Hello foodies and travelers from all over the World! My name is Magda. I like to share my love of Polish cuisine, its history and the history of Kraków, my hometown. Over the last few years, I have developed my passion for gastronomy, working as a food writer. I am addicted to everything that is connected with food; I like to find out about the history of each food item or food preparation. Where do pierogi come from? What is the history of some famous Polish soups, such as żurek or bortsh? I love modern books about food, but I am really into old cookbooks which are a great source of inspiration! I spent several years in France and my cooking sometimes has a little French touch, but always remains Polish. It will be great if you could join me at for my pierogi class or a dinner. My place is located nearby the Old Town of Krakow. I am curious about where you come from and whether you will be happy to discover tasty Polish classics and some great local products which I will buy for you on my favorite food markets. Polish cuisine is great and is full of treasures which should be shown to the entire World!

First, thank you again for our wonderful dinner at your home. All of us agreed that it is one of the highlights of our trip. To meet you, Pascal and Matilda and share a meal in your home was such a joy for us. Thank you again.

Terrific food - lively (and some serious) conversation - lovely wine - and a great setting. What more could you ask for. I hope to return to Kraków - and if I do, I know one place I'll be eating for sure!

My wife, Stephanie, and I thoroughly enjoyed the above class with Magda. She was a gracious host who made us feel right at home.

Magda gave us the choice of doing as much or as little as we choose during each part of the process. We took up on this choice and did those things that fit our individual skills while learning something about those aspects of making pierogis that we did not know beforehand. She took us step-by-step through the pierogi-making process from describing what ingredients were in each of the fillings, to making the dough, thru stuffing the pierogis and finally how to cook them. She explained what each topping for each type of pierogi was and why she used it. Finally we sat down with her and her family and enjoyed the fruits of our labors. The final products were great! We ate as much as we could and had a very enjoyable day.

Much thanks to Magda and Eataway!

My family of 5 was in Krakow for Easter and had a wonderful meal with Magda & Pascal. The only thing better than the delicious food was the hospitality of the hosts and meeting the other guests from around the world. I'd certainly recommend to anyone looking for a pleasant break from restaurants and you want to truly enjoy a meal and meet locals in their home. Till next time.....

Wonderful Easter breakfast! It may have been out of the wheelhouse of some of my fellow guests - but, for me and my cousin it was reminiscent of the Easters of our childhoods. Some of the food was quite different - but, so many were so familiar - and all beautifully made. Kudos to Magdalena and her...

Wonderful Easter breakfast! It may have been out of the wheelhouse of some of my fellow guests - but, for me and my cousin it was reminiscent of the Easters of our childhoods. Some of the food was quite different - but, so many were so familiar - and all beautifully made. Kudos to Magdalena and her husband Pacal for making us feel welcome - and it was also great to meet the other guests. Wonderful experience!
