As the catering business grew, they decided to delve into the dishes and old time recipes of their heritage, and Nancy created a delicious pierogi dough and fillings to add to their repertoire.  She named them after Dave's middle name, and so Stash's Pierogis was born.  They won Best in Ohio the first time they entered a contest, and soon upscale markets, restaurants, hotels and vegetarian food outlets began clamoring for the product.  The ethnic food demand started there, and Dave & Nancy began to create recipes for their all-handmade products -- this comfort food could truly be called Polish soul food.  They began to sell their pierogis through the internet and food distribution channels. 
 

Babushka's Kitchen is the culmination of a dream by Dave & Nancy Abramowski, originally from the Slavic Village neighborhood in Cleveland, Ohio.  After leaving their corporate careers through downsizing, the couple found themselves with three children in college and little income. They began their culinary quest as caterers in the Kent area, with their assignments ranging from personal chefs who served couples breakfasts in bed for special occasions to catering for movie shoots from major film studios who came to Cleveland, to MTV music videos, and then corporate catering, weddings and everything in between.
