Warsaw’s cooking classes offer an authentic gateway into Poland’s kitchen traditions. Most schools focus on pierogi-making – those famous Polish dumplings – with expert instructors teaching proper techniques in English or French. Small-group formats ensure you’ll get plenty of personal guidance.
I love the seasonal workshops, especially the Christmas cooking class where you’ll learn holiday specialties. The best schools keep groups intimate (usually 6-8 people) and adapt recipes for various dietary needs.
