Polish Cooking Masterclass
Hello I'm Marta , I started this project "Eataway" ten years ago here in Krakow. Join me for a five-hour masterclass and learn how to prepare a full Polish feast! Dishes include the famous Polish pierogi, stuffed with wild mushroom, meat, or potatoes and butter and sage sauce. We'll also learn how to make red borscht (barszcz) or sour rye soup (żurek), cabbage rolls (gołąbki), and my own special Krakow style cheesecake with seasonal forest fruits, or Polish apple pie. Apart from learning how to make delicious Polish food, you will also have a great time just finding out a bit more about Poland and what it is to live like here in Krakow. There is plenty of food to enjoy, as well as some drinks (we'll learn how to make the famous Polish compote or 'kompot' as well). I look forward to welcoming you to my home.... and here are some very kind words from Marcia who joined me for one of my recent cooking masterclasses :
"5* Class and 5* Experience
If you are traveling to Poland, you MUST treat yourself to this class in Polish cuisine. Multiple dishes are covered from pierogis to bigos, zurek, red borscht, salata and Polish cheesecake. Class time was 5+ hours and very reasonably priced.
Our class was in Marta's kitchen in Krakow and it was one of the most enjoyable days I have ever had traveling. Marta puts her heart and soul into serving her guests. Her knowledge of Polish cuisine is extensive. She naturally ferments her cabbage, beets and other vegetables and is eager to instruct you in how to do this in your own home.
There is lots of hands-on time in this class. We had the opportunity to roll out the dough, stuff and seal the pierogis. In addition to covering the Polish recipes, we sipped on various homemade vodkas made from various fruits. We learned as much about Polish culture, important events to consider attending in Krakow, as we did Polish cuisine.
So, reader, please know that this class is not just about a few nice Polish recipes, it is about learning much more about Poland and making the best of your time in Poland. Eataway is a wonderful concept and a great way to learn more about Poland, Polish history, culture and of course, its wonderful cuisine."

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!

Marta is so cool. Pierogi’s were delicious, she also provided borscht and a cooked cabbage salad. Oh and she also baked a cake to share while we were there. All delicious. Class was nicely organized and welcoming. I definitely feel like I have the knowledge and experience to make pierogis at home now. Marta knows not only about pierogis but all Polish foods and spoke with us about fermentation. It was a great experience.

My husband and I had the best time with Marta. I am half Polish and other than my paternal Polish Grandfather, nobody in my entire family cooked. Therefore they didn’t do a very good job of passing down recipes and techniques to me who loves cooking. Our class with Marta was like cooking with my sup...
My husband and I had the best time with Marta. I am half Polish and other than my paternal Polish Grandfather, nobody in my entire family cooked. Therefore they didn’t do a very good job of passing down recipes and techniques to me who loves cooking. Our class with Marta was like cooking with my super cool Polish aunt. She filled so many gaps between myself and my heritage that I can now pass down to any kids I have and that is priceless. She is the so kind, her apartment is so welcoming, and learning from her will forever be a highlight of my life. Thank you Marta!
