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.

I like people and I like to cook, and what could be more fun and enjoyable than eating in good company? I’m one of those people who believe food can connect people, that by sharing meals, we share stories and create friendships. My large kitchen, shared table, a sideboard full of homemade liqueurs, vegan and vegetarian food, inspired by the kitchens of the world and a view of the church, are all yours, albeit for one evening or morning. I don’t eat meat, so my cooking is full with vegetables, fruits, cereals, beans and bunches of herbs, whilst the kitchen shelves are loaded with homemade preserves, which you are welcome to prowl through.
I am happy to share everything I know about Kraków, to tell you about the places that are not in the guidebooks, about interesting social and culinary initiatives, and about fascinating people.
I am a graduate of European languages and of journalism. I organize the regular Krakow culinary festival Najedzeni Fest! as well as cooking workshops. With my boyfriend I run Hummusija Amamamusi, a vegan bar in Kazimierz, the Jewish district of Krakow, where you can eat a dozen types of hummus, soup, cake and drink some rather good wine.

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.
