Ferment Fest
Let’s celebrate the last days of summer, together! This time, we’ll do something more than a picnic, but it’ll be loads of fun as well! It’s time to unite again - under a flag of Fermentation Workshop for that day. Let us take you for a trip to the world of fermentation. Once you start, you hardly stop but don’t worry, there’s three of us to guide you and we all love to pickle and experiment.
Who’s hosting the workshop?
Mira - you’ve probably tried her kimchi, haven’t you? Korean pickles welcome on board!
Bożena Stawicka. Fermentation is her true calling, she almost literally pickles everything edible. You name it and Bożena probably pickled that already. :)
Marta, the Polish-not-Polish kiszonki master. Expect the unexpected!
The workshop is just a reason to meet together. Is there a better way to spend last days of winter than in Marcyporęba Forest ?

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 was a very accommodating host and great at explaining all the steps to making delicious pierogi. Very enjoyable few hours- thank you
Amazing experience!
We had a great time with Marta. We had our kids with us and Marta made sure they felt included and had a good time. Highly recommend!
Really terrific workshop with Marta. We enjoyed meeting our fellow travels and making pierogies. Marta also gave us a slice of the most delicious cheesecake. Highly recommend to all.
The most delicious food and fun we’ve had on a trip! 8yrs later and we still talk about it.
Not sure why this review request came through to my email in 2026 when I did this workshop in 2018. However, I have the most wonderful memory of the fun evening shared with a partner and two good friends, the other workshop attendees and Marta. We all felt so warm and welcomed into Marta's home...

It was a wonderful experience with the most delicious food! We learnt a lot, it was hands on cooking and extras like trying various flavoured vodkas was incredibly fun. Thank you for a memory that even today I smile in my heart when I think about it. Lisa :)
