojtek van Portek grew up in Poland in the 1980s, learning from his grandmother in the countryside her traditional techniques of cooking and how to tend a vegetable garden - and why making a meal can be a simple yet generous act.

In 2010 Wojtek moved to London to finish his studies in fashion and political science. Although he was working with some of fashion's biggest names, like Condé Nast as a fashion coordinator and Burberry as a stylist, he never stopped inventing recipes that combined his Polish heritage with London's global cuisines. While working as global head of styling at fashion brand Reiss, he launched his Wojtek's Bistro supper club from his East London flat. It started as a homage to his upbringing, mixed with an elegant London sensibility, and acquired a cult following, attracting journalists, artists and fashion-industry executives through his @vanportek Instagram account.

Now a freelance brand consultant, creative director and stylist, Wojtek continues to host what may be London's most unexpected supper club. Wojtek's Bistro is his first book.
