Find out exactly what Polish Club have been cookin’ from their home in Sydney – dressing gowns as all – with these 4 on-point lockdown recipes.
To celebrate Polish Club’s new album Now We’re Cookin’, we thought we’d get you, our readers, cookin’. Fresh from the brain of lead singer Novak, today we’re sharing four Polish Club-approved lockdown recipes to spark up your romance with the kitchen.
Now We’re Cookin’ is the album Polish Club unabashedly wrote last year as a collection of big-room hits. Nothing but hooks, licks, and the special Polish Club sauce. Like those songs, these recipes represent nothing but the best – flavour in its purest forms, fat trimmed, deal sealed.
Enjoy the recipes below in written and video formats – the latter complete with some cheeky previews of tracks you’ll be hearing on Now We’re Cookin’. Take it away, Novak…
