The Story Behind Pierogi
Pierogi are one of the best-known foods associated with Polish cooking.
These filled dumplings are traditionally made with a simple dough and a variety of savoury or sweet fillings. Families have their own recipes, techniques and favourite combinations, making pierogi as much about tradition and sharing food as they are about the recipe itself.
In this workshop, you'll explore the techniques behind traditional Polish pierogi while learning how to make them yourself.
Don't just watch. Make them yourself.

You'll work alongside the instructor, prepare the food yourself and have plenty of opportunity to ask questions and learn the techniques properly.
