In the heart of Warsaw, where cobblestone streets meet sleek skyscrapers, there’s always a story waiting to be discovered — especially through its cuisine. As part of Radisson Collection’s Taste of Heritage Series, Radisson Collection Hotel, Warsaw, invites guests to discover an iconic dish steeped in history that once graced the tables of Poland’s finest feasts: Goose.  Photo credits: Radisson Collection Hotel, Warsaw St. Martin’s Goose: From Past to Plate  Poland’s long-standing love affair with geese boasts a rich history. Many years ago, Warsaw’s market was a veritable sea of feathers, overflowing with millions of these birds destined for far-flung corners of the globe. To prepare them for these arduous journeys, ingenious Polish farmers developed a unique system of foot protection, perhaps making them the first well-shod ingredient in history. This deep-rooted connection to geese culminated in a special celebration on St. Martin’s Day, the feast day of the patron saint of winemakers and geese. Legend has it that St. Martin, to avoid being made bishop, hid in a stable filled with geese. Their noisy honking betrayed him, forever linking his name to these feathery creatures. Traditionally, Polish families honored St. Martin’s Day with hearty goose feasts. This date also coincides with the celebration of Polish Independence, making goose the perfect dish to enjoy when visiting Poland’s capital city. Today, chefs across Poland are bringing goose back to the table. At Nokto, the elegant restaurant at Radisson Collection Hotel, Warsaw, Chef Krzysztof Bogucki is leading this culinary revival with a dish that pays homage to Poland’s storied past. Mastering the Art of Goose at Nokto  As part of Radisson Collection ‘Taste of Heritage’ series, guests are invited to try this traditional goose dish for themselves. Until the end of April 2025, Chef Krzysztof and his team will be serving their take on the Polish classic, along with all the trimmings, welcoming diners to journey through Poland’s rich history, one flavor at a time. At Nokto, preparing goose is more than cooking—it’s a meticulous process celebrating techniques passed down through generations. Each bite reflects the care and tradition of Polish cooking, but with Chef Krzysztof’s personal twist and modern flare, has reimagined this local staple and transformed the dish into a fine dining experience. Chef Krzysztof has perfected his take on goose over the years, brining with allspice and bay leaves, stuffing the bird with apples, oranges and marjoram, slow roasting for over 3 hours and making a rich sauce from scratch with drippings and white wine. The limited time goose dish will be on the Nokto menu until the end of April and comes served with all the traditional Polish sides including potato dumplings, boiled potatoes with parsley, red cabbage with apples and wine and the goose sauce.
