Vegan Cooking Classes in Kraków
Most sessions run two and a half to three hours. You'll make dough from scratch. You'll spend time at the stove. You'll eat what you made, slowly, at someone's kitchen table. The hosts who do this kind of class tend to care about the food being right, not the dietary-trend market, which means they'll tell you which Polish vegan substitutions actually work and which ones are bad ideas.
Gluten or nut allergies? Mention them when you book. Adjustments are usually possible, but the host needs lead time.

Hello! My idea of cooking is that it must be healthy, which means using ingredients of the highest quality, with no artificial additives at all, plenty of fresh and dried herbs, and Himalayan salt. Root vegetables are central to my cooking, the best being our own Polish ones, such as carrots, parsnips, celery and beetroot.
At the same time, I cook lots of meals with a low glucose index, which basically means avoiding wheat and sugar. So I am very happy to cook for anyone who has special dietary requirements.

Kraków has quietly become one of central Europe's best cities for vegan food. Forty-plus fully vegan restaurants now. But if you actually want to cook the cuisine, restaurants don't help much. You need a kitchen and someone willing to teach you.
The technical challenge with Polish cooking, if you want to make it plant-based, isn't the obvious dishes. Pierogi z kapustą i grzybami (cabbage and mushroom dumplings) are vegan by default. So is most of żurek if you skip the kiełbasa, and bigos can be made convincingly without meat. The real challenge is the dairy. Twaróg and śmietana are everywhere, in everything. A good vegan teacher will show you what to swap in, and what's worth giving up on.
