A must do experience!!! - Making Pierogis with Magdalena was the best part. Buy ingredients in polish at the local market was a great way to get the day going. Learning how to make them correctly to be successful afterwards and enjoying all the effort in the end was great. Best experience and most enjoyable part of my trip.

Fantastic cooking experience! - What a fantastic experience on our Poland tour. Dominika was so personable and patient with us "non-pierogi" cookers - lol. I loved visiting the market and cooking in her apartment in Krakow. It was a wonderful experience and highly recommended!

The Best Day Ever! - This was probably the most enjoyable and knowledgeable event/class we did during our stay in Krakow. Our host Magdalena was wonderful, entertaining, warm, and extremely hospitable in opening up her home and showing us how to make the BEST pierogi! During our time with her she also helped us learn more about the Polish language and local traditions. HIGHLY recommend this class for anyone visiting Krakow, and who is a lover pierogi.

Great way to get to know Poland, its people and food - Shopping for the ingredients was fun, especially trying to speak Polish. Talking with Kasha was great. Best of all was making and eating the pierogi.

Perfect Poland Palatable Pierogi Preperation - Truly a special experience with a local guide! Getting to see the market where the locals go was a treat! I could have spent more time there BUT we needed to get to our guide's home to make the pierogis! We enjoyed her sharing her life and historical knowledge as we traveled to her place. Dominika was perfectly prepared, having things ready to go once we got there. This made it so enjoyable as we learned some of the 'secrets' to accomplishing pierogi making for when we return home! Thank you so much for this fun experience.

Best time today ! - So, I signed up for the pierogi making class because when in Poland you need to do as they do. My friend was sick so it was just me. Alicja was the guide. We started on time and walked to the market where she told me I’d be ordering the food and gave me a “polish cheat sheet” we practiced first ( it was hard but Im so glad I tried) . It was not what I expected but so so happy as I wanted to learn and experience as the Polish do. She took time to explain food in the market and beyond. It was fascinating to see how they make their pickles. After a short trip to her home we started, now let me preface -I don't eat much and I don't cook. Well,, I had the BEST day, Alicja stood right by me guiding, telling stories and answering my million questions as she taught me the art of making the dough, the inside and how t finish them with your own “signature”. I not only learned to cook them I tried other polish foods, and ate some of a poppy cake ( id never even heard of it) ,, we talked about so many things and I learned so much. It was beyond a pleasure to spend time learning, cooking and conversing with Alicja. I’d do it again in a heartbeat
