Top Kiev Cooking Classes

Such a fun experience ! They were so nice to us, we laughed so much! The food was delicious. I 100% recommend this cooking lesson. We LOVED it! Thank you again ☺️

The ladies were wonderful. Mother daughter team are very nice. Daughter speaks good English and translate for mom. It was fun getting in there and mixing up the dough and getting to cut up all the ingredients for the borscht. The Varenky are fun to make and had three different kinds. When I come back to Kyiv, this will be on my list. My wife and I had fun. It is a must if you want to taste the Real Ukrainian dishes.

I really enjoyed the cooking class! Even though I was not the best with preparing the varenyky, it was incredible to see the process of how both these traditional foods were made. I definitely left on a full stomach!

My parents visited me in August 2019 while I was living in Ukraine. This experience was a highlight for them, and they still tell their friends stories, especially because of the “at home” feel!

Our private Ukrainian Cooking Class in Kiev exceeded expectations. Everything from the private kitchen in a local home, to the explanation of the ingredients, and the process of preparing the food contributed to the authentic experience of learning more about Ukrainian culture through its food. Our hosts were welcoming and kind, the food was delicious, and the entire experience was enjoyable despite our level of expertise with cooking. I would highly recommend this class to everyone, no matter your age or background, as an excellent way to immerse yourself in Ukrainian culture while enjoying good food and conversation.

Truly worthwhile excursion, compactly arranged in three hours including the transportation. Also very flexible in scheduling. The class was hands-on for a small group (they hold a class for solo, too). Food is a full meal equivalent so do not eat before the class I now feel to have understood why Borsch has been loved by so many people for a long time. Home made one is distinctively delicious.

Truly worthwhile three hour home cooking course, including the transportation and a complete meal. Tasty and healthy Ukrainian home cuisine, certainly to be replicated when I get home. Also was a good experience to visit the residential area!

We had an excellent time with Olga and her family. She taught us how to make 2 Ukrainian specialties and allowed us to get our hands dirty helping. It was so much food and it was all delicious. A nice break from the city center and more touristy attractions. A real Ukrainian experience!

The hosts were lovely! We enjoyed every minute of our cooking class and had lots of fun. We can highly recommend this class to learn about Ukrainian food and traditions and to meet wonderful Ukrainian people. They are warm and welcoming ;)

We had an amazing time during this cooking class, the whole experience was really lovely. We learnt how to cook Ukrainian dumplings and Borscht. The environment was really friendly with everything being well explained and demonstrated. It was really lovely to sit down with everyone afterwards and eat what we had created. Overall a lovely experience which I would recommend to everyone!

We booked this experience for our Dad to experience how to make Borsch and Varenyky to relive when our Grandma used to make it for us when she was still alive. What a way to do it, in a traditional apartment in the centre of Kiev with such a welcoming family. The course was explained to us in English to help us understand and we learnt the true Ukrainian cooking way! It was amazing and I would highly recommend. Thank you so much!

After a prompt and easy pick up from our address, we (3 friends in Kiev for the first time) were taken to this authentic home, where we were welcomed warmly and taught how to make traditional and authentic borscht soup and verenyky dumplings with 3 different fillings, which we then ate. This experience was fantastic, and we loved talking to our hosts about Ukraine. A perfect autumnal afternoon spent with good friends, good food and amazing hosts. Would highly recommend!

Our morning with Olga and her mother was a fantastic experience. Through Olga as a translator, her mother taught us the how and why of cooking Borsch and Varenyky. Very hands on, as me and my wife were both able to complete most of the steps to make both. In between steps was great conversation with Olga about local Ukrainian life, and history. Highly recommended if you like to cook and want to get off the beaten tourist path.

Very nice afternoon cooking traditional Ukrainian food in a typical Kiev apartment with a very nice mother and daughter. We were picked up promptly at our hotel and driven to the residential area of Kiev to a Soviet era apartment building. The apartment was very clean and comfortable. Highly recommend if you want a taste of typical Ukrainian food and daily life.

An in-home cooking class from a very experienced family cook. We learned both the “how” (preparation and technique) and the “why” (available ingredients, tradition, nutrition and economics) of these two staples of Ukrainian cuisine. The mother/daughter team is delightful (mother as chef and teacher, daughter as translator and driver to and from our hotel). A great afternoon for foodies and anyone else interested in a unique perspective on Ukrainian culture.

I would recommend this cooking class to everyone who wants to experience a real ukrainian evening. My hosts were amazing and made the experience complete. Can‘t wait to try the recipe at home and show everyone what I learned. Definitly a must for every food lover!!
