Great experience - Our visit to the market and pierogi-making class with Alicja was absolutely wonderful. My group loved the entire experience and would highly recommend it to others—we had so much fun and even learned a new skill! Getting to play with her dog was an unexpected bonus and definitely a highlight.

Pierogi class - Good chance to learn more about polish cooking. Hands on experience. The farmers’ market was fun and you learn a couple of polish phrases.

Scrumptious and Fun - We had an excellent experience with Agata. Shopping at the market was great fun and fascinating as was driving out of the centre to where people actually live. The class itself was instructive snd enjoyable and my only regret is that I couldn’t manage all the delicious lunch. I highly recommend this your and Agata as a teacher.

Pierogi Making - Review for Agata: Thank you for the pierogi recipe!! When my daughters saw the photos of you and all of us making pierogies they said they want to make them too when they come for a visit. We enjoyed our shopping trip to the fresh market and then visiting with you at your beautiful home. You were a wonderful hostess providing us with plenty of delicious food in addition to the pierogies. The tasty bread and pastries were a treat we cannot find in the states. Thank you!! You are hospitable and speak very good English which made us feel welcome. This is an experience not to be missed since you will be immersed in the local culture and meet interesting people. Agata was amazing and a great cook who guided us through making delicious potatoe cheese pierogies.

Fun Grocery Shopping and Cooking with Local Guide - Our guide and teacher Dominika was amazing! She was friendly, upbeat and professional. She helped us shop in the local market and then took us to her lovely home where we learned how to make pierogis. It was a fun, hands-on experience that lasted in total about 3 hours. Dominika was well prepared, gracious, and supportive of our attempts to create this terrific food. We enjoyed her thoughtful responses to our questions about Polish food and culture. It was the highlight of our trip! We are confident that we will be successful when we make pierogis in our own home. We wholeheartedly recommend this experience. Worth every penny!

Wonderful experience - I was not expecting much from the pierogi making class but it turned out to be a highlight of our vacation to Poland. Magdalena taught our class and she was wonderful- charming, very knowledgeable about Polish history and culture, and a lot of fun. Plus the food was delicious and my husband and I now feel comfortable making pierogis at home. I would highly recommend this activity.
