The best Christmas present my daughter ever gave me! - My daughter bought the Polish Cultural Workshop for me as a 2024 Christmas present. We attended the workshop on April 4th and were amazed at how interesting and informative it was. But most importantly, it was just plain fun for both of us. Both of my grandparents on my mother’s side emigrated to the U.S. from Poland and found a new home in Milwaukee. In the workshop, I learned about the ever-changing borders of Poland over the centuries which gave me the answer to the conflicting census information which listed my grandmother’s place of birth one year in Russia and another year in Poland. The workshop educated my daughter and I on the devastation of Warsaw by the Germans in World War II, Lech Walesa, the shipyard worker who was elected President of Poland, and the first Polish Pope, St. Pope John Paul II. I was surprised how much I liked my first Pierogi and even had seconds! I very highly recommend the workshop to anyone with Polish heritage, and to anyone else who might be interested in this beautiful country. I went home to my wife telling her we needed to visit Poland very soon. My daughter and I left feeling closer than ever as a father and daughter as a result of her hearing me talk about my mother and my grandmother. The evening is something I will never forget.

WONDERFUL experience!!!! - Gosia was so very welcoming and extremely knowledgable. It was a gift to be able to see her answer some of my father's questions about his Polish grandparents, watch them connect over the different types of food he had growing up, and learn so much about Poland's history together. And the Pierogi we absolutely delicious! I cannot say enough about this wonderful this workshop and dinner - Gosia is a treasure!

Cool Polish Cultural Experience! - This was a really cool experience! My sister and I had a lot of fun; Gosia was an excellent host and the workshop provided a great mix of Polish history, personal stories, Polish culture, and we even learned a few words! I learned a lot from the workshop about Poland and it's rich history and culture. Last but not least, the Pierogi dinner was great--I would highly recommend this!

History & Pierogis - Gosia was a gracious hostess. Her presentation on Poland was outstanding! You can just feel the love she has for her native homeland. To top it all off was the tasting of her homemade pierogis, absolutely delicious!!

Polish experience - I grew up with Polish families on both sides of my family tree. But being third generation, they didn't spend time teaching us about our heritage. This was a great way to learn more about Poland, which at one point disappeared completely from the map! Gosia covered history, geography, culture, and customs. It was informational and endearing. The homemade pierogi's were delish!! She offered many ways to continue to connect and learn about my heritage. I would highly recommend it!

Polish culture immersion - Polish culture immersion in stories, videos and facts about heritage past and present and learning a few words. The history of Poland and their borders or lack of was shocking to understand. The destruction and rebuilding of Warsaw is a testament to the strength of the people. The host shows her brother’s traditional Polish wedding ceremony and her favorite holiday. All Saints Day was clearly presented as a special time to celebrate the lives of past loved ones, so very honorable! We enjoyed the wonderful home made meal with amazing flavors. The home is very relaxing and the hospitality is welcoming.

Authentic History - Gosia was a wonderful host. Gosia lived in Poland until her 20's and in the past several years makes an annual trip back. If you are a history buff - she is the go to for anything about Poland history. A must attend if you are interested in touring the country of Poland and want to visit more than the tourist traps. She makes the pierogi's with a family recipe.
