Every culture has their comfort-food dumplings, and warm, hearty Polish pierogies are right up there with the best of them. In this fun, hands-on workshop, Maria Rozynska of Just Be Cooking leads you through the process of kneading & rolling, filling & shaping, and boiling & frying homemade pierogies from scratch.
You’ll start the class with a warm borscht broth, then dive into learning how to make several fillings including: classic dry cottage cheese & potato, savoury sauerkraut, mushroom and onion, as well as delicious dessert pierogies with a sweet fruit filling. There will also be a short presentation on Polish cuisine, and maybe even a traditional folk song or two!
Guests will have the option to try all the pierogies with warm caramelized onions and/or a sour cream in class, or can opt to take their pierogies home along with any extras made in class.
