AUGUST 25, 2023: Pierogi & Dumpling Workshop

Come make dumplings with us! We regard dumplings as the ultimate comfort food, as well as one of the best ways to share warm & cozy sentiments with friends and loved ones. What are dumplings, if not a tiny & edible warm hug? For this master class, Katya Lyukum is coming to the mill to share her global dumpling knowledge with you (check out the photos to see some of her dumpling creations!) In Katya's words, dumplings "can be an ultimate breakfast or an appetizer, a main dish, a small plate, or a dessert enjoyed any time of the day." As a Ukrainian native, she has extensive knowledge of Ukrainian and Polish dumpling traditions and will spend the majority of this class teaching you one of her favorites - pierogi! 

Traditionally, Polish pierogi (also known as Ukrainian varenyky) are served with sour cream or melted butter. Signature Ukrainian sour cherry and blueberry pierogi are drizzled with fruit syrup or honey. During class, you will learn a foolproof method for dumpling dough, which can easily be adapted to your own personal tastes. You will master the shaping of traditional pierogi while also observing a few demos on how to use the same dough recipe for creative dumpling shapes. You will learn to make pierogi from start to finish and enjoy them in a tasting course of at least three unique Ukrainian fillings & preparations for dumplings. Expect to reach ultimate sweet and savory satisfaction through this special dumpling course!
