Private Pierogi classes
Private pierogi classes will take place in the cosy interior of my house.
We will chat about Kraków stories and tales while folding pierogi. Pierogi is the best-known Polish dish, and you can find it in almost every Polish restaurant around the city. But I believe that the ones made at home are the best ones. With all sorts of fillings, melted butter, and caramelised onion topping, they will just melt in your mouth.
What you'll cook
We will learn how to make: uszka, the Christmas version of pierogi; they are folded a bit differently and stuffed with mushrooms. We will enjoy them with a Polish speciality: fermented red beet soup - barszcz. For the main dish, we will make my favourite pierogi ruskie with the addition of smoked cheese, caramelised onion, and melted butter on top. To make this meal wholesome, you will try a typical Polish dessert, which is cake!
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to know how to cook? +
No - this is built for first-timers. If you've never made dough in your life, you'll still leave with proper pierogi. Cooks who already know their way around a kitchen pick up a few traditional Polish moves that aren't in any cookbook.
Do you offer a vegan version? +
Yes - if you let me know when you book I'll prep the vegan filling (tofu and a splash of sauerkraut brine in place of the curd cheese). The dough, soup, sides and dessert can all run dairy-free too. Same flavours, plant-based.

Cooking has always been in my house something more than just food.The heart of the house has always been the kitchen, in which we would sit with my beloved to share food, stories, everyday problems, and happiness. A home without the smell of tasty pie, hot soup, and a welcoming smile just isn't a real one.I would like to introduce you to Polish cuisine, which, I believe, is still not well-discovered. The second great passion that I would like to share with you is Polish art and culture, and my knowledge about my hometown, Kraków. I will share some stories and tips about the city if you like. I will be happy to welcome you to my house.

We had a 3 course meal and everything was homemade - we were able to took some pierogies home. We had small group and nice company.
All in all would definitely recommend :)
Przyjemne zajęcia z gotowania- dobry sposób na spędzenie czasu i nauczenie się czegoś nowego:) atmosfera jest przyjazna i nawet, gdyby ktoś przyszedłby sam to nie będzie problemu, żeby się odnaleźć i poznać nowe ciekawe osoby z różnych miejsc na świecie.
Hanna was very nice and friendly. The atmosphere was very pleasant. Overall, the cooking class was great fun. We highly recommend it :-)

Very welcoming and wholesome experience. Went into this as someone who is normally quite shy, but immediately felt at ease. Hanna is absolutely wonderful and very accommodating. Me and my partner had a very pleasant experience. Afterwards we walked slowly back to the town centre which took about 1.5h which was very scenic and beautiful and gave us a chance to burn off all the beautiful food we ate. Thank you Hanna
Thank you for accomidating me as a gluten intolerant person who was comfortable cooking around gluten cross contamination. The dough you prepared for me was incredible.
What a wonderful experience making pierogis with Hanna! I learned so much from her. Her home is very charming and she is a patient and kind teacher. The pierogis were delicious. This is a must do when you are in Poland! Highly recommend!!
