What To Expect
We are going to show you how to make pierogi like a pro. At the beginning, you’ll go shopping at the bustling market, and you will get from your guide all the insider info on the fresh vegetables and produce for sale along the way. Your guide will even be able to teach you some expressions in Polish if you wish so that you can barter at the market like a true Krakow native! Next on this Krakow tour, you’ll be taken to a family home, where you’ll be able to put all that delicious fresh produce to use and get some cooking lessons from Krakow locals. You’ll be taught how to make a pierogi, a typical Polish dish (kind of like a dumpling). Whilst you’re cooking you’ll have the chance to ask all the questions about Poland you have always had. Finally, you’ll be able to enjoy the fruits of your labour and tuck into all the Krakow food you’ve been making. As you’ll be eating with a Polish family, this will also be your chance to ask all those questions you have about Polish culture, and your hosts will be very happy to teach you all about their country. Eat, drink, and be merry – Krakow style!

5.00Magdalena is a wonderful teacher and host! This “tour” was great! It was not just a cooking class but I true step into the traditions and culture. Shopping for the ingredients in a local market is a great addition to the tour. Magdalena, thank you for opening your home to us and passing on your love of pierogi.

5.00Superb afternoon! Magdalena was an absolute delight. She guided us through the farmers market and even challenged us to purchase our ingredients in Polish, which made the experience both fun and memorable. We then went to her home, where she shared her family recipe and cooking techniques. Along the way, we enjoyed delicious locally made appetizers and beer while preparing our pierogi. Magdalena made the entire experience engaging and enjoyable, filling it with stories about her family and the history of Kraków. If you’re looking for a delightful and flavorful adventure, I highly recommend this tour—be sure to ask for Magdalena!
Such a fun and delicious...

Amazing time making pierogis with Alicja!

5.00We did the pierogi experience with Alicja and it was fantastic! She took time taking us around the market and getting new foods for us to try. The polish snack board and drinks made the experience even better! Also, the pierogis were amazing, some of the best we had throughout our time in Krakow! I would definitely recommend pierogi making with Alicja
Great experience

5.00The pierogi making class was fun, relaxed, and really personal. Kasia made everyone feel comfortable right away and guided us through each step with ease. And the best part—the pierogi were delicious! It felt more like cooking with a friend than taking a class. Definitely recommend!
Pierogi making experience

5.00We had a great afternoon with Alicja! She patiently escorted us through the market, taught us how to order the ingredients for her family pierogi recipe from the market vendors. Alicja welcomed us into her beautiful home and we had a great time “attempting” to make her pierogies. I am sure they were not as good has her grandmas but they were delicious. We would Highly recommend Alicja and the pierogi making experience to anyone lucky enough to visit Krakow.
Great experience

5.00Our 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.

5.00We 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.
