Depending on what I am making, I have this cookbook which I use to make pierogies and babka (still wanting to try a lot of the other recipes). Just be aware that this book has great recipes, but about half the book is also information about Polish culture and traditions.
Other than that I always to seem to find myself back at allrecipes. Reading the recipe and then the reviews gives me a good idea on how it will turn out and if any modifications need to be made.

It's a Polish cookbook. I really miss my grandparents (second parents, really), they've been gone for some time now. My grandpa was Polish and though my gram is irish/portuguese, she learned how to make many traditional polish dishes from her mother in law. I miss her pierogies and galumpkis. I moved from NY to FL several years ago and somehow lost all of the recipes she gave me... this will fill the void when I pick it up. There isn't an ebook version, but that's ok.
Glad to hear you got this figured out! I actually just bought a Polish cookbook that I think is the closest thing I'll get to my grandma's (famously lost, of course) pierogi recipe. If you want to try an authentic paczki recipe, one of these might be a good place to start... My coworkers have been asking if it's paczki season yet, so I'll probably try one myself. http://i.imgur.com/1ZMQzqo.jpg
My mom passed away in 2004. When cleaning out her house I found the original version of this book.

In the orig book from like the 1950s/1960s, I saw a recipie called Beggars Cake. It's a cake made from a ton of cake batter that is ladelled on a cone-shaped spit roasting over a fire and built up in layers.
When a beggar comes by, you would give them a healthy slice to eat while you talk with them a while so they rest while they eat and another to take with them for the road when you wish them well.
The recipie starts out with something like "150 eggs. But for a lighter version use only 100 eggs..." Doing it from memory. Made me laugh through my surprise at the recipe. But it did sound like an awesome recipe.
Might want to find a modern version to try on a smaller scale of course. Even bake a few or even a few dozen of your fav baked goods like cookies, cupcakes, etc., individually wrap them, and drop them off at your nearest homeless shelter or domestic violence shelter/home. I'm sure they'd be very appreciative to get some sweet treats like that.
Either that or lots of creme brulee!
Good luck!
