Doughnate
Let’s keep this sweet tradition alive! For the eighth time, we are going to prepare huge amounts of doughnuts - as always we'll be cooking at the Children's Home at Parkowa 12 in Krakow - to celebrate Fat Thursday – one of our favourite Polish traditions.
Have you ever tried to make your own doughnuts? How about 2000 of them? Many of our cooks, including Konrad, Gosia, Cyna, Aga, Weruszka and Gregory have accepted the challenge of cooking through the night to have them ready as fresh as can be the next day!
Like last year, every single one of our doughnuts holds a very special meaning. When you order a box of doughnuts for yourself, you will be raising money for the Children's Home in Parkowa. Everything you pay will go towards building a new garden for the very youngest children at the home. This new garden is next door to Parkowa 12 (where we built the original garden)
How it works:
1. You can order as many boxes of fresh doughnuts as you want (each box is 8 doughnuts).
2. On Thursday 16th of February, you are welcome to come over and collect them (between 6am and 12 midday) from the Children's Home at Parkowa 12 and say hi! If you order 10 boxes or more we will be glad to deliver them to you in Krakow for free if you prefer.

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!
