Reviews:
MARIE: Absolutely amazing experience! Maria was so great to deal with prior to the class and during the class! She made the booking of the class a breeze and we had such a great time cooking and learning about polish traditions during the class! 10/10 would recommend and do again.
ANNA-KARIN: Christmas dumplings cooking class was a really enjoyable and memorable evening for me and my two colleagues (from Sweden and Finland). Maria was a great hostess and spoke excellent English. We got to make pirogis together and then Maria cooked them whilst serving us a traditional Polish Christmas dinner. Lots of fun and I would definitely recommend it.
ROSE: Excellent experience, Maria is really well organized. We had a really lovely time and very sociable!
JEREMY: Such a fun class! I highly recommend this to anyone wishing to learn a little Polish culture through cooking. Maria is friendly and helpful. She shared lots of interesting information about not only pierogi as a dish, but its importance in Polish culture and in the Christmas tradition.
