Great Experience Leaning to Make Pierogi w/Magda! - My partner and I had so much fun taking this class with Magda! Not only did she teach us to make delicious pierogi, but she shared a wealth of knowledge about the best spots to eat, drink, and explore in Krakow - we can't wait to make her recipe back home & share with family/friends!

Great way to get to know a bit of the polish culture :) - I was having the Cooking Class with Madga. It was a great experience and the Pierogi were so tasty! It was only 4 of us, so we got almost an one-to-one teaching experience. Magda gave lots of Informations about the Pierogi-Making, but also about Krakow and the big picture of Poland. I really enjoyed my time and would highly recommend the class!

Delicious cooking course! - Joined my boyfriend for this pierogie class. I was really looking forward to it and already had a high expectation because cooking is a passion of mine and I was looking forward to learning something from Polish cuisine. But WOW! I didn't expect it to be such an amazing experience. Olga has explained everything to us in detail and she has told a lot about the traditions and customs of Polish cuisine. We had many questions and she answered them with great enthusiasm. Besides that it was also super fun with a relaxed atmosphere. You could see that cooking is her passion and she takes you with her cheerful enthusiasm. We had many questions about other Polish dishes she answered and then emailed us with a list of tips from other Polish delicacies. Both me and my boyfriend tied it great!
