Big fat Pol
Halooo nice people ! I will be cooking a traditional Polish meal "BIG FAT POL " I use absolutely fresh ingredients which come from our local market or directly from our own cottage garden in the countryside outside Krakow ( Marcyporeba ). I enjoy taking the time to cook something really special for my guests, and also spending time sharing my experiences of life in Krakow Life, and finding out about yours!
My favourite flavour has to be that of wild mushrooms. Half of my village is covered with forests, so mushrooms are everywhere, but still very precious. I use them in many different dishes starting with mushroom carpaccio with truffle oil, mushroom soup with sour cream topped with dry porcini, stuffed cabbage with wild mushrooms and groats, kaszotto (a kind of risotto) with... surprise : ) mushrooms, parsnip and parmesan . Despite working with very seasonal products I always find a place for forest mushrooms – each time in a different form.

For the last 12 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 lovely, warm and welcoming, and the whole experience takes place in her home in a very special and cozy atmosphere.
We learned how to make pierogi completely from scratch, including the dough and fillings, and at the end we sat down for a full meal, not just a tasting. Everything was delicious, generous and beautifully prepared.
It was one of the best experiences of our trip to Krakow, both a fun activity and a wonderful meal.
Highly recommended, definitely not to be missed ❤️🥟
A very good and heartwarming cooking class. Can really recommend for others.
What a lovely evening of conversation, learning about Poland culture and making (and eating perogi). The cheesecake was amazing.
We thoroughly enjoyed the experience & learmg about the cuisine. Thank you
This was a wonderful, well organized event. Marta is a beautiful person who welcomed us into her home. We did not leave hungry.
We had a fantastic time with Marta! She is an excellent host, and very knowledgeable about Polish food and culture. One of our best evenings in Krakow!
