For the last 12 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!

What a lovely evening! Terrific food, good company, lively conversation. Marta and Mark are great hosts, and our meal was even better than we had anticipated. Let's see: a welcome-to-our-home shot of homemade fruit-infused vodka, appetizer with herring in sour cream, slice of sausage, and a radish; soup, a delicious chicken broth with mashed potato and a few sausage slices; a thick beef step served with roasted potato and two kinds of cabbage, plus red or white wine. And extraordinary cheesecake with a caramel sauce and nuts and stewed plums. Our group represented three countries (Poland, US, and UK), and we enjoyed congenial conversation on many subjects. Highly recommended!

This program was a new adventure for me.
I don't speak English well and I have to join alone.
But Martha was very kind and comfortable.
The food prepared for the guests was quite enough and delicious.
Thank you again to Martha and the guests who cared about me and my English.

Another perfect lazy, colourful, cosy and tasty day away from the reality of everyday life. We learnt about the art of kimchi from the fantastic Mira, who brought a little bit of Korea to the Polish countryside, and were inspired by Bozena who has an encyclopaedic knowledge of how different cultures...
Another perfect lazy, colourful, cosy and tasty day away from the reality of everyday life. We learnt about the art of kimchi from the fantastic Mira, who brought a little bit of Korea to the Polish countryside, and were inspired by Bozena who has an encyclopaedic knowledge of how different cultures around the world ferment their foods (it seems that there isn't anything you can't ferment), and brought back to our good old Polish roots by Marta who started off this year's sauerkraut.

I had a wonderful evening at Marta’s. It was an infinitely more enriching experience than eating in a restaurant, especially as a solo traveler. When I arrived Marta was making pierogi and we acould all try making one ourselves. We had traditional soup made from a fermented base, stuffed cabbage leaves with tomato sauce, pierogi and delicious cheesecake with caramel sauce, washed down with red wine. The food was great, but the sense of international community whilst meeting lovely people was even better. The presence of a film crew making an Italian tv programme just added further spice to the evening. Marta is an inspiration for cooking, hospitality and international relations and I can’t recommend this experience highly enough.
