1.Warsaw’s No 1 cooking class-Polish dumplings with liqueur tasting

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 576 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $77.97Our pick

Warsaw pierogi cooking class where you make Polish dumplings from scratch, choose meat or vegetarian, request vegan, then taste Polish liqueurs.

“We signed up for the class as an early Mother's Day gift from my sister's children who are half-Polish and desperately miss their late Babcia's Cooking. Patrycya gave us a little background history on pierogi and then instructed us in making four varieties of Poland's favourite dish. The class was limited to a small number which enabled Patrycya to provide one on one instruction where necessary. After the pierogi was made, we were rewarded for our efforts by eating the fruits of our labour. Delicious! We can't wait to try our newly learned skills when we return to Australia. Highly recommended. Thank you, Patrycya.”

Krakow pierogi cooking class with a small-group market visit, hands-on instruction in a family home, and a home-cooked meal with Polish beer.

“This was a very fun and authentic experience. It started in the market where all ingredients were purchased. The host (Kasia) taught the people in the group how to say the words in Polish so they could order the necessary food at the market. The actual cooking was done in Kasia's home (had to take a taxi to her house which was included in the price of the tour). She provided snacks/drinks. The pierogis tasted amazing and recipe was emailed to the group. My family of 4 all agreed this was a highlight of our week in Poland!”
