Challah Baking Class + meal
Poles and Jews shared one land for over 1,000 years, and the extraordinary influence these two different cultures had on each other can be experienced through their shared recipes. Icons of Polish cuisine are also mainstays of Jewish cooking, and in this class we will concentrate on making the famous challah bread, as well as tasting some other important dishes. The class is a hands-on experience, showing each stage in detail, as well as discussing the historical roots from which the recipe comes. All in all, the class takes around 3 hours, and participants will be able to leave with their own home-baked challah!

For the last 5 years, I have been teaching people how to cook delicious food at my home, and I also run food workshops such as the Pierogi Power Workshop, Fermentation Workshop and more. Recently I was the host of a big food event for The Krakow Pierogi Festival and Harvest Festival. (I also appear regularly on TV and radio as a guest, discussing subjects related to home cooking, the sharing economy and food tech.) I’ve always enjoyed sharing my knowledge of my beautiful hometown, and more about the art of Polish cuisine, both through the website and with all the wonderful travellers I meet in person.My grandmother and my mother were great cooks. That means delicious, home-made food freshly-prepared.Restaurants are great, but sometimes it seems it would be better to enjoy a home-cooked meal with someone who can also tell me a bit more about their experiences, their lives and their cities. So, I’ve decided to do exactly that. I cook for up to 14 people at my home in Krakow and you’re invited. Please join me!

We thoroughly enjoyed our lesson with Marta. Not only were her instructions excellent, but the results were great, and the additional food items served with our pierogi were a nice surprise! Her kitchen alone is worth a visit! Her price for the class is very fair and reasonable.

Wonderful experience for a traveller seeking real food experiences
What a lovely way to lunch and learn in Krakow! Marta is an excellent teacher and chef. We learned to make 3 different kinds of pierogi and then she served us a delicious soup, the pierogis and homemade bread and cheesecake. Oh, did I mention the vodka???
Marta was a very accommodating host and great at explaining all the steps to making delicious pierogi. Very enjoyable few hours- thank you
Amazing experience!
