The World Food Travel Day, which will take place online on 18 April, has prompted us to look for the best local recipes among people we know and respect. Today, we are presenting a recipe for Kashubian crayfish soup with puff pastry, inspired by the recipe of the eminent French chef Paul Bocuse. The soup will be prepared by Marcin Popielarz, the head chef of the Biały Królik restaurant. The video of the cooking session will be available on the World Travel Association’s Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/worldfoodtravel) on 18 April.
