[[File:Edward Pożerski herbu Pomian.jpg|thumb|Edward Pożerski of Clan Pomian (1875–1964), a gastroenterologist and gastronome]]

He was born in 1875 in Paris, in a Polish noble family, and his real name was Edward Pożerski.{{czyt|Edward Pożerski}} His parents were refugees who had fled Poland after the failed anti-Russian uprising of 1863. They sent him to a Polish ~~high~~ school in the French capital, where he was raised as a Polish patriot, but fed rather poorly. He would later write in his memoirs that he was hungry most of his youth. The hunger kept him thinking about food to such an extent that once he had graduated from school, he chose to study gastrointestinal physiology at the university. He became a doctor of medicine in 1902. By that time he had already worked at the Pasteur Institute for a year and this is where he would keep doing research on digestive juices for most of his life.

Some time ago, Prof. Jarosław Dumanowski,{{czyt|Jarosław Dumanowski}} head of the Culinary Heritage Centre at the History Department of the Copernicus University in Toruń, advised me to take interest in the collection of old hand-written recipës held in the archives of the [http://muzeum.jedrzejow.pl/o-nas/zbiory Przypkowski Museum in Jędrzejów.] But wait, I said, isn’t it a museum of sundials?

Yes, the unique collection of sundials, said to be the world’s third largest, is what the museum is best known for. It was the local doctor, Feliks Przypkowski, who started collecting ~~sundials~~ in 1895, a hobby later taken up by his son, Tadeusz Przypkowski.{{czyt|Tadeusz Przypkowski}} Tadeusz, however, a true Renaissance man, didn’t just continue his father’s passion; he also had several of his own. His interests included the histories of art and astronomy, printmaking and bromoil photography, bibliophilia and bookplates, heraldry and numismatics… as well as the enjoyment of good food and drink.

Before World War II, Tadeusz Przypkowski obtained his PhD in art history at the Jagiellonian University in Cracow and followed his studies with extensive travels (including to Germany, Italy, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, England, Spain, Portugal, North Africa, the Balkan Peninsula, Norway and Estonia). Back in Poland, he got a job as a cultural propaganda specialist – first in Cracow and later in Warsaw. Back then, the word “propaganda” didn’t yet carry the negative connotation it does today; think of it as equivalent to “promotion” or “public relations”. His duties as a cultural propagandist in Cracow included showing high-ranking foreign visitors around the historic monuments of Poland’s former capital (he even had the questionable honour of serving as a tourist guide to Josef Goebbels, the German Minister of Propaganda). Eventually, once the war broke out, he settled down back home in Jędrzejów{{czyt|Jędrzejów}} – a small town on the road from Kielce{{czyt|Kielce}} to Cracow – but still kept in touch with numerous interesting people in various countries, especially in France. “I am to be found either in Paris,” he was fond of saying, “or in Jędrzejów.”<ref>{{Cyt

When it comes to dinners held in Jędrzejów, we need not even guess. Tadeusz Przypkowski’s son had this to say about his father’s culinary prowess:
