Pierogi making and Christmas parties for small groups at my kitchen in Salwator. This is a great idea for an office party in a cozy home atmosphere… with a glass of mulled wine in hand, we can make Christmas pierogi together, and learn (and taste!) more about the traditional Polish Christmas. Together let’s make the world’s best barszcz and have some fun. Workshop + supper + drinks (minimum group size 6, maximum group size 15).

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!
Very enjoyable morning learning how to make pierogi with a skilled tutor. I would highly recommend.

Marta was an incredible host & cook to our group. I would highly recommend to anyone interested in the art of pierogi making!
Marta was absolutely amazing! Had a great time and learnt something new!
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.

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!
