I'm a native Krakowian. For three cosy hours, we'll make pierogi (Polish dumplings) by hand, the way my mum taught me. Then sit down to traditional soup, our pierogi + homemade cake, and good stories, with Kraków's history and art along the way. For fifteen years, I've cooked for the people I love. Eight years ago, I started opening my home to guests from all over the world, and it's become a real joy. As a born Krakowian I get to share stories about the city's history, especially when it comes to art and architecture, another passion of mine. The pierogi will be made following authentic recipes handed down generations in my family. My home sits right by the Wisła, where the locals live, about 15 minutes by taxi or 20 minutes by bike along the river from the Old Town. Total beginners are more than welcome, and confident cooks still pick up proper technique. It's about the experience and the chatter, not perfection. Nobody leaves my kitchen hungry, or as a stranger.
