In our cooking we use natural products, mostly organic and eco-products mainly from small, local producers from the Malopolska region. Together with workshop participants we create meals sticking to the slow food ideas, we do not use any improvers, flavour enhancers, powders or processed products. We are open to world cuisines taking participants of our workshops and dinners into culinary travels far away from Poland – to France, Italy, Spain, India, Vietnam, Thailand and many other places in the world.
To accompany meals we always choose specially selected natural and biodynamic wines from our proven producers, mostly small and family Polish and European wine producers.
