5.00I love joining local cookery classes whenever I’m in a new place, and this pierogi making class with Sylwia did not disappoint. we were in a small group and Sylwia’s gentle presence made it easy for me to feel welcomed and comfortable despite attending solo. the recipe is so simple that if I were more cynical I might be thinking “I could just google the recipe or watch a Youtube video, no need to pay for a class!”, but then there were little anecdotes Sylwia shared of her family making tons of these mighty dumplings over many years, and simple, lovely chats we had as a group, that made the experience truly unique. and pierogies were of course scrumptious. what more can I ask for?

4.00The course as such is great, the teacher was very friendly has ensured a good mood, sent the recipe by mail, gave good tips. For the price, a second drink included would be good (gives only one otherwise water) and possibly a few more pirogues or varieties.
Fantastic Pierogi Making!
