Deep roots.
An open table.
Sendewicz is an English-language journal for people who love the things that take a little time: pickled fish, good sausage, wine, cultured dairy and a garden of their own.
It starts with herring.
A jar of pickled herring can open a whole world: a Polish holiday table, a Dutch harbour, a Baltic smoking shed, a Black Sea market. We’re here for the details—the names, the regional differences, the small makers, the histories and the practical knowledge.
Poland and Ukraine at the heart.
Our roots are in Polish and Ukrainian traditions, with a particular curiosity about Ukraine’s Black Sea coast, Odesa and Bessarabia. The table extends through Eastern and Western Europe, Russia, Scandinavia, the Baltic and the wider world.
Bring it into your own kitchen.
Every story has a practical thread: how to learn the method, what to ask for in a shop, which ingredients matter, or where to look next. Readers in Canada, the United States and anywhere else are welcome.
The journal uses AI to research and write original English summaries with direct source attribution. Our editorial approach explains the limits and the source notebook shows the publications behind the work. We’re starting without advertising.
