Traditional Kraków Obwarzanki workshop
Obwarzanki is a special sort of round roll/bagel typical for Kraków city. The history of Obwarzanki dates back to the Middle Ages. One can buy them all around the Old Town in the small mobile stalls. Just choose a favourite sprinkle: salt, sesame, or poppy seeds. I remember when I was a little girl, I would always grab one on my way to school...
Together with my friend Dora, we will teach you how to make Obwarzanki. We will lead you through the process, starting from kneading the dough until the very baking. After that, we will eat them solo, with butter, or with typical Polish, homemade spreads like Awanturka (bryndza - soft sheep cheese with sardines), Twarożek (cottage cheese with radish and cream), and eggs spread.
We will enjoy them together along with a nice cup of coffee or tea!

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.

She answered our many questions and made us all feel at home. And the food (what we made and especially the other dishes she had prepared) was delicious! This was one of the highlights of our your.

The atmosphere was very family-like. Ms. Hanna engaged the entire group in making pierogi. Everyone participated with great enthusiasm. The workshop was held in a wonderful atmosphere, with conversations and anecdotes from the childhoods of both the group and Hanna. Interesting stories about the culinary history of Poland and Krakow were also shared. The closing feast took place in the kitchen where the workshop was held. The tableware was very interesting, and the pierogi dishes were delicious! After all, after such a good lesson, everything had to be delicious, and we were diligent students. And one more thing – the borscht! The red (beetroot) borscht that Ms. Hania served was delicious! Therefore, the culinary workshops led by Ms. Hanna were a hit and I recommend them to everyone!
Dorota
She taught us how to make Vegan pierogies that were absolutely delicious.

Beautiful experience!

Hanna and Coen were excellent hosts. The table was full, but everybody was comfortable. The entire dinner was delicious and the conversation was fun. Hearing stories of Coen's and Paul's (another guest) struggles to learn Polish made us feel less guilty about not learning more Polish words before our trip. Hanna gave us a tip about a stained glass museum and a very good map of the old town area. Paul gave us a tip about WiFi at the bottom of the salt mine - our tour guide didn't tell us about it. The little girls who came with their parents were very good dinner guests. This was a great way to start our visit to Krakow.
