In 1858, she published her first book Jedyne praktyczne przepisy wszelkich zapasów spiżarnianych oraz pieczenia ciast (The only practical compendium of recipes for all household stocks and pastry).

[citation needed] In 1860 she published another cookbook 365 obiadów za pięć złotych (365 dinners for 5 zlotys).

Her weight (more than 130 kilograms) and haughtiness gained her a nickname of Ćwierciakiewiczowa, an allusion to the Polish word ćwierć meaning a quarter.

Since 1875, Ćwierczakiewiczowa devoted herself to preparing a yearly publication for women named Kolęda dla Gospodyń.

It was a calendar filled with cooking recipes, women's suffrage propaganda and short novels and poems.
