Polish Classics

Before I trained as a chef I lived in Kraków, visiting the milk bars (bar mleczny) with my family and spending my holidays on babcia’s farm. This is the food I grew up on, so start here if you’re new to Polish cooking.

My Allotment

I keep an allotment, and a lot of what ends up on this site starts there. See what grew in 2026 and what I cook from it.

Chef Łukasz Babral
About the Chef

Hello, I’m Chef Łukasz Babral.

I grew up on Polish home cooking and never really left it behind. Here I share the dishes my family made (pierogi, żurek, kotlety, jars of ogórki kiszone) alongside the global flavours I’ve fallen for over the years.

Every recipe is tested in my own kitchen and written so you can actually cook it. No fuss, just good food to share.
