Lynn’s Jaju Pierogi Supplies the Northeast with Traditional Polish Cuisine
Two North Shore sisters turn their love of a traditional Eastern European dumpling into Jaju Pierogi, cranking out thousands of homemade pierogi a week.

The freezer in Vanessa and Casey White’s childhood home was always stocked with pierogi. Their grandfather owned a Polish deli and they grew up in a family that took pride in its Polish heritage. So having the savory dumplings always on hand was just the way things were.
Then the two girls left home, heading to college in the Boston area—Vanessa to Tufts University, Casey a few years later to Bentley University—and discovered that their staple food was not so common among their classmates, many of whom were intrigued by the Whites’ pierogi.
“We were confused,” Casey says.
“We just thought it was completely normal,” Vanessa adds.
