Professional boozehound, chef and author Benny Roff wasn?t always a vodka fan. It could be said that he took the long road in his appreciation of both vodka and Polish cuisine. We chat to Benny about his new book Borsch, Vodka and Tears: Food to Drink With, and share three recipes: Bison and Apple, Potato Blintzes/Placki Ziemniaczane, and Polish Dumplings/Pierogi.
