With its intriguing blend of Gothic and Renaissance architecture, Krakow¡¯s town square blanketed in a thick layer of February snow is one of the most beautiful sights I have ever seen. But it¡¯s not for the faint hearted ¨C stinging Siberian winds whip around the buildings and a post-wander warm-up was definitely required. So it¡¯s fortunate that the Poles have comfort food pegged, and bigos (hunter¡¯s stew) is everything you could hope for on a wintry day. Polish kabernos sausage has an amazing, distinctive smoky flavour that makes it the star of this soup, which is roughly based on that classic Polish dish.
