Overview

These pirogi don’t come from a restaurant — they come from memory. In this hands-on workshop in Slavonia, you’ll make a dish rarely found on menus, but deeply rooted in local tradition.

The recipe comes from my late grandmother, made just as she did — by feel, not by measurements. From kneading the dough to folding each piece, every step follows her rhythm and care.

We use humble but meaningful ingredients: flour, eggs, potatoes, onions… seasonal, simple, and nourishing. All ingredients are sourced locally — many straight from the garden.

But tradition doesn’t mean boring. We always add a small modern twist — especially to the sweet version. One day it might be served with homemade ice cream, another with fresh fruit from our orchard or a touch of edible flowers.

You’ll get your hands messy, your belly full, and your heart warm. This experience blends the old and the new — and every time, it’s deliciously different.

This is the heritage — and you’re invited into the kitchen.

Activity itinerary

A traditional pirogi-making workshop in a cosy Slavonian kitchen – limited to 5 guests for an intimate and heartfelt experience. “Pirogi aren't just food — they're memories you knead, fill, and share. Here, we don’t just make them — we inherit them.” What to Expect: Step into a warm, welcoming kitchen where time slows down and recipes aren’t read — they’re felt. This workshop invites you to roll up your sleeves and rediscover the flavours of the past through Slavonia’s beloved pirogi, made just like grandma used to. Pirogi are a common dish in this part of Slavonia thanks to a wave of migration from Galicia in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. My own ancestors were among them, and that’s exactly why I now keep this tradition alive — by sharing it. You’ll work with three traditional fillings: • creamy mashed potatoes with onion and black pepper, • tangy sautéed sauerkraut, • and sweet pirogi filled with homemade fruit jam. Everything is done by hand, from the dough to the shaping — no machines, no shortcuts. Be ready to get your hands messy. While the pirogi cook, we’ll sit together, share stories, and enjoy the first warm bites of what we’ve created together.
