With Hanna
Twist, boil and bake Kraków’s own ring bread, the one sold from blue carts on every corner. Great with kids.

The obwarzanek krakowski has been baked here for centuries and is protected as a regional product. You see them everywhere, but almost nobody knows how they are made.
With Hanna you twist the dough, boil the rings, top them with poppy seeds, sesame or salt and take them warm out of the oven.
Cousins, not twins. Obwarzanki are twisted from two or three strands, thinner and crispier, and in Kraków you eat them warm from a street cart.
Make pierogi by hand in a real Kraków home, then sit down to soup, your pierogi and cake. Yes, Hanna is my wife.
Not a march past the highlights: a slow walk with a born Krakowian, with time to look up and ask questions.
A private evening at our table with dishes from Kraków and stories about Polish life. For groups of four to ten.
