The best pierogi recipe - I booked onto this class solo as I was travelling to Kraków alone. Easy to get to by tram from the centre, and both hosts were very warm and welcoming. It was great to learn about pierogi and get the chance to make them as a group. These are probably the best pierogi I've ever tasted, so I'm really excited to use their recipe to make them at home!

Great experience - My friend and I were the only ones booked on for this, we had Olga showing us what to do and she was so lovely and sweet, felt like cooking with a friend as she was very friendly and gave us some great tips also for the rest of our trip.
We had lots of space to make the dough and filling, and were about to make lots of peirogi which were lovely and so much more filling than they look. We can’t wait to get home and try to make them ourselves again.

Such a GREAT experience! - We took a cooking class with our instructor Olga last week and it was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Poland. Olga was so friendly, kind, and fun to spend our morning with learning to cook pierogi. She made it fun and easy while also being such a great, relaxing activity for our rainy day. The pierogi were delicious! I even ate the stuffing that was extra because it was so good. I can't wait to try making them again at home while thinking of this unique and special day we spent in Poland. Thank you Olga for making this such a memorable and happy experience.

Terrific class with fun instructors and excellent food - We booked a cooking class as a team event. Our work team has people from Poland, Ukraine, the US, the UK, and Denmark, and I was lucky to have an experienced pierogi maker on my right for the class. That wasn't necessary though, because Ania did a superb job showing us how to make pierogi from fresh ingredients. We made 3 types: a meat version, potatoes and cheese, and apple. They provided the fillings, and we made the dough from scratch, mixed the fillings, and made the dumplings. The results were excellent! Great fun atmosphere, with friendly and helpful instructors. I'd happily go back for another event, and I hope next time I am here with my wife I can bring her.

Worth it!! - Super fun experience!!
Was greeted right away and settled in. All the ingredients were readily available and the instruction was super clear and concise. I don’t think I’ve ever made anything from scratch and this was so quick, easy and fun. What a great class to take a little bit of poland home. Highly recommend!!

Not the best cooking class we have done - We had a large group and recently booked this class. Prior to the class, we emailed the company and made the total number of attendees very clear since we need to add more people than the reservation would allow us to do online. We received a confirmation that the extra people would be accommodated, and we paid for them in cash at the beginning of class. In spite of this, the instructor was not prepared for the additional people and mentioned multiple times that she did not know the total number of people that would be attending. She told us she did not have enough ingredients so several people had to share bowls and periogi fillings. She also told us that because of the large number of people, we may be making less food since we would have less time to cook it. In the end, we were able to make our pierogies and enjoy them, but the experience was ruined because the instructor simply didn’t seem to be prepared for us and we got the impression that we were adding an additional burden. This is unfortunate, because I have booked several Viator tours in the past and I’ve always had a wonderful experience.
