5.00This class will be one of the highlights of your visit to Warsaw. The cooking was fun and easy to follow. I was amazed that we were actually able to make delicious pierogis our first time trying it.
Time well spent

5.00Polish Your Cooking classes on Polish cuisine were amazing! A great way to spend an evening in Warsaw. Even though, I am familiar with the Polish cuisine, as I am in fact Polish :) , I've never actually made any of the classics like pierogi, żurek or golabki on my own - I only remember seeing my mom and gradmas cooking those when I was a kid. So it was really nice for my husband and I to cook those dishes, especially with funny and charming chefs and other participants (btw, it's a great way to meet fellow travelers in Warsaw). The food was great and the atmospere so amazing and welcoming. Oh, and there was some traditional Polish alcohol involved ;) So really, it felt like a nice party at your friend's house :)
A must do in Warsaw

5.00We had a blast cooking with Magna! She spoke perfect English and was funny and a great cook! She accommodated our gluten allergy with ease and was a very talented chef. She explained the recipes and watched as we followed her instruction. She was a great teacher and I learned a lot! She also had funny stories and told us about Warsaw today and the current views. The class flew by! She made us a few drinks and explained their Polish origin as well. Amazing and well worth it!
Excellent and fun cooking experience

5.00We thoroughly enjoyed our Polish cooking class! The facilities were very nice and very clean. Magda was amazing !!!!! She was very personable, had a great sense of humor, and speaks English very, very well. She made the experience such a pleasure. My warning to future customers would be to skip breakfast before you go because the school provides an amazing and abundant spread of breads, meats, cheeses, etc. and you eat the dishes you make as each course is completed - lots of food! We would highly recommend this class to anyone visiting Warsaw! It can be a bit tricky to find - but look for the cooking school signs on the outside of the building. A great experience not to be missed!

5.00Learned how to make authentic pierogies at Polish cooking school. Our instructor, Julia, & all of her helpers, were wonderful & FUN. Nuce, small xlass...12 people.
“Polish Your Cooking” a great taste of Poland

5.00Don’t eat breakfast. There was so much traditional food in addition to the pierogis and apple pancakes we made, we could not eat it all. They did provide go boxes. So if you have a way to use leftovers, it was an even better deal. Students at our table took a ton of food home that we had no way to use because we were in a hotel. Excellent thing to do in Warsaw. A great kick off to my tour of Poland. And now I can make pierogis from scratch!
