The cooks who host in Kraków: grandmothers who learned pierogi from their grandmothers, twenty-somethings reinterpreting their mum's recipes, a couple of professional chefs who got bored of restaurant kitchens. Most live around Kazimierz or Stare Miasto. A few are out toward Salwator. Everyone teaches in their own home, with their own equipment.
Book a couple of days ahead. Kraków weekends fill up in spring and autumn. If you're vegan or have allergies, message the cook before booking. Almost all of them adapt their menus, but they need to know what to shop for.

“Wonderful experience for a traveller seeking real food experiences ”
Kraków is a serious food city you can cross on foot. Three different neighbourhoods in a single day, no bus needed.
The old town's worth a walk for the architecture; the best food is elsewhere. Fifteen minutes south sits Kazimierz, the old Jewish quarter, where most of the interesting cooks actually live and work. Plac Nowy at lunchtime. The milk bars near St Catherine's. The pączki window on Brzozowa where queues form at four. Cross the river to Podgórze and the scene gets quieter — fewer tourists, smaller kitchens, food cooked at its own pace.
Run a cooking class or open your table from your own kitchen. You set the menu, the dates and the price - we handle bookings, payment and support.
